The Lenovo store is also digitally integrated with a stage-like section for consumers to snap selfies and post them to social media using the hashtag #expressyourselfie to win a laptop.

The Lenovo retail experience is located in Reading, UK and was created in partnership with Total Media to create a retail space that is inviting, comfortable and more of a destination.
