It seems that Micromax understands that it needs to create newer categories of laptops because there are many out there who need more powerful laptops. We agree the laptop category is not growing very fast these days, but if companies manufacture high performance devices, we are pretty sure that many will be interested in purchasing them — regardless of their price.
