World's large PC makers gear up for China fight

athloi writes: "Lenovo Group Ltd. said Friday it will sell a basic personal computer aimed at China's vast but poor rural market and priced as low as $199. Lenovo is the world's third-largest PC manufacturer, behind U.S.-based Hewlett Packard Inc. and No. 2 Dell. Who knew that Lenovo was so huge, and that it's so close to troubled Dell and wobbly HP? The "developing nations" computer wars are gonna make the US computer market seem polite and nerdly in comparison. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070803/ap_on_hi_te/ch ina_lenovo_cheap_pc"
