AI PCs: Why Adoption Is Still a Challenge In India
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. The advent of AI PCs has marked a significant milestone in the evolution of personal computing, promising to reshape how we work, create, and connect. While AI PCs are beginning to make their mark in India, particularly within the enterprise and premium consumer sectors, we're still in the early innings of widespread adoption. What was initially seen as a futuristic concept has now started resonating with users, for features such as AI-assisted writing, image generation, performance tuning, and intelligent battery optimization. Counterpoint estimates that by the end of 2025, one-third of new PCs sold in India will have on device AI capabilities such as Generative AI or Agentic AI. However, this still remains a premium and high tier focus and yet to trickle down to the mass market. Currently, AI PCs are positioned in the premium category owing to the advanced chipsets, built-in Neural Processing Units (NPUs), and software innovations, particularly considering it as a new category. Over time, as volumes scale and the ecosystem matures, price points will gradually decrease, much like previous transitions in technology leading to better adoption. The Growth So Far Dell Technologies have been working on AI integration in PCs for over two decades, with purpose-built accelerators that enhance performance, productivity, and user experience. In April 2025, Dell Technologies launched its latest business AI PC lineup featuring the Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max series. "Today, in India, we believe AI will be a cornerstone in defining the next generation of computing. As users demand more intelligent, adaptive, and efficient solutions, AI PCs are becoming central to meeting these needs. Features such as real-time personalization, contextual responsiveness, and predictive performance are no longer optional; they are becoming the norm. And with the upcoming Windows 10 end of cycle in October, we anticipate a major refresh cycle across the market. This presents a pivotal opportunity for users to transition to AI-powered PCs, unlocking new levels of productivity and user-centric computing," said Indrajit Belgundi, senior director and general manager, client solutions group, Dell Technologies India. As adoption accelerates, Dell foresees AI becoming indispensable in computing, especially in a dynamic and diverse market like India, driving transformation across sectors and empowering users with smarter, more intuitive tools. Acer India expects exponential growth in the next two–three years. The shift from cloud-based AI to on-device AI is accelerating demand for hardware that can support these capabilities natively. Government initiatives, digital learning, remote work, and a rising creator economy are also contributing to this momentum. "At Acer, our AI PC range—led by devices like the Acer Swift 14 AI and Predator Helios AI—has seen strong momentum. This growth is a result of ongoing efforts to demonstrate how on-device AI can make everyday tasks smarter, faster, and more personalized. The market's positive response reinforces our view that AI PCs are not a passing trend, but a transformative evolution in personal computing, and we remain committed to driving awareness and meaningful engagement in this space," said Sudhir Goel, Chief Business Officer, Acer India. Acer is among the early movers in the AI PC space in India, and while the AI PC category is still evolving in terms of formal market share metrics, "We've carved a strong position across both consumer and gaming segments. Our focus so far has been on building awareness, educating customers about the practical benefits of on-device AI, and ensuring availability across key online and offline channels. Our share in AI PC within our portfolio will be in the early double digit," Goel added. Over the last year, specific user groups, especially creators and professionals have been expecting to do more with their devices. "Despite current penetration still being modest, expectations are for AI PC volumes in India to grow 8–10 times from today's levels by the end of this year as replacement cycles kick in and Windows 10 devices reach end-of-support," said Arnold Su, Vice President, Consumer and Gaming PC, System Business Group, ASUS India. ASUS has seen strong growth across the board and believes that it will drive the next product replacement cycle for PCs. In the consumer segment, it has achieved an 18.5 percent market share backed by a 21.9 percent Y-O-Y growth. AI PCs penetration is expected to double by next year, and globally, they are projected to make up nearly 50 percent of the market by 2027. Driving this momentum are hybrid lifestyles, government-led digitization, and India's thriving SMB sector. "Our OMEN range of PCs are also equipped with AI features to enable a better gaming experience. With in-built AI features like HP AI Companion - a chatbot for smarter productivity, and Poly Camera Pro with noise cancellation, auto framing, and clear audio, we're helping users reimagine how they work, create, and collaborate in the new era," said Vineet Gehani – senior director, personal systems, HP India. What To Expect From OEMs To expand its reach further, Acer is intensifying efforts across three pillars—awareness, accessibility, and