Lenovo is going down the tubes. Our work used to be IBM (and eventually Lenovo) laptops by the hundreds. We literally have over 2000 of them in use right now. We recently did an RFP contract to supply our laptops for the next year and Lenovo's proposal was ridiculous, coming in 10's of thousands of dollars higher than the rest while pushing consumer grade laptops with 1 year warranty (while the other companies pushed business class laptops with 1-3 year warranties).
It's a terrible plan overral. I mean, MS could enter this market losing millions of dollars just because they had the financial muscle. They also had the software muscle as well as some experience in the video games arena with their video games division.
All of which lenovo doesn't have.
Even if it's to be sold only in china I think it's a terrible idea. Developing video games has gotten more and more expensive these days, and to spend all that money only in one market seems really stupid. Unless the thing it's going to use ps1 technology that is.

China's Ministry of Culture Legislation Agenda:
1) Ban most American items
2) Copy banned items
3) Sell cheap rip offs
4) Repeat 1, 2, and 3.
