The Road To HPC And AI Profits Is Paved With Good Intentions
The Next Platform, Monday, December 1st, 2025
With a profitable PC business that has 25 percent of global shipments (thanks in large part to its acquisition of IBM's PC business two decades ago) plus a respectable smartphone business (by virtue of its Motorola acquisition), the client device business at Lenovo is finally back to where it was during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic and is consistently delivering what are decent profits for this cut-throat part of the IT sector.
We don't normally care about such things in The Next Platform, except when a client device business puts a datacenter business under pressure or, conversely, when it relieves some pressure that is on a datacenter business. At Lenovo, the latter, not the former, is true.
