Lenovo eyes SMEs with ThinkPad Tablet

Lenovo Malaysia plans to market its ThinkPad Tablet to the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment as it is confident the product can help increase their productivity and efficiency, according to The Star Online.

“We are confident with this tablet based on customers' feedback as well as the progress in the communication technology, which is moving beyond the desktop.

“This tablet has helped the SMBs to manage their business and social lives on the go,” marketing communications manager, Ho Carrie, says.

Lenovo on Monday marked the 20th anniversary of its ThinkPad product, which was first developed under IBM, but then acquired by the Chinese PC maker in 2005, PC World reports.

At a company-sponsored event, executives touted the release of the latest ThinkPad product, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The 14-inch notebook, which has an eight-hour battery life and weighs 1.36kg, will be released later this month at around $1 299.

Last month, Gartner said user infatuation with tablets and smartphones continues to hammer the PC market, writes PC Advisor.

Industry analysts suspect that these numbers pushed Lenovo to come out with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, part of an ultrabook category of thin, light, high-performing Intel-powered laptops.
