8 Fundamentals That’ll Help Your Motorcycle Business Grow

Outshining the competition in a crowded motorcycle market is no small feat, and sales can be unpredictable. However, there are certain fundamentals that you can use to increase your chances of success. With these eight fundamentals, you will gain an edge to ensure your business’ success. From optimizing your digital presence to elevating customer service, utilizing these essentials will help place your motorcycle business ahead of the pack!

1. Have a robust online presence

To ensure your business has an optimized online presence, invest in website design and development that is mobile-friendly. Keep active on social media channels to build strong customer relationships, launch digital campaigns to promote your products and services, and use analytics platforms to track performance of all of these efforts. You may also want to consider creating a blog on motorcyclist topics to increase your website’s visibility on search engines.

2. Develop an effective marketing strategy

Traditional advertising is still important, and you should use those tools when necessary. But today’s consumers are heavily influenced by digital media. That’s why your motorcycle business needs to have an effective digital marketing strategy that takes advantage of the best platforms and techniques available, such as SEO and content marketing, display advertising, email campaigns, influencer marketing and more.

3. Have a clear understanding of your target market

What kind of customer do you want to reach? Who is most likely to purchase from your business? Knowing this will help inform your other decisions about how to advertise and market, what products and services you should focus on, and more. Kids, weekend warriors and professional racers all have different wants and needs – make sure your business has a clear understanding of who each of these groups are in order to create the right messaging for them.

4. Make the product available easily

Selling your products and services online is one way to reach customers, but you should also consider making them available in stores or other physical locations. This will give your business more visibility and expand its potential customer base. You should not make people search a lot to
buy accessories for motorcycle
; instead, make sure they can find what they need easily. You can even consider offering discounts and promotions to give customers an added incentive.

5. Invest in customer service

Excellent customer service is a must for any successful business, especially ones that rely on repeat customers. Provide great support when shoppers are asking questions or have issues with their orders. Make sure your employees are friendly and knowledgeable about your products and services so they can provide the best possible experience for each person who visits your business.

6. Utilize data to make informed decisions

Data-driven decision making is essential in all aspects of running a business – from marketing, to sales, to operations – as it allows you to track progress, identify patterns and trends, create actionable insights, and more. Use the information to evaluate customer habits, determine areas for improvement and adjust your strategy accordingly.

7. Leverage on technology

Technology can help streamline operations and make daily tasks more efficient, from order fulfilment to inventory management. With the right software or apps, you’ll be able to automate processes, track performance and access comprehensive data analysis – all from one platform. Explore what options are available so you can take advantage of these technological advancements.

8. Create a loyalty program

Offering loyal customers rewards for their continued patronage is an effective way to not only keep them coming back but also encourage new customers to try out your products and services. Design a loyalty program that incentivizes users with points or discounts depending on the frequency of their purchases or other criteria that make sense for your business.

In a world where people are increasingly turning to digital platforms for their shopping needs, it’s essential that motorcycle businesses take steps to make themselves more visible and appealing. By following these 8 fundamentals – developing an effective marketing strategy, understanding your target market, making products available easily, investing in customer service, leveraging data-driven decision making technology, and creating a loyalty program – you can ensure that your business has the tools it needs to thrive.

Always remember that the motorcycle businesses need to continually evaluate their strategies and adjust them as needed in order to stay competitive.  Good luck!

Beaconhouse Malaysia Enhances Learning Experience With Chromebooks

260 Units of Chromebooks Provided To Teachers of All Beaconhouse Schools

In hopes of elevating the teaching and learning experience of both students and teachers in the classroom while staying abreast of the ever-evolving modern world, a total of 260 units of Chromebooks have been provided to all teachers of Beaconhouse Malaysia, including pre-schools as well as primary and secondary schools.

Mr Basit Humayun, the recently appointed Regional Director of Beaconhouse Southeast Asia shared, “In recent years, we have seen great technological advancements. With an increasing amount of people stepping into the digital world, we felt that it was essential for our teachers to not only keep up to date with the latest trends in the education scene but to also be trained to meet the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution while being equipped with the best tools available to engage with our students. We believe that providing our teachers with these Chromebooks is a step in the right direction to elevate our already high standards of education and be able to prepare our students to meet the challenges of the modern world.”

