Julie Banderas the -- -- thank you so much all right -- tablets and Smartphones have taken a major bite.
Out of the personal computer market now Lenovo is fighting back the world's second biggest PC maker.
Trying to break into the tablet market with four count -- -- convertible devices they our mix.
All of a notebook computer and a touch screen tablet and a very cool to which has been playing with one.
Joining me now to discuss his company's new products is -- to hold sincerest presidents.
-- and CS I'm sorry present them.
And of those product group from -- thank you so much for being here you have four.
New products about to come out yes that's a -- normally of the companies will just -- bring out their latest part of wife war well.
One you know we're we're betting big obviously -- windows aid in this convertible product line as a way to really spark spark our business but also the other side of -- is when we looked at it.
Honestly we see that they all solve different problems.
In terms of what users are looking for an expected -- it's like a laptop but then used.
Put in the screen you can twist it.
I mean let's see there's a new twists and -- I or I I can explain I can really sure having us the best way to -- you know this is a traditional looking.
You know laptop -- very thin state of the art ultra book class laptop now okay you open it up of course it's a great laptop but what makes this product special.
There's numerous I just turn it over and I -- -- -- -- and I turned into a tablet.
So that's what makes this product really I think innovative and different.
And it provides you an ability then to not have to choose.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Attacked him quickie -- now.
The Susan says Intuit has led to leave the keyboard underneath -- -- -- into the once once you start moving the screen around the -- keyboard turns off and everything goes so it's very come from some of the other -- we have actually that they twists on the -- correct I have another product that twists on the top.
And you can actually cover the keyboard with that product and we have another product where -- disconnect.
The tablet part from the base part.
The base -- is a big battery gives you sixteen hours a battery life.
Big question what are the prices are we looking at -- -- what are these gonna cost all the products will range from you know 599 for the product that disconnect from the base up yet this which is the highest and model we have -- a 1800.
And 800 dollars or so for the other two products and it was just gonna appeal to consumers and businesses as well you know we've built one product that's a -- for a business customer obviously are thinkpad business aligns very well with that -- this other product the idea products are really aligned with consumers you'll get this product for instance investment.
We've seen sales of convertible tablets dropping off a little bit does that worry you.
You know honestly when we look at that market they're really that -- that disconnect and -- kind of model we think this level of integration is what really makes a big difference so you think people will pay the extra for the -- -- -- opposed to an apple iPad for 500 -- while you know we have released the pricing -- but if you look at say in that range it's in that range right and I think this is a very credible product from the what brings -- -- table.
You all very successful in China almost a -- -- PCs sold in China are Lenovo but there's been a struggle getting market share in the United States how important is that to you wouldn't.
Is this what you think is going to be the game change by I think if you look at the marketplace we've been growing very rapidly compared to the market in the US you know we are not 8% share in the US number four in the marketplace rapidly growing fastest of all the majors.
And we think we can continue that products like this make that possible.
What are they gonna be available.
These products this particular product amounts is with windows eight so at the end of October October the 26 specifically -- -- product as that is well on a couple more coming -- couple Muslim.
Congratulations we wish you the best of luck the very cool and -- you leave that behind for.
Cut cut cut not not publishing -- yet neither thank you so much for joining us thank you really appreciated from Apple's.
Just -- that we take the I've had a laptop conversation -- say our.
