Lenovo overtakes Dell as No. 2 PC brand

[RockyX]

Indians probably think Thermo Electron, Agilent and Shimadzu are tiny no name companies and Tata, Reliance and Wipro are big giant global brands

I don't think so Reliance, Wipro, Tata or any of your company are International brand. They are for specific country/people.

I don't use any product of Reliance but I do use Microsoft to LG, Nokia to Sony. Honda to Visa. Got my point ??

I am giving you example.

SAMSUNG or Microsoft or Apple - It covers each and every part of the world. Everyone knows and billions of users.

Whatever companies you mentioned, I heard 1st time. Half of the world don't even know about Wipro, Infy, Reliance, Tata too.

It's not about big but International brand which is used in every corner of the world.

 

[beijing consensus]

i have never heard of any indian brand.
do they even have their own compaines in india?

Yes, we don't have any International product like Microsoft or Apple or LG or Samsung which everyone knows and buys. We never claimed also.

 

[IndMaster]

I bet you also think that Applied Materials is an inferior brand to Tata, right?

I know Tata. It's famous for busting in flame and burning drivers alive.

ICBC focuses on the domestic Chinese market, yet it is the biggest bank in the world.

Top Banks in the World, ranked by market cap - December 2010

Having International brands is great, but I would prefer to focus on our own domestic market first.

 

[SinoChallenger]

white people don't use it, so its a tiny small brand. sorry.

only brands white people use are big brands for Indians.

Actually Alibaba is primarily B2B for international clients and domestic manufacturers. Taobao would be for domestic consumers.

 

[Uchiha]

HP is one? No one buys it except for their printers

Lenovo is all but dead here in the US.

So Lenovo is growing based on Chinese domestic market sales. Good for them, but irrelevant outside of China.

Lenovo is doing pretty well globally.
Global PC market shows growth in Q2; Lenovo wins globally, Apple wins in U.S.

Then by your logic, Hersheys Chocolate and Heinz Ketchup are better and more high tech than Thermo Electron, Agilent and Shimadzu. Apple is better and more high tech than Teradyne and Applied Materials.

b2b doesn't count for Indians, they think that more consumers = better brand, which means Qualcomm, Huawei and ZTE are far inferior to Apple and Heinz Ketchup.

 

[ephone]

Except Lenovo, none of them are great brands.

Why don't you ask the Europeans how Huawei, ZTE and Haier are doing???

They may not penetrate U.S. market that well yet due to U.S. policy. They are indeed great brands.

Thanks to IBM.

It had the 3rd largest share when Lenovo took over.

Starbucks is more reputable then Lenovo and Haier

You have to say IBM is just so smart by dumping thinkpad while working on its core advantage. Look at its share prices. Even buffett bought a lot of them recently.

Lenovo's success has some with thinkpad's integration. However, most of its success has nothing to do with that. Isn't two or three years ago many people attributed lenovo's financial setbacks to buying ibm's laptop division???

Thanks to IBM.

It had the 3rd largest share when Lenovo took over.