Many 21st-century skills are birthed by technology and its advancements. The use of technology not only allows for a wider range of materials to be accessed easily but also permits teachers to use real life examples and keep up to date with the latest learning materials available. Aside from that, it also allows students to have a higher chance of being top professionals in their chosen field, hence the reason behind this initiative.

“Educational technology has great potential to keep students more engaged in the classroom. While many may argue that the availability of technology in this day and age has its tendencies of being misused, we felt it is crucial for students to have a fresh new perspective, have exposure to current global issues and are trained to be life-long learners by teaching them the skills, knowledge, and behaviours to be responsible digital citizens in the global community. In fact, most importantly, we want our students to have fun while learning, which could help them stay motivated,” explained Mr Basit.

Having a strong interest in ensuring that no child is left behind and that their happiness is a top priority, Beaconhouse Malaysia believes that through their efforts, they would be able to continuously elevate the brand and teachers and students to greater heights.

“We look forward to witnessing and monitoring the progress these changes make to our education system and we will continuously explore ways to improve, ensuring our schools are at the top of the educational food chain,” concluded Mr Basit.

It is always tempting to use a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to students. It may be faster, and it may be easier, but it is certainly not the most effective as not all students respond in the same manner to different teaching methods.

With Beaconhouse adopting this new approach towards education, there is great potential of being more inclusive for students with different learning styles. Be it auditory learners, visual learners or tactile learners,- education at Beaconhouse Malaysia embraces students for who they are and how they consume education.


Beam Deepens Investment in Malaysia; Launches Central Warehouse in Selangor

The 8,000sqft Central Warehouse is located in Subang Jaya and will serve as a distribution, repair and hardware research centre for Beam

Asia Pacific’s largest micromobility operator, Beam Mobility, has launched its Malaysian central warehouse in Subang Jaya, Selangor to support its growing footprint in the country. The 8,000sqft central warehouse services Beam’s operations in Selangor, ensuring a steady supply of fully charged batteries and other hardware maintenance to its fleet on the ground.

In addition, it will play a crucial role in Beam’s existing warehouse network, functioning as Beam’s main distribution, repair and hardware testing hub in Malaysia, as well as the primary hub for receiving overseas shipment and dispatching spare parts to all the other Beam warehouses across Malaysia.

Beam currently operates in various cities in Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Ampang Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, Kuantan, and Langkawi, and continues to work with Malaysian cities to bring its safe and fun micromobility sharing services to different communities.

Beam employs a team of full-time staff which includes technicians and supervisors to run and operate the central warehouse. Moreover, the launch of the central warehouse provides more opportunities for workers in the gig economy as well.

“
This warehouse shows Beam’s commitment to continuous investments into Malaysia. It enables us to have an efficient supply chain for Beam’s services and continue creating job opportunities, especially in the gig economy. We look forward to continuing the expansion of our operations and serving Malaysians with dependable, alternative transport modes
,” said Justin Tiew, General Manager of Beam Mobility Malaysia.

Apart from playing a crucial role in Beam’s existing warehouse network, the new central warehouse is also expected to service an average of 30 Beam e-scooters daily. This ensures that the micromobility provider’s fleet of e-scooters in the state is constantly in tip-top condition and is safe for use. For context, each Beam e-scooter carries a host of innovative tech under its hood, which undergo regular maintenance so that maximum safety is ensured.

Each vehicle is embedded with a GPS-tracking Internet of Things (IoT) device so that Beam can keep track of each e-scooter’s systems that alert the Beam team when an e-scooter should be brought back to the warehouse for maintenance. The IoT device also enables Beam to know exactly which e-scooters need to be tended to, its exact location for pick-up, and gives them the ability to take an e-scooter “offline” via the Beam App.

Malaysia’s gig economy will also benefit from the opening of Beam’s new central warehouse, as this creates more opportunities for local talents to find jobs as Beam Rangers, the on-ground operations team who regularly patrol the streets of Klang Valley to collect, distribute, and maintain Beam’s shared e-scooters to meet ever-changing public demands and the authorities’ high standards for safety.

These efforts are part of Beam’s involvement in the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation’s (MDEC) eRezeki programme, specially designed to create more jobs in the sharing economy.