advocacy. Through targeted digital campaigns, influencer engagement, and strategic pricing, Acer aims to drive broader adoption and make AI PCs a mainstream choice across user categories in the coming quarters. "We plan to scale up retail and experiential campaigns that demystify AI use cases for consumers, particularly in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities. We are also working closely with platform partners, ecosystem players like Microsoft and Intel, and our own R&D teams to continuously evolve our product offerings with AI-first innovations," Goel explained. ASUS has already started making AI-ready devices available in the affordable category. Its Snapdragon-powered Vivobook 16 is among the AI-capable devices in the segment and was launched at an accessible price. "This is just the beginning, we're committed to expanding this portfolio further and ensuring that meaningful AI adoption is not limited to premium users alone. At ASUS, we've always believed in making next-gen technology more accessible for the wider market. We're not just focusing on premium users; our goal is to expand across price points and usage needs. On the product front, we are actively building richer and more intuitive user experiences with features like adaptive dimming and adaptive lock, which use AI to optimize screen usage and extend battery life by up to 40 percent," Su added. HP, with an AI PC portfolio, designed for enterprises, SMBs, creators, gamers, and everyday consumers, its latest OmniBook and EliteBook AI PCs—powered by high-performance NPUs delivering up to 55 TOPS— claims to bring intelligence and performance together. "We are also making AI PCs accessible across price points, ensuring that every audience—from students and SMBs to professionals and creators—can be ready for the future of work. With prices starting at INR 70,000, we are delivering innovation within reach for all segments of the Indian market," Gehani added. The Near Future According to IDC, by 2028, nearly 98 percent of all PCs are expected to be AI PCs equipped with NPUs that can run AI tasks directly on the device. This shift means faster performance, enhanced security, and improved energy efficiency, transforming productivity and collaboration. This shift will mirror what we saw with transitions to smartphones. Once the utility becomes evident and accessible, adoption accelerates quickly and this is already happening with AI PCs in India. India has seen a strong initial wave of interest translating into real adoption, especially among creators, working professionals, and students who are constantly multitasking or managing high-volume content workflows. However, this won't be without its challenges, "These models commanding a 10-15 percent price premium over traditional models is a significant barrier. Its visibility in offline retail channels—especially outside of major metro areas—is still limited, mostly dominated by older inventory with basic AI capabilities. To truly accelerate this market, we need to see more concerted efforts in trade, consumer education and the development of localized AI applications that clearly demonstrate the value of these devices to give instant ROI for the users purchasing an advanced AI PC," said Anshika Jain, senior research analyst, Counterpoint Research.

Is Particle Analysis the New Key to Great Coffee? We Tried It Out
The performance of coffee grinders used to be a mystery, unless you knew someone at a lab. We used a new tool to analyze our top coffee grinder picks, and maybe make better coffee. Courtesy of DiFluid; Getty Images All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Learn more. I don't mean to be dramatic when I say coffee grinders are both the biggest mystery in coffee, and also coffee's biggest hive of technological invention. If you find yourself in the online rabbit holes of the coffee world these days, you'll almost certainly encounter a bean geek eager to tell you a secret. The secret is that your coffee grinder is more important to how your coffee tastes than your drip brewer, and also more important than your espresso maker. This idea makes some sense. Just like temperature and time and pressure, the size of your coffee grounds will determine how fast your brewer can extract flavor—and maybe even which flavors get pulled out. Uneven coffee grinds, with lots of ultrafine particles or giant boulders, will cause uneven extraction. This in turn will result in bitter or muddy coffee, or a failed shot of espresso. Photograph: Matthew Korfhage But until pretty recently, grinder tech had been ignored by all but the nerdly few, says Jordan Michelman, cofounder of coffee website Sprudge, which for 15 years has been the coffee industry's home page. (Michelman is also a contributor to WIRED.) 'It's really just in the last decade that a lot more attention has been paid to grinder minutiae, grinder results, grinder tech,' Michelman said, noting it's now become a frenzy. 