The Birth of Lenovo’s Opti Desktop PC

This is the uguliest desktop PC I’ve ever seen. Lenovo, this is a flop. Lenovo was a late commer in the desktop pc world, and I do respect their courage to take on the world, but if one can’t create then innovate.

The largest computer manufacturer in China, Lenovo dominated the market for years by selling low-cost PC clones. That was back when the company enjoyed the protection of China’s import and export laws. When China joined the World Trade Organization in 2001, Lenovo suddenly faced competition from companies such as Dell, IBM, and HP, which could compete on price and win on status. The company needed to shift from product imitation to innovation.

With that design, Dell and HP would certainly gain another few percent of the chinese desktop pc market. Beijing, We have a problem!