Finally, the Central Warehouse will continue to serve Beam’s commitment to its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) efforts. Should unusable parts be found during the repair works, Beam will actively source for reliable partners to have these parts safely and appropriately recycled and effectively reduce wastage.

Beam has been a certified Climate Neutral operator since 2019. However, it has pledged to take its commitment to the planet a step further by being Climate Negative by 2025 through strategic partnerships with like-minded organisations, thorough research, and upholding better practices to be kinder to the planet.


Beam Mobility Partners Malaysian Universities for Car-Free Commutes

In a bid to encourage car-free journeys among young Malaysians, Beam Mobility has partnered with several Malaysian universities to make Beam’s e-scooters available for use on various campuses across the country.

By keen interest from faculty staff and support by URBANICE Malaysia, Beam is now available in 9 universities:

Universiti Sains Malaysia Penang (USM)

Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Perak

Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Terengganu

Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Sabah

International University of Malaya-Wales (IUMW)

EduCity Iskandar

Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) Kuala Lumpur

Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS)

Universiti Malaysia Pahang

More universities are expected to adopt Beam e-scooters this year, as currently, more than 1,000 rides are being completed across Malaysian Universities daily. With Beam’s presence at these campuses, residents, students, and even teachers are now able to easily hop on and off Beam e-scooters to travel between faculty buildings, lecture halls, sports and leisure facilities, and residential suites.

“We aim to reduce the consumption of space taken up by cars by having more e-scooters on the ground, and strategically placing them in places that are convenient and accessible. E-scooters take up way less parking space than cars, and that allows us to tackle the issue of limited car-park spaces within the campus.” said Justin Tiew, General Manager of Beam Mobility Malaysia.

With Beam’s shared e-scooters placed at key locations in and around these campuses, students can ride anywhere safely in minutes without having to start a car or seek parking spaces. Moreover, at an affordable pay-as-you-go rate of RM0.60 per minute, it is a more cost-effective transport mode for students in the short and long term.

At EduCity Iskandar, Asia’s first multi-campus education city, Beam’s e-scooters are actively used by students from nine different universities across its 305-acre campus, swiftly connecting people to each of their integrated shared facilities such as the state-of-the-art sports complex (EduCity Sports Complex), an innovative social and coworking space (EduCity Hub), start-up incubation space (FastSpace), and student accommodation buildings (EduCity Village).

While this greatly improves student mobility, the e-scooter usage also reduces on-campus car dependencies and carbon emissions.

“Beam’s presence aligns with SDG efforts as an education city that supports green technology initiatives. We hope that with this new offering, our community can enjoy the ecosystem and ideal campus lifestyle that EduCity offers,” said Prof. Dr Sakina Sofia Baharom, Director of Operations for EduCity Iskandar Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

The EduCity Iskandar campus is one of seven of Beam’s growing partnerships with Malaysian universities, and the introduction of the company’s e-scooters on campus was met with great excitement and positivity among their respective students, who were very eager to use them for their commutes across their sprawling campuses.

Additionally, since December 2022, Beam was made implementation partner for the Sandbox of Sustainable Micromobility Integration and Innovation, a year-long collaboration between Universiti Teknologi Malaysia Kuala Lumpur (UTM KL), Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL), and URBANICE Malaysia. This partnership explores sustainable mobility innovations towards low carbon cities and the integration of public transport to support first and last mile connectivity.

Supporting The Car-Free Generation

The introduction of Beam’s shared e-scooters in universities is an example of the micromobility service provider’s efforts to alleviate some of the pressures of car ownership on students and young adults.

A public survey conducted by Beam involving 1,008 Malaysians found that more young Malaysians are turning away from cars due to the rising costs of ownership and increasing traffic congestion. According to Malaysia’s Department of Statistics, Malaysians spend an average of RM611 per month on transportation alone and lose almost two whole days (44 hours) every month being stuck in traffic.

These costs of time and money weigh especially heavily on a student’s shoulders and as a result, a growing number of them are looking towards alternative modes such as public transportation to help them get around.

However, taking public transport can be challenging and time consuming. First and last mile connectivity leaves much to be desired, and with most Malaysians living more than a 30-minute walk from the nearest convenient public transport connection, many default to cars for its ability to take them most of the way, in the same amount of time.

