Asked if the gap between gaming and creative use laptops is thinning, Vickram Bedi, Senior Director, Personal Systems, HP India market, said: “It starts from basically what they use it for. When you game, you demand a certain level of output. For that you need a powerful CPU. On the whole, they are similar but there are nuances to it which might not be that critical on a gaming PC but start to become more critical on a creator PC.
“Even though colour gamut is important in gaming, it is much more of a deal-breaker on the creative side. It depends on the creator. If you are into visual arts, then it is an important thing. It depends on which portion of the business you look at,” he added.
“On the whole, there are similarities and that is why you see the form factors and just the nuances of how big and heavy a gaming laptop can go versus the creative side there is a different type of balance. Overall, the performance might look similar but there are nuances that are very different which comes from which type of creator, what you are into and what you are trying to get out of it,” he stated.
