[Edit this paragraph] With the company history of 198 1 year, IBM envisions developing computing power at a new level-personal level, thus expanding the potential and productivity of information technology from mainframes to people's homes and work. 198 1 12 In August, IBM officially released the first PC in history. Since then, mankind has entered the era of personal computers. 1992 A legendary and resounding brand-ThinkPad was born! In the past 26 years, IBM's personal computer department has been developing and innovating in the field of personal computing. Among them, ThinkVantage technology (TVT), as an important supporting part of Think strategy, has played an important role. The goal of TVT technology is to make PC products under Think brand have the ability of self-monitoring, self-configuration, self-optimization and self-recovery, so as to minimize the total cost of ownership of users' PCs and ultimately help customers win commercial success. 10 in 1984, in the east of the world,10 China computer scientists and technicians headed by Liu Chuanzhi realized that PC would definitely change people's work and life. With a start-up capital of 200,000 yuan (US$ 25,000) and a firm determination to turn research and development achievements into successful products, the 1 1 researchers started their business in a rented communication room in Beijing. This young company was named Lenovo. During the development of the company, Lenovo was brave in innovation and made many major technological breakthroughs, including the successful development of Lenovo Hanka, which can translate English operating system into Chinese, the development of a one-click personal computer, and the introduction of completely innovative related application technologies in 2003, thus establishing Lenovo's important position in the 3C era.

When Lenovo entered the international market, "Lenovo" became a stumbling block, and Lenovo changed its name to "Lenovo", which became the first step to enter the international market, symbolizing Lenovo's transformation from "Lenovo" to "innovation". When Lenovo planned to go international in 200 1, it found that "Lenovo" was a stumbling block to overseas expansion. Li Lan, assistant president of Lenovo Group, said that the name "Lenovo" has been registered in almost all countries in Europe, covering computers, food, automobiles and other fields. Yang, president of lenovo, said that "novo" is a Latin root, which stands for "new ideas", and "Le" is taken from the original "legend" and inherits the meaning of "legend". The whole word means "innovative association". The report pointed out that it is necessary to create "legends" to fight for the country, and it is necessary to constantly "innovate" if the foundation is evergreen. From legend to Lenovo, in the process of brand logo change, Liu Chuanzhi is particularly satisfied with the coincidence in the transformation of logo meaning. Today, these two companies with the same dream join hands in the name of Lenovo.
