Lenovo clarified: Did not give up sales in the United States small screen windows flat

Lenovo has issued a statement clarifying previous media misreading, saying the company will continue to sell a Windows tablet computer with a 10-inch screen in the U.S. market. This is good news for Microsoft's product line, but such devices will still face a daunting challenge from cheaper Android Tablet PCs. In Thursday, Lenovo said it had stopped selling two Windows 8.1 tablets, 8-inch screens in the United States, selling $400 in ThinkPad 8 and $300 for Miix 2. "We found that North American consumers were more interested in big-screen windows and were delighted with the initial customer needs of the ThinkPad 10," Raymond Gorman, Lenovo spokeswoman, Raymond Golman. "In other markets, especially in Brazil, China and Japan, the ThinkPad 8 is much higher, so we are tweaking the ThinkPad 8 inventory to meet the growing demand in these markets," Mr. Gorman said. If the market demand for the ThinkPad 8 changes, we will reassess the sales strategy. About the 8-inch Miix 2 tablet, Lenovo did not explain why it was discontinued in the United States. Lenovo's 10 Tablet PC and 10.1-inch version of Miix 2 's U.S. strategy has not changed. But two days later, Lenovo posted an article on the official website, saying it was still working on different sizes of tablets and would launch a new 8-inch tablet during the Christmas holiday. "Our portfolio will be adjusted for changes in user needs, even though we stopped selling the ThinkPad 8 in the US and sold out 8-inch Miix tablets, but we won't exit the small screen Windows tablet market as previously reported," the statement said. In short, we continue to sell 8-inch and 10-inch windows tablets in markets outside the US and the US. In other words, Lenovo's 8-inch Windows Tablet PC exit from the U.S. market is only temporary, not a permanent withdrawal. But for Lenovo, and for all the tablet makers, they are still puzzled by how small-screen windows tablets attract consumers, because some 7-inch Android tablets are priced at less than 200 dollars. Lenovo's ThinkPad 8 is priced at $400, and the 8-inch Miix 2 is priced at $300. By contrast, the second generation of Nexus, which carries the Android operating system, is priced at $280 for $7.
