History of Lenovo
Lenovo was founded in 1984 in Beijing, China, as "Legend" by a group of engineers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The company initially focused on distributing computers and developing circuit boards. By the 1990s, it had become a leading PC manufacturer in China, launching its first branded computer in 1990. In 2003, it rebranded as "Lenovo" to reflect its global ambitions.
A major milestone came in 2005 when Lenovo acquired IBM’s personal computer division, including the iconic ThinkPad brand. This move helped Lenovo establish itself as a global player in the PC industry. Over the years, it expanded its portfolio to include smartphones, tablets, data centers, and AI-driven solutions. The company also invested in research and development, enhancing its reputation for innovation.
Today, Lenovo is one of the world's largest technology companies, with operations in over 180 countries. It continues to lead in the personal computing market while expanding into emerging technologies like cloud computing, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. With a focus on sustainability and smart technology, Lenovo remains a key player in shaping the future of digital innovation.
