Lenovo, one of the world’s largest PC makers, said recently that it was not worried about Microsoft’s Surface tablets, as Lenovo is confident in its ability to create premium, top-of-the-line products that provide an advanced Windows experience. Microsoft will become a rival, but it will also remain a strategic partner to Lenovo.
Microsoft’s Surface tablet marks the first time the software giant has introduced an own-brand PC product. The move caused controversy among its partners, and Acer even warned Microsoft that its move may hurt the tablet ecosystem and eventually force Acer to seek other alternatives to Windows.
