Neo introduces Elan Series gaming notebooks for Pinoy gamers

Local PC brand Neo introduces Elan Series, its latest line-up of gaming notebooks targeting the local gaming population, which already number to a whopping 9.5 million Filipinos, according to a survey.
Boasting of high performing latest Intel processors and NVDIA graphics, the Neo Elan Series are especially developed to cater to Filipino gamers, who can now have access to affordable but powerful mobile gaming PCs that they can easily bring with them anywhere.
The NEO Elan Series already come bundled with Windows 8 OS but the more affordable models are installed with Linux. The new notebooks are sold through Neo’s primary channel partners Octagon, PC Corner and PC Express.
Neo entered the local PC market in 2003, when it partnered with PLDT to provide desktops to clients of PLDT that availed of DSL packages. The year after, it began producing notebooks. Today, Neo maintains four notebook product lines: Basic (notebooks with basic specs), Vivid (notebooks with colors and nice designs), Edge (ultrabooks) and Elan (gaming notebooks).
As a gaming notebook producer, NEO this year demonstrates its full support on eSports by partnering with three well-known entities in the gaming industry, namely: Blizzard, Level Up! and Mineski.

As early as February, NEO announced its sponsorship with the best Starcraft II team from Mineski. On top of this, NEO hypes the latest addition to its powerful Elan Series by bundling Starcraft II game pack.

NEO extends its support on eSports with its partnership with Level Up!. Elan notebooks to be used and experienced by competitive players on selected Level Up! tournaments is a part of the partnership.
