Since 2004, the acquisition of IBMPC later, Lenovo will not be challenged all the time, “you must become what ThinkPad?”

5 years later, the Lenovo ThinkPad is still called the hands of the ThinkPad , but there is no longer IBM’s logo.

Lenovo has been very careful during this period did not move to the ThinkPad had major surgery, the first ThinkPad to retain the technical R & D team, another is a continuation of the style and brand ThinkPad R50 battery content.

During this period, the company launched several classic models are good, first, in 2005 Z-series, the widescreen, ThinkPad first introduced wide-screen, followed by a period of time, before gradually Lenovo X series and T series, the introduction of wide-screen product line. Need to be reminded about is that, Z series have been launched to commemorate the silver models.

A model is the best-known X300, this machine is the industry given “AIR killer.” May feel that a lot of people think is very great, but the title itself, here is the right association or other subsequent commercial launch of ultra-thin and light notebook PC makers an insult, why rush to Apple first?

Yang was a product manager’s role should preach in public about X300, indeed, this machine without sacrificing performance, functionality, where is the most powerful super-thin machine, compared to Apple’s AIR without CD-ROM, without cable interface, and so on, look too far ahead, and placing customer’s application status altogether.

Then again, Lenovo ThinkPad R50e battery，ThinkPad R51 battery towards small and medium enterprises so that desk, introduced ThinkPadSL.

This time Lenovo is very bold.

Not only introduced the red, or even more colors Lenovo ThinkPadEdge and X100e, and these products have adopted the AMD notebook PC platform AMDVISIONPro.

Imagine that there are no other manufacturers, and AMD did not cooperate, right? A careful count as if that is a Lenovo.

Prior to the end of 2009, AMD chairman and Medek’s visit to China reveals that “an important partner, will be in the notebook PC market using AMD technology products.”

At that time not to mention life and death Medek Lenovo, but the Lenovo notebook computer AMD processors, is a non-official public but has long been widely circulated story.

Go to the official Lenovo home page to see, you will find Lenovo ThinkPadEdge and X100e are very eye-catching advertising.

Edge translated a lot of meaning, which as a noun, meaning “knife, sharp; threshold; superior; strong,” and so on, as the verb of “blade; trim; encourage”, etc. On the whole, Lenovo wants to ThinkPadEdge the whole new series to prove something to the industry.

Back to the beginning of that topic, whether it spoil the Lenovo ThinkPad? Obviously, this problem is not the answer.

I could cite some data, which is Zhongguancun business notebook line on a team of investigators.

ZDC statistics show that business notebook PC market showed three major forces contesting the trend, Lenovo, HP, Dell, the three concerns of the brand accounts for more than 90%. Among them, 44.6% of Lenovo’s concern with the proportion of champion, Hewlett-Packard to be outdone, concerned about the ratio to 36.4%, the weakest of the three strong Dell, their attention to the ratio of 10.6%.

In addition, from the perspective of product focus, business notebooks have four top ten chart ThinkPad.

Finally, a conclusion is not a conclusion it:

Perhaps, even the same surname from the I (BM) rewritten as L (enovo), people’s expectations for the ThinkPad is still so high. Or that other vendors are also in business notebooks A1008，A1012，A1022，A1060，A1061 very hard, but from the well-known and so do not catch up with Lenovo.

This time, Lenovo has finally courage, introduced a variety of people in one fell swoop, “surprise”, to break the existing conventional ThinkPad new. In the end whether consumers will accept it? Then let the market speak for themselves.
