Local computer giants supply world’s largest selling computer
Guyana stands to benefit as Lenovo has become the world’s leading computer manufacturer. Last week Lenovo launched a range of hybrid devices that function as both a PC and a tablet.
Two Guyanese technology centres STARR Computers Inc. and Vishnu Panday Associates who are the authorized distributors of Lenovo will be offering these products with direct warranty from the company.

According to President of STARR Computers located on Brickdam, Mike Mohan, Lenovo, since acquiring IBM PC in 2005 has just taken over the number one position from Hewlett Packard as the world largest manufacturer of computers.
For the third quarter ending September 2012, Lenovo sold 13,767,976 computers while HP sold 13,550,761. Del edged into third position.
He said that while Apple, HP and most competitive brand PC are manufactured exclusively in China, Lenovo has factories in several countries worldwide including Germany, Mexico, China, Japan and Brazil.
A few weeks ago Lenovo opted to set up a new factory in North Carolina, USA. With this new factory, Lenovo hopes computers could reach customers within a week, or in some cases, overnight. “Made in the USA” will be a significant impact to the American and Guyanese consumer.
According to a Lenovo Executive, Peter Hortensius, “The reality is if you take Lenovo apart, you’ll see parts from everywhere. Designed in different places and built in different countries. It’s a very international, very Asia-based supply chain, no doubt about that.”
Lenovo has a strong market presence in Asia-Pacific and Europe. And, the company has been growing rapidly in the U.S. on a distribution channel expansion in recent years. The company is also trying to adapt to regional trends when building computers,” Hortensius said.
For example, in Germany and China there is a big demand for discrete graphics cards. Lenovo has also launched smart phones in countries including Russia and China.
And, according to Mike Mohan, the majority of Guyanese on the other hand, needs competitively priced computers with the maximum performance capabilities and local professional support which we provide.