'There's been quite a lot more advancement, technological innovation, new tools, and new stuff in the world of grinding than there has been in espresso [machines]." Now, it's rare to find anyone who cares about coffee using a cheap, old-fashioned blade grinder—basically a blender for coffee—which roughly chops coffee beans with spinning steel. The new wisdom is that only burr grinders will do. Conical burrs are like a many-angled drill bit, crushing and funneling and finally cutting each bean. Flat burrs, meanwhile, are like spinning wheels of death that rotate against each other at a set separation. But even if you buy the expensive grinder, it's hard to know how well a coffee grinder is actually working, or even the basic rules behind what types of grinders create what flavors. Do conical burrs make coffee taste more like chocolate? Does a flat burr love fruit? Maybe. Technical-minded coffee influencers like Lance Hedrick have been pretty open about throwing up their hands when it comes to the actual science of it all. The science, quite frankly, isn't in. Grinders are lore . They're a shared culture of subjectivity. When I test grinders, much of the hard work is often done simply by taste test, comparing flavors yielded by different grinders with the same beans. I've used magnifying lenses to look at the evenness of grinds, scratched my head over static and clumping, and spent untold hours comparing notes with other coffee obsessives online. But up to now, about the best objective home tool for assessing grind precision was to pour coffee grounds through a set of sieves, and see how much coffee you still had left. Not a Leibovitz-caliber portrait, but it's something. The Age of Home Coffee Grinder Analysis Has Arrived Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Imagine my excitement, then, to finally have a piece of equipment that could potentially depict how well a coffee grinder works in granular detail. Specifically, I've got a DiFluid Omni ($900), a new device that promises something heretofore unknown: the chance for home coffee geeks to graph out the particle size distribution of a batch of coffee. (It also has a colorimeter, to assess the lightness or darkness of a roast.) Until recently, you'd have to shell out thousands of dollars to conduct particle size analysis on a batch of coffee—or maybe know somebody in Germany who runs a university lab. The Omni comes in at about a quarter of the price of the next closest device I've found. Still a lot, but it's an amount of money that many people actually possess. And the Omni promises to graph particle size with more reliability than previous attempts at home analyzers. And so for kinda the first time, it's possible for someone at home to assess how good a grinder is. Even a few years back, says Michelman, having tech like this at home would have seemed 'unthinkable.' Now that it's thinkable, we figured we'd put our favorite coffee grinders to the test—the grinders that the WIRED Reviews team has been recommending based on long experience. The coffee grinders we've been not just recommending but also sometimes arguing vociferously about behind the scenes. Some questions now have answers. So who would prevail? The Fellow Opus or the equally priced Baratza Encore ESP? Are higher-end burr grinders demonstrably better than budget grinders? And does the Omni actually work as advertised? The results are a little complicated. But I've learned more about my favorite coffee grinders this month than in the entire past year. For each grinder, among seven I tested during this first round of particle analysis, I kept it simple. I used the same coffee beans, from the same batch: A Stumptown Single Origin Colombia whose flavor I know well, with its roast date printed on the bag. I tested a medium grind for drip or pour-over coffee. And I tested nearly the finest grind each grinder was capable of, which usually was an espresso grind. (Just in case the actual finest grind was an outlier, I moved up a notch or a few notches coarser, for each grinder.) I then ran at least five tests for each grind size, for each grinder, to get a cumulative particle distribution. To collate and visualize this data, I relied on an app that's still in beta testing as of August 2025: DiFluid's CoffeeOS app. Photograph: Matthew Korfhage Each test involved using a wee sampling of coffee grounds, totaling one-64th of a teaspoon or less. To run the test, I spread the grounds across the white circular base of the Omni. This could be done using Omni's brush, or the device's vibration function. Both methods were recommended by DiFluid, but I found that vibration worked better for fine grinds, while coarse grinds were better off being dispersed by the brush. Then I placed the Omni's top onto the base: The top of the device has a camera whose lens faces the circular base with the coffee grounds on it. The camera captures the size of each ground, assuming the grounds are dispersed appropriately. The results weren't always perfect: It's hard to stop coffee from clumping. But they were illuminating. DiFluid's app is still in beta, so I'll wait to publish full results of particle size analysis—and in the meantime keep collecting more data. But I will offer a number of early impressions. Fellow Opus vs Baratza Encore ESP: Which Is Better? Spoiler: An app can't tell you what grinder is best. But it does help tell you which one's more precise, and it gives you insight into how each grinder develops flavor at different grind settings. And among all of the electric coffee grinders I tested, the Baratza Encore ESP proved itself to have the most precise results at very fine grinds. Courtesy of Matthew Korfhage On fine grinds, about 30 percent of the ESP's coffee grounds huddled