There are no PCs and MOBILEs anymore, and they have all been transferred to Lenovo. You must already know this. Now we mainly produce servers for the X/P system. Of course, there are also higher system Z servers in the United States. The production of servers for the /I system, and a long time ago, the company has begun to spread rumors that the servers for the Remote transmission, but it was sold in the end, so I don’t think it was groundless. Among them, X/P/Z/I are servers of four different systems. The X system is the lowest one, mainly running the server version of Windows, etc. Mainly it runs IBM's AIX, of course it can also run LINUX/Unix/, but this is controlled by a very important chip of IBM, that is, it can only run if authorized by IBM! The other two higher-end systems are not produced here, and I don't have them. Contacted! If there is anything else you want to know, I will tell you. Please add questions!

Customer Financing Provider.
Lenovo will become IBM's preferred PC supplier so that IBM can provide a variety of PC solutions to its large, medium and small business customers. The cooperation agreement also includes the establishment of a broad, long-term strategic business alliance between IBM and Lenovo - IBM will provide Lenovo with its existing team of nearly 30,000 enterprise sales experts and the ibm.com website.

JPMorgan Chase said that Lenovo's current market share in the world is only 2.2%, while IBM accounts for 5.6%, ranking behind Dell's 16.8% and HP's 15%. Lenovo acquired IBM's PC business unit and became the world's third largest PC supplier. "But it will be relatively difficult to maintain this position. In the short term, I believe Lenovo can make full use of the IBM brand. However, due to Lenovo's lack of experience in enterprise PCs and internationally, it is estimated that some large enterprises will reconsider whether to use Lenovo as their core technology supplier . In this way, some good opportunities may arise for Dell and HP. " Duane Zitzner, executive vice president of HP's personal computer department, the world's second largest PC manufacturer, said, "Lenovo has been manufacturing products in China, and suddenly it will be produced for the United States and France. Products, there will be many logistical and supply chain issues to deal with. There will be many problems to become a global company. " Michael Dell, chairman of the global PC leader Dell, believes that there are not many successful mergers and acquisitions in the computer industry. Lenovo’s acquisition of IBM’s PC division is not promising. Even Fang Xingdong, a well-known commentator in the IT industry, expressed his opinion immediately. He believes that the only space for Lenovo to survive and develop is price war. "In China, a huge emerging market, only if the price war reaches a point where Dell cannot follow up and bear it, will the space for Lenovo's survival and development really emerge."? "Although Lenovo has already entered into the noble marriage of IBM. , but Lenovo’s future lies at its own feet!” Fang Xingdong said. ------------------------------------------------In fact, for users The most critical point is this: "This transaction includes a five-year license agreement for the world-famous IBM trademark and owns the world-renowned "Think" family trademark. After completing the acquisition, Lenovo will combine the IBM brand and Lenovo The integration of leadership in China has resulted in a vast distribution and sales network spanning 160 countries around the world and broad global recognition. Lenovo will then have leading commercial notebook products, leading R&D and product differentiation capabilities, and Stronger innovation capabilities and a richer product portfolio." This means that five years after Lenovo acquires IBM's PC business, there will be no more IBM PCs, so please take the time to collect them, haha, there are still. It’s been two or three years! Personally, I think IBM’s books are really good.
