What is ProLab Design?

Introduction

ProLab Design is a brand built a community of professionals, they belong to different domains like Content Creators (Videographers, Photographers, Editors and Composers), Developers, AI & Big Data Science, Medical & Bio Science. This brand is meant to provide the ultimate price to performance ratio for Professional Computer Hardware, like Cabinets (Mid-Tower, Full-Tower, Super-Tower, Rackmounts, Workstation Cases and more), Cooler (AIO Coolers & Air Coolers for HEDT CPUs), PSUs (ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1 Compliant, 80+Gold or Platinum and Cybernetics Certified) and in future Professional Esports Grade Peripherals and more.

Context

Since the starting of this millennium, when PCs became a necessity, more and more affordable brands came into the market, the high-performance PCs became a new niche; and with the rise of Esports, a good PC or gaming PC for that matter, became bragging rights for the schoolkid, leisure for the adult and a tool for a working professional. And then the dreaded Covid-19 happened! 

A new breed of content creators rose from inside the houses in self-isolation, Vlogs and Vloggers became internet sensation overnight! Not just that, indie movie makers, musicians, and streamers, they increased the market for performance PCs almost tenfold overnight. A new generation of Gamers and Content creators were born from the ashes of a global pandemic; but not just that, Work from Home, Online Classes became the new normal, and with developers sitting at home, they needed powerful PCs to run their office work online.

And then, one word changed everything! As much as we despise Skynet and nurture the conspiracy theories about a hostile takeover by cyborgs, we genuinely felt powerful with a tool like ChatGPT at our disposal, and as more and more free AI tools became available abundantly, demands rose once again for ultra-high-performance PCs, Multi Core and Multi-Threaded CPUs with NPUs (Neural Processing Units), multiple GPUs with more and more AI Tops rating became basic requirements for a developer. And we noticed a paradigm shift, as the market requirement shifted from flashy looking gaming PCs towards PCs which were on purpose built to squeeze the last bit of performance from the hardware. 

ProLab Design is built from ground up to fulfil this specific type of Hardware Requirements.

Why ProLab Design?

The national distributor for ProLab Design is Acro Engineering Company, and with distributing so many gaming brands over the year, it was an easy choice to make a new brand for the professionals, because most of the brands they have in their basket, radiate a gaming or gamer vibe & aura. So, ‘ProLab’; this signifies Experimental, yet cutting-edge features delivered to the professional; and the ‘Design’ signified this being the community driven people’s brand developed by the community itself!

What are the Product Lineup and Product Philosophies of ProLab Design?

Our future plan is to expand ProLab Design into a full-blown computer accessories and peripherals brand, and with the tagline we have ‘Precision Redefined’ you’ve guessed it right, our sole focus will be on performance, without any compromise to the product quality.

These are not something that is written in stone or something, but this is what we are planning ahead, and going forward, this timeline can (and will) change according to consumer feedback, market demand and with the arrival of newer technological advancement. In the end, what began as a simple R&D collaboration with end-users, is day by day moulding into this behemoth that is ‘ProLab Design’; and with the nature of the products that we have, the products will be initially available via E-Commerce and with our system integrator partners across India, before they are rolled into the mass computer market.