in peak range—the most concentrated result of any electric grinder I tested. At a medium grind level, the ESP wasn't quite as tightly grouped—and there was a fair amount of coffee fines. In my experience with the ESP, these contributed more to full body than bitterness. Meanwhile the Fellow Ode Gen 2, a flat burr grinder we've long held as our favorite for drip coffee, produced a textbook-looking normal distribution at medium grinds—a mix of precision and nuance—but a flat distribution at finer grinds. Courtesy of Matthew Korfhage The biggest surprise was the Technivorm Moccamaster KM5, a flat burr grinder I hadn't tested till this past month. The Moccamaster showed quite precise results across the board—rivaling the Encore ESP at fine grinds and the Ode Gen 2 at grinding for drip. Moccamaster is a much-trusted coffee brewer brand, of course, known for its analog precision. But it's not known for grinders, and without this particle analysis I might not have clocked how well it did. Courtesy of Matthew Korfhage In fact, multiple results were surprising. The conventional wisdom is that flat burr grinders are precise, and conical burr grinders are more likely to show a balanced blend of grind sizes—and therefore bring out sweetness, depth, and chocolate. But raw data from particle analysis showed mixed results even for the same grinder, depending on the coarseness or fineness of the grind setting. And so the same grinder might evince austerity at one grind level, and sweetness at another. At coarser grinds, the Kingrinder K6 hand grinder behaves much like the Ode, with a nearly textbook bell-curve distribution surrounding a central peak—as if plucked from questionable studies about human ability. Courtesy of Matthew Korfhage Photograph: Matthew Korfhage $129 $99 (23% off) Amazon But when I dialed the K6 tighter to espresso-fine grinds, the K6's curve compressed to what looked like a slender butte: Grind sizes stayed fairly even, across a tightly compressed range. This would indicate precise and aromatic pour-over, but chocolatey espresso—maybe the best of both worlds. These results were backed up by my own taste test. But Imprecision and Variability Reign And yet, precision is relative. A surprise from this testing was the extreme variability of coffee grounds within each sample, among all grinders tested. Coffee grounds aren't one size or another: Rather, they live on a continuum. The sweet spot for brewing coffee in any given style is a window of just a few hundred microns—and yet, the standard deviation for the grinders I tested was rarely less than two hundred microns. Coffee grinders invariably spit out a range of both large and small particles. A range of coffee particle sizes isn't bad, necessarily: This can lead to balance, depth, and complicated toffee or chocolate notes. Tight particle distributions will more likely express more specific aromatics, like bright cherry or funky plum. The one universal is that you don't want too many extra tiny particles (which can lead to bitterness), or extra large boulders (which lead to muddled, muddy flavor). I had trouble getting useful results from the Omni at first. The device doesn't always differentiate between coffee grounds when they're too close together, and its base has a quite small surface area, which makes for a small sample size. Combined with the broad variability among samples, it's tough to draw helpful conclusions from any individual test—enough so that I initially thought the DiFluid Omni was a bust. Photograph: Matthew Korfhage I sent worried emails to DiFluid's customer support to this effect, and was told at first to try using smaller scoops of coffee to avoid clumping. I tried spritzing coffee beans with a tiny bit of water before grinding, to avoid static electricity. I also shook and stirred the grounds before sampling, to declump further—and tried out multiple distribution methods to spread the coffee grounds optimally across the Omni's base. But in the end, the problem wasn't clumping: It was sample size. To mitigate this, you'll need Omni's CoffeeOS app, which is still in beta but accessible through Discord. Pair your phone to the device, and the app can collate results from multiple tests to build a more robust distribution curve. By the time you conduct five or more tests pulled from the same batch of coffee grounds, patterns begin to emerge. If DiFluid Omni is still a bit fussy to get results from, it offers the best snapshot I've seen of how—and how well—an individual coffee grinder operates. Presumably, DiFluid will keep improving on its software and firmware. Meanwhile, competitors may also enter the market at an accessible price point. This'll all be good. Already, I have a brand new way to understand why my coffee tastes the way it does. Michelman, the cofounder of Sprudge, says tools like this weren't conceivable for home coffee drinkers even a couple years ago. 'These are tools that were once only the sort of thing you could imagine having access to in, like, a successful coffee bar with dough to spare,' he said. Particle size analysis was available only to 'a fraction of a fraction' of people in the coffee industry. On the one hand, a home particle size analyzer for your coffee grounds is so deep down the nerdhole it's hard to even find the exit. On the other, it's a future that would have once felt unimaginable.

