Lenovo Group said its newly launched self-branded product has so far met the company's expectations, and consumers are eagerly awaiting the release of another new model in April.
Lenovo, the mainland's largest information technology firm, earlier this year released the IdeaPad Y510, with a 15.4-inch widescreen panel, and the IdeaPad Y710, with a 17-inch widescreen display, to glowing reviews.
'Retail sales of the IdeaPad notebook are meeting our ambitious expectations,' said William Amelio, the president and chief executive at Lenovo.
'Following our successful launch at the beginning of January, we started selling products at several top retailers and online resellers in Europe and the United States, with positive results so far.'
The Idea-brand line is part of Lenovo's international consumer market expansion and its first global products since acquiring IBM's ThinkPad and ThinkCentre business personal computer product line in 2005.
'Our channel partners love the products. In online ratings, 95 per cent of our US customers gave the new IdeaPad products a five-star rating,' Mr Amelio said.
