Lenovo CEO Stabs at the iPad, ignores its own tablets of faults

Lenovo is the fastest growing PC manufacturer in the world. Chinese computer company outgrew every PC maker for the past seven quarters and now third largest PC vendor. There is no questioning of Lenovo is a major player in both desktop and mobile PCs — and soon, tablets, or so said CEO, Jan Yuanquing.

Lenovo has just announced three tablets, hundreds of ThinkTab and IdeaPad K1 along with Windows-powered IdeaPad P1. The first two just hit the market with the tab Windows, coming this fall. With these three tablets, each with a separate target demographic, Lenovo hopes the excitement before the race the tablet. Of course, means the rivalry with the iPad, CEO of Lenovo products regarded as a top level and whose price is $ 500 puts it out of reach of those in the "small cities, towns, low wages, low income class" someone should probably tell Yuanquing that's a craptastic IdeaPad is only $ 50 less.

Let's look at the full quote, courtesy of the Financial Times:

"Apple only covers the top level. With a price of $ 500 you can not go on small cities, towns, low wages, low income class. I don't want to say, we want to significantly reduce the price, and our strategy is to provide more categories to cover different market segments. "

It's hard to argue against this strategy. Different consumers want their tablets to do different things, and one product cannot cover all the bases. Lenovo IdeaPad consumer oriented K1 curvy exterior and Netflix app Prosumer ThinkPad packages strong security suite, active digitizer pen and enough straight lines on the right kind in any corner of the Bureau. IdeaPad P1 exists for consumers and companies that still need/want Windows on pills for some reason.

This multi-demographic approach is widely different from what others are doing. But this is not a good start.

IdeaPad P1 reviews started popping up. I refused to review a sample; all honeycomb tablets are essentially the same thing right now. Engadget gave it 6/10, while Joanna Stern over at ThisIsMyNext he was awarded a more honest 4.5/10. The only notable feature on consumer-oriented honeycomb tablet Netflix app but effectively countered by the cell itself and cheap to build. IdeaPad P1 likely will be several owners, but it's hard to sell at $ 449, when iPad is only $ 50 more. It's hard to understand how the Lenovo tablet, pressing the low-income population, when there are only differences in the price of $ 50.

Lenovo is hitting the Tablet market launch, but so far it's unclear if it will pay off. IdeaPad K1 — just another stale mesh tab during the remaining two thirds of the Lenovo tablet, offering businesses with tablets that replicate the functionality of a laptop. If Lenovo wants to install their tablets besides the iPad – and should – Android tablets should first prove how they improve performance and fit into the business world – this trick even the iPad is not cleared.
