good article reminding us that Lenovo is Chinese-American-Japanese in operation. its a masterclass in how to leverage the purchases of a PC & tablet/smartphone businesses (for known product brands) to maintain & further develop the tech company. it could be stronger but doing far better than how IBM would have run it.
