February 14, 2013 ??? Manila, Philippines — official Philippine launch of messaging app LINE.
Valentine’s day is quite memorable for me this 2013. ??While couples are floating in love on their dates and romantic getaways, I was drooling and in awe of the LINE apps presented during their press conference/Philippine launch here in Manila.
Yes, it is indeed true! LINE apps are paving their way to stardom in PH as they aim to reshape networking for PCs, smartphones??and tablets running on Android, Blackberry, iOS, and Windows operating systems.
Eversince NHN corporation, Korea’s premier Internet company, first introduced LINE in 2011, the app has already surpassed the 110 million user milestone. With that status, LINE has ranked no.1 in 41 countries in the free app category.
?????????????And what’s not to love?
LINE, as the world’s leading mobile messenger app, offers local and international free messaging, voice call and group messaging. They have also integrated social network elements such as stickers, emoticons and several other really cool LINE family apps such as LINE games, LINE camera and many more.
??
??I’m really glad that LINE tapped into the Philippine market, recognized by their executive HyunBin Kang as the world’s text-messaging capital. I will not be surprised if they will soon be partnering up with talented Filipinos and Pinoy companies. ??They might discover my doodles and line it up in their sticker app (I’m in ambitious mode, yeah! Haha)
But who knows really, now that the famous mobile messenger app LINE is in the Philippine market, there are indeed tons of possibilities and opportunities not just for its users but also for its future Pinoy partners. And as knowledgeably explained by the LINE executives Jin-woo Lee and HyunBin Kang, the rapid growth of LINE shows how it is really easily loved by its users.

Lenovo Philippines launched its latest touch-optimized Idea PadZ Series laptops, the Z400 and Z500, last February 20, 2013 at E’s Bar, Shangri La Hotel in Mandaluyong City.
The IdeaPad Z400 and Z500 are thin and light laptops with 10 point multi-touch capability and is optimized for Windows 8. ??The Z Series has two types, ??the non-touch models and the touch screen models.
Ms Vicky Agorilla, Country Manager of Lenovo PH, emphasized that the Z series blends fashion, form and function to address the evolving needs of ??Filipino consumers looking for a slim, versatile and intuitive personal computer with great multimedia and multi-touch features at a competitive price point.
The Z400 and Z500 weights 2kg. which is 25% lighter compared with the standard laptops or even with Lenovo Ultrabook. ??Mr Wowie Wong, Market Development Manager of Intel PH, shared to the group very interesting details on Intel’s research and development which continuously churns out ten years’ (!) worth of R&D to the public.????The Lenovo Z series is built with a faster ??Intel’s ??Sandy Bridge Chip with 22 Nanometer (about the size of our smallest fingernail). In 2006, they have ??65 nanometer and Intel is indeed going for slimmer parts in order to support the public’s demand for slim yet high-performing laptops.
Heavy laptop users will surely appreciate the turbo-boost inside the Intel Chip where the clockspeed of the chip varies according to usage thus, saving battery power since it is not always in rev mode as found in other standard laptops.
The devices comes also with the latest NVIDIA GeForce graphics technology and with smart features like intelligent TouchPad optimized for the Windows 8 interface for easy navigation and control.
Lenovo Z Series is for Those Who Do
Lenovo Z400 Key Specifications are as follows:
Lenovo Z500 Key Specifications are as follows:
The ??IdeaPad Z Series is packaged in sleek yet sturdy laptop design with its tactile-soft touch exterior. Available colors for the Z400 are Coral Blue, Peony Pink, Dark Chocolate and Enamel White. ??The Z500 is available for the meantime in Dark Chocolate color.
I have been using a touch-screen notebook ??by Asus since January this year and I could say that having a 10-point touch screen notebook brings a lot of convenience to my work and makes multitasking way way easier. However, Lenovo’s IdeaPad Z Series boasts of high performance and capabilities that I am sure I would be looking forward to.
How Much and When?
The IdeaPad Z400 starts at P29,995 (non-touch) while the Z500 is pegged at P37,995 (non-touch). ??The most awaited touchscreen models are priced at P36,995 (Z400 i3) and P41,995(Z400 i5) and will be available by April, 2013. ??The Lenovo Ph Managers stated that they are making sure that the touchscreen models will live up to its promise that’s why final improvements and testings are being done as of the moment.
Buy, Get Freebies and Win a Party!
Lenovo has a bundle promo with every purchase of Lenovo IdeaPad Z400 and Z500. Customers will get three Lenovo computer accessories ( Lenovo headset, Lenovo speaker and Lenovo mouse). ??Furthermore, every purchase of the IdeaPad Z Series entitles the customer to 3 raffle tickets that can win a party package with 10 friends on board a ??limo ride with dinner at the Aracama Filipino Cuisine ( The Fort, Global City) and an after dinner party at Budda Bar. I bet the videos taken from the party with the new Lenovo IdeaPad will be fun to watch.
