Lenovo, which achieved double-digit shipment growth in the U.S. market throughout the last quarter, is expected to gain a significant share in this market. In particular, in the last quarter, it overtook Apple to take third place with a growth rate about 27% higher than the US market average.

"Furthermore, he stated, 'Lenovo will achieve a 30% share of the global PC market with new convertible and 2-in-1 products that are driving enterprise Windows 10 replacement demand and industry-leading innovation. By focusing closely on the U.S. market, Lenovo continued to achieve double-digit shipment growth and sustained market share increases, contrary to the market's downward trend. This has enabled the company to secure a solid third place in the U.S. market while maintaining strong profitability.'"
