HP India sees big promise in premium laptops

Bengaluru: Personal computer maker HP is betting on premium laptops to drive sales in the Indian market as the company sees a surge in demand for devices with efficient features and better design.

The company, which on Wednesday launched its premium Spectre range that comprises HP Spectre Folio and HP Spectre x360 in India, said it is seeing faster growth in the premium and gaming devices than the traditional laptop segment.

“I think the premium segment purely as a percentage will grow faster. The traditional personal computer segment or mainstream is a very big part of the market: That will also grow, but at a slow pace,” said Sumeer Chandra, managing director, HP India.
