Just recently, IBM sold its PC business to Lenovo Group Limited in wake of the fierce competition. Now, it is Lenovo's turn to deal with that.
According to researcher IDC's latest report, of the 11% growth rate the global PC market at the first quarter this year, Dell and HP contributed 14% and 11% high growth level respectively. Together, these two companies have a combined market share that occupies more than one-third global market. Lenovo may have found itself standing in a battle fighting against two die-hard PC companies HP and Dell.
Coincidently, those companies together increase their investment in the procurement of Taiwan-made PC products and other related R&D resources. Dell confirmed that it will procure Taiwan-made PCs valuing more than US$10 billion this year. According to the source, HP is going to spend up to US$20 billion to purchase PCs from Taiwan, whereas Lenovo plans to allocate US$5 billion. In addition to the existing orders for PCs, Dell also places orders requesting servers, reflecting the fact that Taiwan has successfully improved its ability on design and R&D.
