Fri - Lenovo plans assault with $400 desktop

Lenovo, the world's third largest PC producer after Dell and HP, is poised to launch a new series of cheaper and more colourful Thinkcentre desktop computers intended to extend the brand to small business buyers neglected by former owner IBM.

Prices for models in the new E-series desktops are expected to start at less than US$400 without a monitor, about US$100 less than the current cheapest Thinkcentres. They will be launched in the next two to three weeks.

Looks like another bold move by Lenovo and one which takes advantage of their potential lowest cost manufacturer opportunity. Look out Dell and HP.
