This is the best summary I could come up with:
"I don't know who makes the profit," commented Che Min Tu, Lenovo senior vice president and group operations officer.
Tu further remarked that the laptop is not great from an environmental standpoint either – recycling its material won't be easy, or cheap.
Tu said Lenovo was benefitting from its "China plus one" supply chain policy and was continuing to enhance its local manufacturing capability in India.
Lenovo's sub-continental expansion could have easily gone wrong had India not paused a requirement that banned PC and server vendors who do not secure an import license.
The policy was intended to boost homemade tech and its "Made In India" campaign, but instead generated a backlash from manufacturers.
At Canalys EMEA Forum 2023 this October, another Lenovo vice president pledged the world would see AI PCs in the second half of next year and early 2025.
