Lenovo has announced the regional launch and availability of a series of new personal and gaming laptops for the region.
Hosting its Tech Life event earlier today, Lenovo displayed its finest array of products for media, partners and retailers to interact with. A maze-like structure saw attendees enter various experience zones designed to reflect the needs and desires of every person.
The ‘Think Zone’ catered to entrepreneurs and professionals on-the-go – in need of portable, yet resilient devices that can stand the test of time. ThinkPad devices were put through stress tests to reflect their durable nature. For the creatives, the ‘Yoga Zone’ offered the opportunity to observe the illustrator in action drawing his guests using the Lenovo Yoga Book C930, whilst also getting to grips with the versatile Yoga series.
In the ‘Legion Zone’, gamers got their hands on with the ultimate laptop for gaming on-the-go and were introduced to a mirror that reflected their inner superhero. Finally, a glimpse into the future of entertainment: the ‘AR & VR Zone’ transported attendees into an alternate reality, immersing themselves in all that technology has to offer.
Mohammed Hilili, General Manager Gulf, Saudi Arabia & East Africa at Lenovo commented on how technology continues to positively impact lives and provide solutions that meet the demands of consumers from all walks of life:
“The UAE remains a key market for Lenovo. The nation’s commitment towards supporting innovation is an example from which we can all learn. Technology is the driving force behind change in today’s digital age. Computing devices are no longer regarded as having one basic function – they enable us to learn, socialize, express and entertain. To meet the demands of the region, we have introduced a range of innovative solutions to suit everyone from the working parent and diligent student to the inner creative and avid gamer. We continue to see the UAE as a champion of diversity and believe our devices will empower citizens to enhance their lives, create lasting memories and express their individualities with greater ease.”
