business increased its share of the Group’s total
sales to approximately 58 percent, with a 14 percent
year-on-year increase in unit shipments. The Group’s
limited participation in the entry-level segment and
the consumer market outside of China impacted its
shipment performance compared to the overall market,
resulting in a year-on-year lower market share of
approximately 7.2 percent.
During the 2008/09 fiscal year, Lenovo once again
demonstrated its leadership in notebook computing for
business users by launching a new portfolio of ThinkPad
notebooks in July 2008 based on Intel® Centrino® 2
processor technology. Lenovo also brought many of the
technologies first pioneered in the industry-acclaimed
ThinkPad X300 notebook - such as solid state drive
storage, LED backlit displays and GPS functionality -
to select models in the product line. The ThinkPad
T400 earned numerous product awards from leading
publications, including the “Editors’ Choice” award
from PC Magazine for its cutting-edge features such as
switchable graphics and delivering an unequaled typing
experience.
The Group expanded SMB addressability with the new
SL-series of ThinkPad notebooks, bringing the quality
and reliability that ThinkPad is known for to the SMB
market. The award-winning SL-series features cutting-
edge technologies, such as built-in high speed mobile
broadband connectivity, and excellent multimedia
capabilities as well as a black glossy cover for a stylish
design.
Following the debut of IdeaPad in early 2008, Lenovo
brought new colors, sizes and features to its consumer
notebook series by launching 15 models during the
2008/09 fiscal year. The new IdeaPad notebooks
were designed for style, mobility, entertainment and
