Title: Lenovo to buy Medion
Post by: Rik on Jun 02, 2011, 10:07:18
The BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13624378) reports that:

QuoteChinese PC maker Lenovo has agreed to buy German electronics retailer Medion in a bid to boost its market share in Europe.

Lenovo will pay $331m (£203m) for a 37% stake in the company.

Lenovo, the world's fourth-largest computer maker said it plans to acquire as much as an 80% stake in the company.

It also said it hoped that the deal would help it double its share of Germany's PC market to 14%.

I wonder if that's good or bad news for consumers?

I was put off them when I saw Woolies selling them in the toy section.
