14 DAY TRIAL // Lenovo hasn't exactly said how much better it expects its PC sales to be overall, across the whole world, but it did say how well it thought it would do in Taiwan, a capital, of sorts, for information technology.
You might not know this, but Taiwan is where many manufacturers and technology brands are based. TSMC is there, for example, the one that makes the GPUs of both AMD and NVIDIA.
Since Lenovo is a Chinese company, it's always a strong point to experience better product sales in other regions.
And with Taiwan being what it is, it is somewhat understandable that the company would specifically point it out.
So what, exactly, does Lenovo expect? The answer is this: a tripling of its PC sales on the small and medium business market.
Last time Lenovo checked, it sold 2.4 million PCs in total in Taiwan, 60% to consumers, 40% to everyone else (schools, govt. units, organizations). SMB's are 60-70% of that 40% share.
The company intends to focus its advertising acumen on this branch this year, seeking to triple the sales level. That means that shipments of desktop PCs, laptops and tablets, put together, will go up by 200% this year compared to 2013.
