IN EVERY DIRECTION
On the subway. At the office. In the elevator. At the beach. In the park. In the car. On the bus. In the bedroom. In the boardroom. Where do you have your best ideas? Wherever it may be, Lenovo believes in the power of ideas and helps you create, nurture, preserve, share and realize them. Lenovo strives to make the best engineered PCs. Innovative, reliable, beautifully-designed machines that are enjoyed and relied upon in the commercial and, increasingly, consumer marketplaces. Lenovo, itself, is the culmination of novel ideas and daring vision that have contributed to the formation and unremitting growth of a “new world” company.
