The pandemic saw not only a spike in the number of new PCs sold in India but also the categories these PCs came from. One of the biggest changes was perhaps seen in the laptop segment which quickly became an all-in-one solution for those who had to study, work, play, or do all of those things in an affordable single device. As a result, the number of gaming machines sold in India went up to nearly 8,000,000 compared to just 40,000 units in 2016. However, it’s not clear if the big increase is just because of new people coming to gaming.
“Lots of customers procure a gaming machine just because they want a powerful machine,” said Arnold Su, Business Head of Consumer and Gaming PC at ASUS India. “When we look at gaming now, we don’t look at only pure gaming, but also at content creation. We also look at multitasking and then we start to create a new segment to meet the customer’s requirement.”
As Su said, the rise can be attributed to not just more gamers, but also more use-cases for gaming machines. This was especially true for gaming laptops, which have now become more versatile than ever, catering to the needs of gamers who also work, study, create content, or binge television shows.
Gaming laptops have always been more performance-oriented, which made them great for gaming, of course, but also when you wanted to work, edit videos, code, or even transfer large files, among a plethora of other use-cases that demand power.
