If you say using another instruction set architecture means it is a copied design, does that mean all Android chipsets are copied?

agreement... we all use electrical machinery which work because of an englishman's invention of the electric generator.
sincerely, my point was that there is nothing much indigenous to loongson... i do respect the chinese companies adopting and adapting but i had a simple point to make...
Your time would be better spent starting everything and anything from scratch in India.
China is doing great as it is and is light years ahead of India.
So no thanks for your "opinion".

x86 is much worse than MIPS in terms of being a pawn of the ruling class.
I like Lenovo's Yoga series. It is a really well engineered product that can rival Apple in many ways. Bigger or larger market share is not everything, just look how Dell was 10-12 years ago and how it is doing now.
It doesn't matter whether Lenovo is using Intel/AMD chips or Microsoft's operating system. To a consumer who is buying a product, reliability and affordability are keys to success. Forcefully injecting immature technology just for the sake of invention in today's highly competitive world can be disastrous. There is nothing more frustrating than buying a hyped up product then find out the basic functions don't even work well.
Lenovo should stick to building itself a good brand name though consistently rolling out reliable products like it has been doing in the past few years. By doing so, it is not only helping itself establishing a niche in the global market, but also helping polishing the overall image of what meant to be "Made in China".

Lenovo to build 50 cloud computing hubs in China - China.org.cn
Lenovo Group Ltd will invest 300 million yuan (US$48.7 million) to build 50 cloud computing centers in China as the world's biggest personal-computer manufacturer makes its latest move to tap the booming enterprise service market.
Lenovo also aims to establish the centers in some overseas markets like the United States and Germany. It will also train more than 1,000 experts in cloud computing, data analysis and storage and backup services.
Lenovo, which just completed the US$2.1 billion acquisition of IBM's low-end server business, wants to help firms do "business transformation in cloud" through the new united end-to-end services covering both Lenovo and former IBM services. The enterprise services are expected to be adopted in all industries especially in finance, education and health care sectors, said Ye Ming, former IBM executive and now Lenovo's vice president.
"Enterprise is a core place for Lenovo to explore in its PC Plus strategy in long-term development," Ye said yesterday in Shanghai.
The new CEMS (cloud, enterprise, mobility and services) business now accounts for 15 percent of Lenovo's total revenue, up from only 3-4 percent last year, according to Ye.
In October, Lenovo's Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing said the company aims to generate a revenue of 10 billion yuan in enterprise services in the near future after acquiring IBM X86 server business.

LG Uplus to sell Huawei handsets in S. Korea
Yonhap News reports that South Korea's third largest mobile carrier LG Uplus will start to sell smartphones made by China's Huawei on Tuesday.
It will be the first South Korean telecom company to sell Chinese handsets in the local market.
Huawei's Honor 6 will be renamed as X3 in South Korea.
LG Uplus said it has yet to decide things like price and shipment for the new device.
But it is expected to come in below 500-thousand won or about 449 U.S. dollars, about half the value of the average mid to high-end smartphone in the country.
South Korean smartphone makers, including the world's leading producer Samsung, have been losing shares to Chinese startups such as Huawei and Xiaomi, who quickly emerged in recent years with their more inexpensive products.

Lenovo Just Released a New Laptop That Beats Apple’s MacBook on Basically Everything
In March, Apple announced its new MacBook, a sleek 2-pound marvel with a retina display and a single USB‑C port for both charging and peripherals. There's already been a lot of debate about whether a laptop with one port and a disappointing processor is ready for prime time, but one thing nearly every review agrees on is that the device is "a wonder of engineering." So it seems kind of important that Lenovo just casually released a competitor that is lighter, has tons of standard ports, and has a bigger screen (that can also be a touchscreen).
Lenovo first announced the LaVie Z laptop in January and promised that it would be 1.72 pounds. The company missed the mark on that a little bit, since the device is debuting at 1.87, but given that the new MacBook weighs 2.03 pounds, it's still impressive. Lenovo says that the laptop is so light because of its magnesium-lithium alloy body. (The material is about half as light as aluminum.) The LaVie Z has two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI-out port, and an SD card reader.
To pack it all in, the Lenovo laptop is thicker than the MacBook. Apple's offering is 0.52 inches at its thickest, whereas the LaVie Z is 0.67 inches at its thickest point.But still. An extra tenth of an inch for normal ports seems like a trade-off most people would be willing to make. The LaVie Z also has a 2.40GHz Intel Core i7 processor, a much more standard processor than the Intel Core M in the MacBook, which is designed for ultra-portability and is generally viewed as a negative aspect of the MacBook.
The LaVie Z also comes in two models, the more expensive of which has a touchscreen and a versatile hinge so the laptop can fold backward in half to create a tabletlike device. Apple wins on pixel density (226 pixels per inch compared with 220), but both Lenovo models have a 13.3-inch screen compared with the MacBook's 12-inches. The LaVie Z is currently shipping for $1,500 or $1,700 depending on which model you get, compared with the MacBook, which is priced at $1,300 or $1,600. (The higher-end model has a faster processor and more hard drive storage.)
Lenovo only estimates six hours of battery life for the LaVie Z (the convertible model with the touch screen may get up to nine hours), and since laptop batteries tend to perform slightly worse than what companies say, it doesn't sound like the LaVie Z's strong point is battery life. Apple estimates nine hours for its new MacBooks.
Apple's whole approach has also always been about ease-of-use and aesthetic more than hard specs, but the fact that a big Windows manufacturer is on pace with so many of the things that were supposed to make the MacBook special is significant. I also haven't tested the LaVie Z in person, so it could be a crappy computer, who knows. But one thing is clear: Even if the MacBook is a superior product, it's not way out in front like the MacBook Air was. The Lenovo LaVie Z shows that it will quickly be dogged by lightweight competitors. Apple can't bank on the MacBook the way it is.

Yup , agree with you. If you compare price/performance ratio would prefer other laptops. Every time I get a new mac book pro , am in awe for few days after that it simply fades away. I prefer alien ware though priced higher comes with higher specs and build quality.
Used to appreciate the os stability but with 10.6 it has crashed more number of times I can remember. Only saving grace is that due to SSD (and modern web browser) i am able to recover browser windows and start surfing where i left.
Come on man 10.6 is like 6 years old and 4 OS versions back.
You can upgrade for free to Yosemite.
