With more people getting tech savvy and computer literate, many Indians are looking at getting
their own personal pocket PCs. From business professionals to college graduates, everyone in India
seems to be harboring for a laptop. One of their main advantages over a desktop computer is the
ability to carry it around and the portability factor. Laptops are generally used by those who work
outside the workplace, who are heavily into graphic designing and need to stay in touch with
anyone and everyone 24 x 7.
Laptops have become a symbol of status for many too. To own a laptop means you are a class apart and
have an asset only the rich can afford. Even in organisations, only the senior levels are given laptops, while
the lower levels are to make do with the bulky computers. As you go higher the echelons, a laptop is
given to you. This marks your growth and earns a higher reputation.
In 2007, the laptop market grew by 84.8 per cent with Hewlett Packard (HP) retaining the first
place again. They had a market niche of 37.8 per cent. Lenovo and Acer came in a close second and
third respectively. India’s local manufacturers still have a long way to go if they want to make it
into the top five. As for now, multinationals laptop companies continue to dominate the market.
Most laptop manufacturers offer great features which are powerfully presented, have stylish designs, wide
array of colours and can be custom made to suit your special needs. With friendly and easy to use
functions, configurations that meet people’s requirements, latest design on your system, you can have all
these features in one laptop alone. Many laptop companies have different styled presentations for their
laptops to market them as unique and one of a kind.
Organisations pick a particular USP that no other has and hard sell the fact. For instance if you
want style Sony is the laptop company. It gives you durability and style like no other. You can
flaunt your trendy lifestyle with the laptop you carry. Similarly cost is also a market cutter. It
determines where you stand in the market. As more and more middle class citizens are enjoying
higher salaries, laptops are entering their homes. Hence a reasonably priced laptop will certainly
enjoy a larger size of the market than an extremely high priced one.
But with the increasing need of a laptop the market is certainly in its nascent stage and has colossal grow
potential.
