Just invite their brand chain here, competition is a healthy thing.  ;D

Dell and others are not gonna like it when Lenovo arrives either. Of course, if ya'll read the business news, Wal-Mart is going to sell computer components and "build it yourself" P/Cs. Best Buy, Fry's, and Dell and others will not like that either.

The U.S. government is already moving to block purchases of Lenovo computers by U.S. govenrment agencies as they don't trust a company partly owned by Chinas government not to do anything "sneaky".
