Before the COVID-19 pandemic, many families owned only one laptop computer. But in recent months many offices have decided to go for ‘work from home’ policy. Many parents have bought separate laptop computers for their children so that they can attend online classes and prepare homework. Computer sellers have mentioned, many families those who didn’t have any laptop computer are now buying one or more to adapt with the ‘new normal’.
This pandemic has become a blessing for computer sellers. Sellers from various computer markets in the capital including BCS computer city and Multiplan center have reported that they are not getting supply as per order, even air shipment is failing to cope with the demand. Production and supply from China where the COVID-19 pandemic was originated are getting normal gradually.
