It figures desktop sales will be down 31.9% to 101.1 million boxes and laptops up 9% to 155.6 million units.

Meanwhile, IDC cut its numbers on PC sales in Asia sans Japan by ~10%, saying that they would be flat this year at 74 million units. It’s less optimistic than it was about next year, taking its Asian growth numbers down 5% to 13% and then up 21% in 2011. We just have to live that long.
