Lenovo set to launch gaming computers

Computer maker Lenovo Group said yesterday that it plans to expand its presence in the gaming computer market by targeting serious gamers in an effort to push up sales.

Liu Jie, vice-president, Lenovo, said the company plans to release a series of new gaming computers in the next few months to win more Chinese gamers who are expected to reach 100 million by the end of this year.

"Although game players accounted for just 15 percent of China's PC users, they are more sensitive to the latest technologies and are often the opinion leaders among their families and friends," said Liu.
