Strengthening Lenovo’s commitment to the gaming industry with more exciting products, partnerships and championships

Global technology leader Lenovo continues to excite the gaming industry with its recent announcement of the latest addition to the Y-gaming series, a collaboration with Lenovo-Intel for a championship tournament and a strategic partnership with Microsoft.

The easy-to-carry and VR-ready Lenovo IdeaCentre Y710 Cube allows gamers to fully immerse themselves in the world of gaming as it is designed for portability and maximum fun. Built from the ground-up for demanding gamers who like powerful, VR-ready desktops that save on space for gaming at home, the IdeaCentre Y710 Cube is portable enough to be moved from the desk to the couch and beyond.

“It’s a great time to be a gamer nowadays. The playing experience has become more enhanced, interactive, and competitive. All thanks to video game streaming, virtual reality, and augmented reality,” said Michael Ngan, Country General Manager of Lenovo Philippines.

“Lenovo is able to provide these experiences with our premium Y-gaming series. With a wide range of products from this series, we are able to provide the best gaming arsenal that appeals to hardcore and new PC gamers, alike,” added Ngan.

Beyond its range of high-performance and highly customisable products, Lenovo also continues to bring the next level in gaming through strategic partnerships, both locally and regionally. Lenovo is partnering with Garena and Intel to bring “League of Champions” a test of skill and wits to fans and players of League of Legends, a game known as having the world’s most active competitive scene.

At the same time, Lenovo is pleased to partner with Microsoft to be platinum sponsors for Electronic Sports League One (ESL One) Genting, a Dota 2 tournament organized by the largest video game event company in the world, bringing gamers the ultimate gaming experience.

While The ’League of Champions’ and the ESL One Finals are set in Thailand, and Malaysia respectively, online competitions have been opened in various countries in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines.

Lenovo is continuing to focus on building top-notch gaming experiences for hardcore players who come from all walks of life because Lenovo understands that gaming isn’t just a pastime, but a core component of their lives.

Sporting the 6th Generation Intel Core i7 6700 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics card, the IdeaCentre Y710 Cube brings gaming to another level of immersive experiences to players, casual or professional. As with most of Lenovo devices, the Y710 Cube can be customized to meet whatever the users’ needs are.
