Top 100 Computers Trends in 2019

From Attachable Portable Monitors to Building Block PC Systems

— January 25, 2020 — Tech
The computer industry is continuing to undergo a number of changes as we see lifestyles like digital nomadism achieve mainstream popularity, which is showcased in this collection of the top computer trends in 2019.

Computers are being refined with aftermarket accessories that allow for a more immersive experience when working in a coffee shop or even to upgrade hardware without the need for a whole new system. These solutions are helping to transition computers away from being restricted to what OEMs are offering to something that can be completely customized by the end consumer and meet their every need.

The top 2019 computers trends also dictate the convergence of mobile with PCs and laptops as we see more touchscreens added to systems for an enhancement of the user interface.

For more computing trends in the upcoming year, check out Trend Hunter's 2020 Trend Report.
