Go..Lenovo!

Sorry for late reply. I didn't online for a week.

"In many of the countries, Lenovo really has a limited presence, because we have often focused on corporate, rather than commercial, business," said Roman, a former senior executive at Hewlett-Packard Co (HP).

That's explain everything. Lenovo need a lot of hardwork to win common audience.

They should start by creating attractive cool mindblowing models.

The New Lenovo U300s. Nice advertising from Lenovo!

[Celebriton]

It seems the advertising is for experienced laptop users.

It talk about heat, fan noise, fast charge, long life, weight, etc. All the information only the experienced laptop users know and appreciated.

It's trying to be humble too, by letting the tricycle passing thru in one of the scene.

Lenovo overtakes Dell

One small step for Lenovo, one giant leap for the Asian PC industry? Lenovo has overtaken Dell to become the world’s second-largest PC vendor, according to shipment data in the third quarter.

The era of US dominance of the PC industry seems to be coming to an end, and Asian companies, which have been making the world’s PCs for many years now, are moving to occupy the top spots in the PC brands as well.

The change was marked by both IDC and Gartner in their latest PC market figures released on Wednesday in the US. As usual, the two research firms’ numbers differ slightly: According to IDC, Lenovo’s global market share jumped 36.1 per cent from the same period last year to 13.7 per cent, while Gartner has a 25.2 per cent year-on-year increase to 13.5 per cent market share.

That leaves China’s Lenovo second only to Hewlett-Packard – a company which has been trying to exit the PC business.

Although HP is still the uncontested leader with an 18.1 per cent global market share in the third quarter according to IDC, and still growing, the firm’s recent back-and-forth on what it wants to do with its PC unit has called the future of this trend into question.

And Lenovo is closing the gap. For the past five quarters, Lenovo has been growing faster than any other PC vendor, and despite its strong reliance on China, this growth has broadened beyond its home market to other emerging markets, Japan and Europe.

Lenovo is not alone. Asustek, the Taiwanese PC brand, which currently occupies fifth rank behind Acer, is growing almost as fast as Lenovo.
Acer itself may be in a trough right now, with a more than 20 per cent year-on-year drop in shipments in the third quarter as its netbook business got hit hard by the sudden rise of tablets. But analysts believe Acer’s suffering from inventory adjustments and a management reshuffle should be over soon, putting the company back in the game.

“With the challenges facing HP […], we see opportunity for market shares gains for its largest competitors, especially for the Asia brand PC companies, such as Lenovo, Acer and Asustek,” said Kirk Yang, head of technology hardware in Asia for Barclays Capital, in a recent note.

Lenovo is jubilant at what it sees as a new breakthrough. “Lenovo has captured incredible marketplace momentum to surpass two competitors to capture the #2 spot in worldwide PCs over the span of just two quarters,” said Yang Yuanqing, chief executive.

There is one caveat: PCs are no longer a particularly attractive industry to be in, with shrinking margins, ever-shorter product cycles and a prolonged consumer sentiment weakness right now.

Those are the reasons both HP and Dell are looking to strengthen services and other hardware fields such as servers.

Lenovo should learn from Samsung and Apple. I mean, Lenovo should have a very big RnD department like Samsung and Apple. Huawei already did it and very successful.

From what I saw, PC and mobile phone makers this day mostly are just an assembly company, they bought chipset and other components from third party companies, then assembly it and add their brand label on it. It hard to find a homegrown tech/feature and uniqueness among electronic products this day.

I guess, in the future, a company with a strong RnD department like Samsung, Google, Apple, Toyota, Microsoft, etc will dominate the future. Lenovo and other companies in China should aware about this as early as possible and adopt or even improve this RnD winning formula. Lenovo is already among world biggest tech company, they should joint the RnD superpower club.

Lenovo already has a very large research department, just like Huawei.

Lenovo's profit up 60% in Q1
(Shanghai Daily, May 24)

LENOVO Group Ltd's net profit surged nearly 60 percent in the first quarter as it tapped the robust Chinese market and lifted its market share through acquisitions overseas.

Lenovo, the world's No. 2 personal computer maker, earned US$67 million in the first quarter, up an annual 59 percent. It posted an annual 54-percent jump in revenue to US$7.5 billion. Its China revenue grew 32 percent to US$2.9 billion.

"Our fiscal year ended impressively with a strong momentum," said Lenovo's chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing in a statement yesterday.

China has surpassed the US to become the world's No. 1 PC market this year, according to Intel, the world's leading computer chip maker.

By the end of first quarter, Lenovo's share rose from 9.6 percent to a record high of 13.4 percent in the global PC market, only second to Hewlett-Packard's 18 percent, US-based research firm IDC said.

Lenovo declined to confirm industry officials' remark to Shanghai Daily that it aims to become the world's No. 1 PC maker by the end of this year. The Beijing-based firm aims to meet the target by mergers and acquisitions such as a joint venture with NEC Corp in Japan and the purchase of Germany's Medion AG.

Lenovo also launched a PC Plus strategy by diversifying from traditional PCs to the relatively high profit margin offered by the smart TV and mobile Internet business.
