Lenovo is an anomaly in the PC space. While the market as a whole has struggled with declining growth, the Chinese tech giant has grown both its sales and marketshare. In fact, according to the latest stats from Gartner, Lenovo now owns nearly 20% of the global PC market.

It’s managed to get to that position through a combination of smart acquisitions (most notably IBM’s PC division), improvements in the quality of its products, and applying the lessons from its Chinese growth to other emerging markets.
