Lenovo Group Limited
Lenovo Group Limited is a Chinese-based multinational computer technology corporation that develops, manufactures and markets desktops and notebook personal computers, workstations, servers, storage drives, IT management software, and related services. Incorporated as Legend in Hong Kong in 1988, this later changed to Lenovo in 2003

Whats all this I hear about IBM & Lenovo?
In 2004/2005 Lenovo and IBM announce an agreement by which Lenovo will acquire IBM’s Personal Computing Division, its global PC (desktop and notebook computer) business. The acquisition forms a top-tier (third-largest) global PC leader.
With the success and expansion / growth of the IBM / Lenovo machines in 2008 IBM has announced that the company has
reached a licensing agreement with PC vendor Lenovo regarding the company's server technology, enabling Lenovo to build
single-CPU and dual CPU servers based on IBM's System X server technology.
The agreement stipulates that Lenovo will manufacture and sell Lenovo-branded servers based on the IBM technology on the small
and mid-size business market, while IBM will continue to produce and sell the same servers, but stamped with its own brand.
