Dell will lay off approximately 6,650 workers as PC sales fall.

Gartner and IDC estimate that Dell’s shipments fell 16 percent in 2022, compared to the previous year and 37% in the past quarter. This is one of the most severe declines among the major PC vendors. Only Acer suffered a 41% drop in the fourth quarter.