Why Should Hotels Think Like Retailers And OTAs Like Media Companies
Sanjay Ghare, Founder & CEO, Vervotech (A Constellation Inc. company), Investor in Travel startups. Hotels and online travel agencies (OTAs) have for long remained in a traditional mold, with hotels offering rooms and OTAs helping them sell these rooms. But now, as travel has become increasingly digital and consumer-driven, traditional roles need to take a back seat. In my opinion, rethinking their roles through a commercial lens could help hotels and OTAs drive more loyalty and increase customer lifetime value (CLTV) as traveler journeys become more nonlinear and highly content-influenced. Let me take you through my thoughts in greater detail. The Need To Move Beyond Transactions Earlier last month, I had the opportunity to visit a beautiful property situated on the highest hill in Tamil Nadu, India. While the hotel offered spectacular views and recreational spaces, it did not significantly enhance my overall experience. Despite everything being functional, nothing felt curated or polished. I was hoping for a more local experience, more personal touches and maybe some guides to explore beyond the room. That's when it struck me that even the most stunning properties can fall short of providing a rich experience if they don't consider personalizing the guest experience—or, in simple terms, making it immersive and providing value beyond a luxury suite. All this got me thinking that if hotels thought like retailers and designed personalized journeys, based on traveler preferences and data-driven insights, they could provide a rich experience tailored to their guests' expectations. OTAs are not far behind. Today, with an abundance of automations, APIs, and tools, OTAs have access to traveler insights, and yet most stop at the bookings page. But what if they acted like media companies and engaged travelers with local experiences and culture-rich local content? Take Travelxp, for instance. Travelxp is using AI to connect discovery with action, significantly enhancing the travel experience through automation, personalization and offering everything from binge-worthy shows to personalized holiday packages, flights and hotel bookings. The company has seen a 30% increase in customer retention and a 15% boost in conversion rates for hotel and flight bookings, thanks to AI-driven initiatives. It is no longer enough to think of yourself as the service provider. Borrowing ideas from industries that have nailed the game of winning customer relationships might not be a bad idea. In fact, it might be the best one! Why Should Hoteliers Adopt A Retailer Mindset? What I mean when I say hotels should think like retailers is that they should go beyond offering rooms and focus on building loyal and lasting customer relationships through personalized offers, merchandise and promotions. While many promotional management systems (PMS) already offer these tools for analyzing pricing and demand, the secret to the retailer mindset lies in using them strategically. It's not about simply adjusting prices but aligning the offers with guest preferences—just how a retailer would tailor the storefront to suit every customer. The focus must always be on relevance, not availability. Another aspect is strategically guiding customers through all the services they offer, such as a spa, golf course, restaurant, clay shop and workshops. Think IKEA—how it has nailed the retail experience, making every visit a cherished memory for its customers. When you walk into any IKEA, you walk through the aisles of different corners of a house and the small product placements along the rows. Rooms are decorated like a movie set, with arrows lining the floors directing customers through a maze of product displays, guiding them to cover more ground and showcasing how the products would look in their own homes. You don't have to think—IKEA does it for you. You may think that you don't want to spend $100 on a Japanese-inspired kitchen counter, but hey, you can get a knife block priced at $10. And that's how IKEA makes sure you never walk out empty-handed. Personalization is the driving force behind an excellent customer experience. Like retailers, hoteliers can leverage this approach by analyzing the guest journey from hotel search to post-stay feedback. They can identify pain points to craft tailored packages and promotions that include targeted emails based on guest preferences, loyalty points based on booking history, luxury add-ons, discounts for longer stays and other personalized offerings. OTAs Have The Audience, Now They Need To Tell Better Stories Media companies have some of the most loyal followings, thanks to content that resonates with their audiences. OTAs can do this too! For instance, they can create curated travel guides for different types of travelers, such as solo travelers, couples, parents with toddlers, teenagers or groups of friends. They can showcase unique destinations and feature stories about local, guided experiences. Apart from content curation, OTAs can foster online traveler communities and traveler forums. The goal is to engage in travel discussions and increase visibility, brand awareness and, ultimately, brand loyalty. Like streaming platforms that leverage data analytics to recommend content based on our viewing preferences, OTAs should also dig into traveler analytics to personalize recommendations for destinations, budgeted accommodations or travel activities. It can also involve rewarding loyal customers with exclusive deals, discounts and priority access to new travel offers. The focus should always be on bridging the gap between travelers and their perceptions of you as a service provider. Actively engaging with your audience on social media platforms via polls, quizzes, contests and travel stories can help position your brand as a contributor to the community and foster a sense of belonging with your brand. The Lines Are Blurring—And That's Not A Bad Thing In an industry where the real value is placed not on transactions but on experience, rethinking traditional roles can make all the difference. Hotels that add value to guest experiences through tailored offerings can go from a one-time stay to a repeat preference over time. OTAs that inspire, inform and build relevance before the traveler even starts planning their travels can become more than just booking platforms. As the concept of travel evolves with time, only brands that blur boundaries, experiment and stay relevant will stand out.
