Malaysia today revealed its newest gaming hardware and software created for gamers everywhere with the thermally innovative OMEN 16 Laptop, accessible Victus 16 Laptop, and a variety of powerful updates to OMEN Gaming Hub to enable an elevated gaming experience for all.
In Asia-Pacific, gaming has become a more integral part of people’s lives. 77 per cent of gamers believe that gaming is a great way to strengthen connections with family and friends, while nine in 10 gamers reveal gaming as a source of mental wellbeing, and more than half use gaming to improve and learn new skills. Gaming is a lifestyle – a go-to source of entertainment and a way to connect and socialise, and better oneself.
