About the Lenovo Brand

Lenovo came about as the result of the merger of two of the most storied companies in technology and business: Legend Holdings in China and IBM’s Personal Computing Division in the United States. The merger was heralded as a watershed event in global business with the potential for integrating two disparate cultures, languages, processes and markets.

As a result, Lenovo embodies the unique market possibilities in combining the best of East and West -- joining North American and China-based technology players in the creation of a unified global PC leader with growing market positions in developed and emerging markets alike. With more than $16 billion in annual revenue, Lenovo’s market strength spans not only market geographies but also the world’s consumer and business PC markets.

Lenovo is one of the world’s largest makers of personal computers and makes the world's most innovative PCs, including the renowned ThinkPad® notebook as well as products carrying the ThinkCentre®, ThinkStation®, ThinkServer®, IdeaCentre® and IdeaPad® sub-brands.

Former Chief Executive and Co-Founder of US technology giant Apple, Steve Jobs, has passed away, the company says.  He was 56 years old, and had been suffering from pancreatic cancer since 2004, culminating in a liver transplant in 2009.  His death came one day after Apple unveiled its rather disappointing iPhone 4S model.  Steve Jobs was a major creative force in Apple, and was its public face, announcing the iPod and iPhone to the world.

Asonda Computers

Asonda Computers, run by Jamie Starbuck of Cornwall, has taken over the Comspec Dropshipping site as from the 1st of March 2009.  The site itself has been moved to a new domain at www.Asonda-Dropshipping.co.uk and will be further developed from there.Jamie and Mark (from Comspec) have worked together in the past, and know each other very well.  Since Comspec has been expanding at an alarming rate locally in Northern Ireland, it was thought that the time just was not available to develop the PC Dropshipping service in the way first envisaged.  The initial plans for increasing the range available and providing further functionality to the new site were being delayed because of local work commitments, and this was holding back the service that would have been on offer to all the Dropshipping Resellers.

So, when an agreement was reached, Asonda rebadged the site on their own domain, and immediately started the task of further developing the service.  We at Comspec took our time on deciding who would be best for the service, and Asonda were top of the list.  Their site development skills, coupled with a similar outlook regarding quality and service, made them the obvious choice.  We have complete faith in the ability of Asonda with regards to specifying and building top quality PC's, and we felt completely sure that they would offer an increased range of top-notch computers for all the Dropshipping resellers.

We'd like to wish all of our resellers and Jamie (of Asonda) prosperity and luck for the future, and we are very comfortable that Asonda will continue the devlopment of the PC Dropshipping business model in the way we envisaged.

Any existing resellers, your account has been moved to Asonda automatically, and any prospective resellers, please refer to the registration details on www.Asonda-Dropshipping.co.uk for further information.

Future developments which Asonda are currently working on include:

  • A much wider and more populated range of products
  • CSV File exports
  • Further development of forum & technical support functionality
  • More 'top range' PC's and Gamer Systems, which have been in demand for some time

Good luck all, and we are sure that Asonda PC Dropshipping will provide you with an excellent service now and into the future.

'Rock Group' (the laptop makers) go into administration

Rock specialise in high-spec laptops for the gaming sector, but have fallen into administration.

They are citing the following reasons:

  • Cashflow difficulties as a result of 'stock misappropriation' by a former employee
  • Lowering of credit limits by suppliers
  • Lack of regular supply of key components

The administrators (Deloitte) are still hopeful that they will be able to sell the business as a growing concern, but at the minute the future for Rock looks bleak.

The full story can be read HERE

Let's hope that the company can be sold, and whoever buys them realise the niche they currently have with their high-quality, high-spec laptops.
