(InfoWorld) - Making an effort toÂ compete with DellÂ for business users, Lenovo Group has launched a widescreen version of its ThinkPad line of notebook PCs. The ThinkPad T60 will use a 15.4-inch widescreen, yet hold its weight down to 5.1 pounds, lighter than any comparable notebook from the top five PC vendors, Lenovo said Tuesday. The company also hopes that adding this feature will regain consumers' confidence after Lenovo was forced in September toÂ recall the batteries from 526,000 ThinkPad modelsÂ -- including the T60. Like notebooks sold by competing vendors Dell, Apple Computer, and Toshiba, those computers used lithium-ion batteriesÂ manufactured by Sony, whose faulty design could lead to overheating and fire. Lenovo already sells widescreen notebooks in other product lines, such as the Z-series and 3000-series for small businesses, but this is the first widescreen model for corporate users, said Rajat Aggarwal, product marketing manager for the T-Series at Lenovo. Those customers can already chose a T60 notebook with 14- or 15-inch screen, but have recently been asking for the full widescreen version, allowing them to display more columns on an Excel spreadsheet, show multiple windows and fit better onto airplane tray tables, Aggarwal said. In another nod to high-end users, the notebook will be capable of running Microsoft's new Vista OS, with a dual-core Core 2 Duo processor from Intel and graphics card from ATI. Despite this package, Lenovo is lagging behind its rival PC vendors in delivering widescreen notebooks to the business market, analysts said. "Lenovo is playing catch-up in the widescreen game," said Samir Bhavnani, research director at Current Analysis. "Lenovo is a little late to the game because Dell's entire lineup of corporate systems is available in widescreen right now. Dell just identified a market shift before Lenovo did." Still, the product should be popular with Lenovo's core audience, the corporate user, Bhavnani said. Since acquiring IBM's notebook PC division in 2005, Lenovo has succeeded at preserving the ThinkPad brand's history of innovation, rolling out features such as the tablet PC and integrated wireless broadband. Lenovo is selling the ThinkPad T60 notebook with 15.4-inch display for $1,399 in the base model. Users can upgrade to a version that works as a laptop workstation for faster numeric computation or to run the Vista Premium OS.ADVERTISEMENTNEW IT SERVICES FROM IBM: EASIER TO BUY AND IMPLEMENTDiscover a simpler, more cost-effective way to get the solutions your company needs to grow more flexible and efficient.

(InfoWorld) - Lenovo Group Ltd. has snagged a fifth Dell Inc. executive in two weeks to help run its business in Asia. On Thursday Lenovo appointed Gerry Smith, 43, as senior vice president of its global supply chain, effective immediately. Smith was previously vice president in charge of Dell's Singapore design center and its displays unit. He replaces Liu Jun, who ran Lenovo's supply chain group for the past year and is taking a year's sabbatical, the company said. Smith is the latest in a string of executives that Lenovo has poached from Dell as it tries to beef up its PC business worldwide. Last week Lenovo appointed Dell's vice president of services for Asia-Pacific and Japan, Christopher Askew, to head a new services unit. A few days earlier it named David Schmook, a Dell vice president of marketing, to run a new business unit in Singapore that develops sales and product strategies. A week before that Lenovo hired David Miller, formerly president of Dell China, to become its president for Asia Pacific. And it named Sotaro Amano, Dell's corporate director for home and business sales in Japan, to be president of Lenovo Japan. Lenovo's president and chief executive officer, Bill Amelio, also joined the company from Dell, where he was senior vice president for Asia Pacific and Japan. Dell, in Round Rock, Texas, could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday morning. Lenovo bought IBM Corp.'s computer business in 2005, placing it third among PC makers behind Dell and Hewlett-Packard Co. It has struggled to compete since then, reporting poor financials and laying off workers. Dell has also been struggling lately, reporting a decline in profit of more than 50 percent for its most recent quarter. Separately on Thursday, Dell said it will open a new call center in the Philippines early next year to provide additional tech support for U.S. customers.