Beam’s e-scooters are able to fill these connectivity gaps with ease, turning 30-minute walks into 5–10-minute e-scooter rides, resulting in significantly reduced commute times when using public transport.

In fact, responses from Beam’s public survey indicate that Malaysians are willing adopters of shared-e-scooters, with 76% of 670 car-commuting Malaysians saying they would “definitely” or “probably” switch to a combination of e-scooters and public transportation if they had access to them. More encouragingly, 26% of respondents from this group added that they “currently own a car, but would be more likely to sell it”, if shared e-scooters were readily available.

Cyber Threat Detections Hit a Record-Breaking 146 Billion in 2022

Attacks blocked by Trend Micro in Malaysia increased 16% YoY as attack surface expands exponentially

Trend Micro Incorporated
, a global cybersecurity leader, today announced it blocked 146 billion cyber threats in 2022. It also revealed a massive 55% increase in overall threat detections and a 242% surge in blocked malicious files, as threat actors indiscriminately targeted consumers and organizations across all sectors.

Particularly in Malaysia, Trend Micro shared that:

A total of 555 million attacks were blocked in 2022, a 16% increase year-on-year from 2021.

It detected an increase of 16% in ransomware attacks in the country, up 16% from 2021.

The number of detected malware surged by 71% in 2022 to over 50 million, likely due to threat actors taking advantage of unpatched virtual private networks (VPN), connected mobile devices, and back-end cloud infrastructure brought on by the new hybrid working model.

Goh Chee Hoh, Managing Director for Trend Micro Malaysia and Nascent Countries:
 “The unrivaled breadth of Trend Micro threat intelligence* reveals 2022 as a year when threat actors went ‘all-in’ to boost profits. A surge in backdoor detections is particularly concerning in showing us their success in making landfall inside networks. To manage risk effectively across a rapidly expanding attack surface, stretched security teams need a more streamlined, platform-based approach.”

The roundup report further revealed several interesting trends for 2022 and beyond:

Ransomware groups rebranded and diversified
in a bid to address declining profits. In the future,
we expect these groups
 to move into adjacent areas that monetize initial access, such as stock fraud, business email compromise (BEC), money laundering, and cryptocurrency theft.

An 86% increase in backdoor malware detections
 reveals threat actors trying to maintain their presence inside networks for a future attack. These backdoors primarily targeted web server platform vulnerabilities.

Webshells were the top-detected malware of the year
, surging 103% on 2021 figures.

The top three MITRE ATT&CK techniques
 – a globally-accessible knowledge base of adversary tactics based on real-world observations – show us that threat actors are gaining initial access through remote services, then expanding their footprint within the environment through credential dumping to utilize valid accounts.

A record number of Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) advisories
 (1,706) for the third year in a row is the result of a rapidly expanding corporate attack surface and researcher investment in automated analysis tools, which are finding more bugs. The number of critical vulnerabilities doubled in 2022. Two out of the top three CVEs reported in 2022 were related to Log4j.

The ZDI observed an increase in failed patches
and confusing advisories
, adding extra time and money to corporate remediation efforts and exposing organizations to unnecessary cyber risk.

67% of Malaysian Organizations Think They’ll Be Breached in 2022

Trend Micro recommends that organizations adopt a platform-based approach to managing the cyber-attack surface, mitigate security skills shortages and coverage gaps, and minimize the costs associated with point solutions. This should cover the following:

Asset management –
Examine assets and determine their criticality, any potential vulnerabilities, the level of threat activity, and how much threat intelligence is being gathered from the asset.

Cloud security
 – Ensure that cloud infrastructure is configured with security in mind to prevent attackers from capitalizing on known gaps and vulnerabilities.

Proper security protocols
 – Prioritize updating software as soon as possible to minimize the exploitation of vulnerabilities. Options such as virtual patching can help organizations until vendors provide official security updates.

Attack surface visibility
 – Monitor disparate technologies and networks within the organization, as well as any security system that protects them. It may be difficult to correlate different data points from siloed sources.

Do You Follow The New Basics of Internet Security?

We’re in a
whole new age of the internet
, in case you didn’t know, defined by faster connections, interconnectivity between devices, data-collection, AI, and a range of other new and exciting new technologies. Amongst all of these developments, it can be all too easy for the safety of the user to become lost somewhere in the mix.

