Lenovo posts $16 million quarterly loss
The computer maker saw a growth of 1.1% in global PC shipments, which doesn't look so bad when compared to the industry-wide contraction of 3.3%. The company has reportedly achieved its largest global market share since the acquisition of IBM's PC unit in 2005. Lenovo saw sales of $1.7 billion in China, flat from a year ago, and its shipments rose 15%.
The Beijing-based company has benefited from China's robust economy, which has grown 7.9% year over year and 1.8% from the previous quarter. They still face stiff competition in the region, with HP leading the market and Acer closing in on Dell's position at number 2.

A shame considering they make good products and I love their T Series models. Wish Icould afford one.

$16 million is really nothing to a company the size of Lenovo. In fact, a pretty small loss in comparison to what other manufacturers have been posting. I expect them to be around for quite a while - they put out some of the best products around.

You are correct. Sixteen million is hardly anything in today's computer marketing world, for Lenovo. Chump change. Let us see what happens next quarter. They market a great deal to companies with large sales forces. Those stopped hiring, and reduced their field force, but they will be back in time for Christmas.
