“While the laptop category is not growing very rapidly today, we believe the key barrier is to give a high-performance, well-designed product at an accessible price. We have always strived to close the gap between consumer needs and available devices by bringing alive the best technology innovations, and we believe we have done it with Ignite,” said Mr. Shubhajit Sen, Chief Marketing Officer, Micromax Informatics Limited during the launch.
With the new laptop series, Micromax is keen to establish a solid presence in the mid-level laptop segment based on Intel Core i3 Processor and the Intel Pentium Processor. These two chips make the bulk of the laptop purchases in the segment. Micromax stated they had been buoyed by the excellent response generated by its Lapbook I & II and its affordable 2-in-1 LapTabs.
The company which is also recognized as the 10th biggest handset brand in the world otherwise has a strong brand presence in the handset segment though almost all of them are based on Android. Micromax, which built its handset business on the premise of offering the best in class features and user experience at a competitive price point, is keen to extend that to the laptop segment as well.