Here, we’re going to look at the combination of safety tips that you should be following to ensure that you’re as safe on the internet as you can be.

Viruses, spyware, and malware

While they might have seemed a lot more prevalent in the past, malware, such as viruses and spyware, are still a serious threat. The recent rash of
ransomware attacks
 should show that, for instance. As such, you should always make sure that your device is thoroughly protected with a high-quality anti-malware software.

Nowadays, there are those who will assure you that the default anti-viruses that come with devices, for instance with Windows PCs and laptops, are just as good as the premium paid services out there, and they certainly are a lot better than they used to be. What’s most important, however, is that you keep your device updated so that they’re always protected against the latest threats.

Keeping control of your accounts

Your online safety isn’t just about what does or doesn’t get on your device. Most people who use the internet on a regular basis will also have online tools and accounts that they access, use, and share data with. Whether it’s social media, shopping accounts, or otherwise, you want to make sure that would-be criminals can’t easily gain access to these accounts and one of the best ways to do that is to learn
how to set up 2 factor authentication
.

This manner of authentication requires you to make use of another device, such as your phone, or another account, such as your email, to verify that it is, indeed, you, trying to access your account. As such, stealing your password to your account wouldn’t be enough to break into it anymore. You should enable 2 factor authentication (or 2FA) wherever it’s possible.

What about password managers?

Speaking of stealing your passwords, you should also do what you can to stop that from happening, even if it’s not as world-ending an event as it might have been at one point. One way that you can do this is by using password managers that can generate and save passwords for you. The only potential issue with this is that if you don’t turn off the auto-complete, then anyone who accesses your logged-in terminal (such as your PC or laptop) may be able to log in to accounts that have passwords saved for them.

As such, you can turn off auto-complete and instead reference the password manager’s database, which should make use of a unique password that you set. In essence, you only really need to remember the password that gets you into the database. You should also do your research on which password managers you use, however, as there are some that have become somewhat notorious for
data breaches
.

Get a VPN

One of the modern tools that have become fundamental for those seeking total online security is the virtual private network or VPN. These tools use other terminals as rally points when you connect online, hiding your location and device from the sites and tools that you access. They can also protect against those looking to tap into your connection by encrypting the data that you send and receive, even on public or semi-public networks. A good VPN can help you protect your data and make sure that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands.

Be mindful of what you share

Of course, a lot of the data that criminals and other malicious actors use come directly from the people who they are trying to scam or infiltrate, themselves. For one, you should always be mindful of how much of your life and personal information, including your current location, you share on
social media
, and who is able to view that social media. You should also keep up to date on things like phishing scams to get a good idea of the latest threats and deceits out there.

Safety online should always be a priority, meaning that as technology changes, so too should you look at what new ways you should be used to secure yourself. After all, you never know what kind of threats might be lurking around the corner, too.

So lightweight and easy to transport, EcoFlow’s portable solar panels are a camping-trip must-have, keeping you powered up for longer.

Long-lasting Materials

The materials that used are strong enough to weather a storm. An IP67 waterproof membrane protects solar cells from dust, debris, and rain. On the ground while you camp. On the roof of your home. And even on top of your RV for solar charging on the move. What’s more, our 400W portable solar panels have an additional layer of fibreglass, protecting the cells from bending and damage.

220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel

More energy with a two in one bifacial design

EcoFlow’s 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel is two in one. With a 220W primary side, and a 155W side on the back for ambient light, you can capture up to 25% more solar energy and charge your portable power station even faster.

Waterproof and built to last

We have raised the bar with this panel. It’s completely water and dust-tight. Rain, wind or shine, your panel is safe with an IP68 waterproof rating. The thin, one-piece tempered glass design makes it five times tougher than comparable panels with half the thickness of traditional tempered glass. Capable of withstanding heat up to 300°F, it’s safe to say it can resist the elements.

Powerfully portable

It’s a portable solar panel designed from the ground up to be compact. 10% smaller than comparable 220W panels, it saves space with thinner tempered glass, and less surface area required for the same input.

400W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel

High Solar Output

A single portable solar panel with a unique folding design, our 400W portable solar panel combines powerful energy production with portability. To achieve a higher solar conversion efficiency of up to 23%, we use multi busbar monocrystalline cells, so you get even more energy to recharge your portable power station.

