Lenovo brought a new milestone in bringing game-changing devices and technologies closer to its customers and gamers when it opened to the public its first ‘Legion Concept Store’ at the 4th Floor of The Annex, SM City North EDSA, designed to support the local gaming industry.
The Legion Concept Store showcases a wide range of products from Lenovo’s Legion lineup of gaming devices, which customers and visitors can personally test and play games on as well as experience its latest technologies.
“As the gaming market grows exponentially every year, we at Lenovo would like to maintain our commitment in providing best performing and top of the line devices to the Philippines, which includes the Legion line of gaming notebooks. The exclusive Legion store was conceptualized to support the local gaming culture and provide virtually everything that a gamer needs,” said Michael Ngan, country general manager at Lenovo Philippines.
Not only a store to check out Legion latest products, it also serves as a venue in holding mini gaming tournaments to further engage the local gaming community. The Legion store at SM City North EDSA is just the first of many planned Legion Concept Stores set to open nationwide.
