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.