An Integrated, Self-supporting Stand

EcoFlow’s 400W portable solar panel comes complete with a protective case that doubles as a sturdy supporting stand. Simply set up your panel anywhere and conveniently adjust its angle to get the most sun possible.

Balancing Portability With Protection

Made from durable and flexible materials, the portable solar panel is perfect for off-grid living and travel. Its multi-layered design offers high impact resistance for the rugged outdoors, while its 27.5 lb light-weight means effortless carrying to a campsite. A rigid layer embedded in the carry case protects the panel from overbending when you carry or store it.

IP68 Waterproof

Our 400W portable solar panel can carry on collecting energy even during a downpour. With a protective ETFE film and a high IP resistance level of 68, the solar cells can withstand environments from humid and wet to dry and dusty.

Essential Tips for Malaysians to Safeguard Yourself and Your Family from Scams

Malaysia is seeing an increase in the number of online scams, on email, phone, messaging platforms and SMS. According to
police statistics
, scam cases have increased from 17,000 in 2020 to over 20,000 in 2021. Between January and July in 2022 alone, 12,092 cases were reported with losses of RM414.8 million.

Unfortunately, many people fall prey to scams as scammers use convincing messages, fake profiles, and phishing tactics to deceive their victims. They might ask for personal information such as passwords and verification codes, credit card details, or lure users into clicking on malicious links or downloading harmful attachments.

As scammers are convincing and persistent, it is important for us to remain vigilant and cautious. Here are some essential tips for Malaysians to stay safe from messaging scams (via SMS, messaging platforms or social media direct messages)—and to protect their friends and family.

1. Stop and think before you act

Scammers often create a false sense of urgency, tricking unsuspecting individuals into giving up sensitive information. They also use impersonation (pretending to a person or organisation you would trust) and often send fake phishing links. When you receive a text or request that looks suspicious, don’t act right away. Stop and take five before you respond, think if this an unusual request, and avoid clicking suspicious links.

2. Check if the message is from an unknown person

Received a text asking for unusual information or with an odd request? Contact the organisation or person directly for clarification and, in the meantime, avoid sending any money or sharing any personal information. If the sender is not in your contact list, some messaging platforms, like WhatsApp, give you the option to block and report the sender right away to break the cycle of scams.

3. Block and Report Suspected Accounts

Reporting suspicious messages is an important step to effectively combat scams. For instance, WhatsApp provides a convenient way to

report suspicious accounts
. WhatsApp is end-to-end-encrypted, which means no one else, not even WhatsApp, can read the messages.

It is only when you report a contact that WhatsApp receives the last five messages from the reported account, and may ban the account if it’s in violation of their Terms of Service. This ensures that messaging privacy is maintained while keeping you protected from scams.

4. Turn on two-step verification

Enabling additional security measures is another great way to keep your account secure. This includes measures such as activating two-step verification on messaging platforms like WhatsApp. T
wo step verification
 safeguards your account against phishing attacks and takeover attempts by scammers.

5. When in doubt, tap into the community

With the wide variety of scams today, it is possible that someone within your own network might have been a victim of a similar incident. An effective method to weed out scams is to seek help from communities you are active in, and not be shy about  asking your family, friends or social groups.

World’s First Dedicated AI Chip on Gaming Laptops

Launched in January 2023, the Lenovo Artificial Intelligence (LA) AI chip is the world’s first dedicated AI chip on gaming laptops, aimed at addressing gamers’ challenge in maintaining consistent and optimal system performance while playing high-demanding games. The chip powers Lenovo AI Engine+, which deploys a software machine learning algorithm, to monitor in-game framerates and tune system performance –
resulting in a smarter, more optimal system across all games,
 so gamers can focus on the gameplay experience without having to manually adjust the settings.

The Lenovo AI Engine+ runs a scenario-detection algorithm on the hardware engine which allocates wattage between CPU and GPU to optimize performance and helps minimize fan noise under gaming mode. This results in our system being
more adaptive to increase frames per second (FPS)
 in game. Offering up to
15% higher TDP
, the Lenovo AI Engine+ and the LA AI chip combo allows the new Lenovo gaming laptops
to deliver higher performance
 compared to previous generations.
