Dell's Matt McGowan on how gamers are shaping the Alienware machines: They're not afraid to tell us what works and what doesn't
Gamers have always chased power. But today, as per Dell 's Matt McGowan , who leads Alienware at Dell, they're asking for more than just high frame rates. In a world where specs are no longer the sole currency of performance, experience has become the new battleground. From the look and feel of a laptop to the way it sounds, responds, and immerses, it all matters. And brands like Alienware are taking notes, not from a lab, but from their users, says McGowan. 'We don't just build machines, we're trying to set the stage for where gaming is going,' says Matt McGowan , General Manager, Alienware, as he sits down for a chat with Times of India . 'Specs still matter, but gamers aspire to more, they want devices that feel futuristic, personal, and culturally resonant.' At Alienware, it's visible in keyboards co-designed with the community, device tuning that reflects regional preferences, and even aesthetic changes made for a market as specific as India. Dell, through Alienware, is listening — really listening, says McGowan — to a community that's growing more diverse, more vocal, and more influential by the day. Built with, not just for, gamers by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo 'Community has always mattered, but it matters more now than ever,' says Matt McGowan, Global Product Lead at Dell Technologies . 'Gamers are sophisticated. They're not just asking for specs, they're asking for specific tactile feedback, thermal control, sound design. And they're not afraid to tell us what works and what doesn't.' One standout example of this ethos is the Cherry MX ultra-low profile mechanical keyboard that now ships with Alienware laptops. It wasn't a feature cooked up in a boardroom, it was born out of real demand from the gaming community. Dell partnered with Cherry, the renowned German switch maker, and together spent 18 to 24 months perfecting the switch design. 'People wanted mechanical feel on laptops, which is incredibly hard to deliver given the constraints,' McGowan explains. 'We didn't take the easy route. We didn't just slap in a switch. We engineered it from scratch, because users told us that's what they wanted.' This isn't an isolated case. Several features on Alienware's flagship machines, from ventilation design to display tuning, have their roots in user feedback loops. Even earlier, Dell built an external graphics amplifier in response to gamers who wanted desktop-level performance in portable form, an idea well ahead of its time when it launched nearly a decade ago. The traditional model—build, release, market—isn't enough anymore. Today's most successful hardware brands treat their communities like collaborators, not customers. And Alienware, long regarded as a 'for-the-elite' label, is increasingly opening its doors. 'We don't always get it perfect,' McGowan admits. 'But what we try to do is listen, iterate, and be transparent about our design choices. We want our users to feel like they helped make the thing they're buying. Because in many ways, they did.' Made for India, not just available in India While Dell continues to co-create with gamers globally, it's India that's emerging as one of the most influential markets in shaping Alienware's direction. For a country long treated as an afterthought in premium tech rollouts, this marks a pivotal shift. With the launch of the new Alienware Aurora desktop, Dell is doing more than expanding availability, it's adapting design decisions specifically to meet Indian gamers' needs. And that's not just marketing speak. It's visible in the product itself. 'We actually removed chassis lighting from the Aurora,' McGowan says. 'That's a first for Alienware. We always had it. But the research from India told us loud and clear, what gamers here value most is performance for price. So we prioritised performance.' In a market that's deeply price-sensitive but rapidly growing in PC gaming adoption, this decision reflects a nuanced understanding. By stripping out some of the 'premium frills,' Dell has managed to retain the performance ethos of Alienware while lowering the barrier to entry for Indian gamers. This isn't about cheapening the product, McGowan emphasises. 'It's still a quality machine. But we've made very intentional choices so that more people can afford that level of power. We want Alienware to be aspirational, but also accessible.' The company sees India as a market that not only matters in terms of numbers, but in terms of future direction. 'India was a huge contributor as we looked at the new product strategy,' McGowan says. 'From pricing to feature prioritisation, we had to get it right for India—and that ended up helping us build a better product globally.' Dell's internal data likely backs up this confidence. India's gaming PC market has seen double-digit growth, with a swelling base of Gen Z and Millennial gamers entering the ecosystem. These users may not always buy the highest-end model, but they're extremely vocal, deeply informed, and eager to engage with brands that take them seriously. And Alienware wants to be that brand. 'We want to own the gaming mindshare in India,' McGowan says. 'That doesn't mean we expect every gamer to buy Alienware today. But when they think of the best gaming experience—that's the association we want to build. And we know we have to earn it.' Gaming PCs has a new co-designer: The player Alienware's latest moves are part of a broader industry pattern: high-end gaming brands are adapting to a more demanding and diverse audience. India's growing influence in product decisions, once unthinkable for top-tier devices, is now shaping how global companies define value, performance, and design. What stands out isn't just that Dell is localising or 'India-fying' its products. It's that India is now baked into the global product strategy, right alongside Europe and the US. The result is hardware that feels less like it was made for a distant, idealised gamer, and more like it was built with real users in mind. Whether that leads to deeper adoption or just better hardware across the board remains to be seen. But one thing's clear: the days of designing in a vacuum are over. Gamers, from community forums to fast-growing markets like India, are now seated at the design table. And that's a welcome change to see. AI Masterclass for Students.

Blinkit won't cede quick commerce market leadership under any circumstance, says Albinder Dhindsa
CEO Albinder Dhindsa pointed out that Blinkit's near-term margins appear to have stabilised. For the April-June quarter, Blinkit reported a 140% year-on-year jump in gross order value (GOV) to Rs 11,821 crore, effectively taking its annualised GOV run rate to around $5.5 billion. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Blinkit will not yield ground in the highly competitive quick commerce sector, its chief executive Albinder Dhindsa said on Monday, underscoring that long-term profitability was not a also pointed out that Blinkit's near-term margins appear to have stabilised. 'It feels like margins have bottomed out,' Dhindsa said. As roughly a year's worth of new dark stores begin maturing, he expects both percentage margins and absolute losses to said, he noted that margin gains won't be smooth. 'There could be some bumps along the way if the competitive intensity goes up again.'Dhindsa's comments come at a time when the 10-minute delivery space has seen the entry of multiple players, over the last year. The new entrants include larger, cash-rich ecommerce companies such as Walmart-owned Flipkart and Amazon India.'The opportunity in front of us is massive, which means that the competition in this space is also very high. We see an influx of new players in this segment every now and then, and we see varying aggression by existing competitors, depending on their balance sheet and near-term growth objectives. Under no circumstances, will we let go of our market position here, and lose sight of the size of the prize in the long term,' Dhindsa wrote in a letter to the shareholders of Blinkit's parent company, Eternal For the April-June quarter, Blinkit reported a 140% year-on-year jump in gross order value (GOV) to Rs 11,821 crore, effectively taking its annualised GOV run rate to around $5.5 the same time, the quick commerce company, which competes with Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket, JioMart and others, reported adjusted operating losses of Rs 162 crore for the first quarter.'The long term profitability of the business is not a concern. Despite the investments in long term infrastructure and high competition, a large portion of our business is already profitable with some cities at over 2.5% adjusted Ebitda margin (as a % of net order value). Getting to these margins in some cities so early in this business, is a testament to the feasibility of our long term guidance of 5-6% margin,' Dhindsa noted, adding that in the near-term, loss margins have bottomed out.
