Global Brands (Pvt) Ltd has launched 13 Lenovo laptops with military-grade performance Intel 13th Edition. IdeaPad Slim, Flex, LOQ, Legion and Yoga series.
On Thursday, in the presence of Rafiqul Arwar, Managing Director of Global Brand Private Limited, an IT product importer, all new laptops were introduced to the media persons at their office at Kalabagan of the capital. But rather than announcing new products, the press conference became more focused on smart content and the role of the virtual media while they requested to make consumers aware about ‘refurbish/garbage’ IT products and raise a voice for reasonable HS code for ICT market.
The managing director of Global Band said, A lot of our imported motherboard has been stuck at Chittagong port for almost two months as the authorized department showed it as a gaming console and imposed heavy duty. But this motherboard is used to make a computer and what purpose it will be utilized is depends on users. Now it is sent to BUET. But if the motherboard is treated as a gaming item instead of the HS code, the price of the PC may go up for no reason.
Pointing out the instability of the laptop market, he further said, the import of refurbished laptops is prohibited by law. But it is now being used to collect from other countries like Dubai. These products have no after-sales service and their longevity is also very poor. That is why buyers were cheated and it makes a bad impact on our market. It also hampered our health and environment.
In the press conference, Global Brand Director Jasim Uddin Khondkar said, “We have been able to maintain business for 27 years with the help of media workers. We have been working with Lenovo for 13 years. Already made it loveable place for users. To strengthen this position, media workers will also come forward with YouTubers in the content development of the online platform. But, many people are providing prohibited products in our cultivated land. You make consumers aware of this garbage product.
Rezaul Karim Tuhin, product manager of Lenovo highlighted the special features of the laptops at the event. He said that the core of the laptops has been strengthened. Among them, games can be played with the brand mid-level new laptop LOQ. It is also good at creating video content.
Head of Channel Sales Sameer Kumar Das and General Manager Kamruzzaman and Head of Brand Communication Salim Ahmed Badal were also present at the press lunch event.
