Although some say that the rapid adoption of tablets has ushered in a so-called "post-PC era," Lenovo chief executive Yuanqing Yang begs to differ.
"We don't live in a post-PC world," Yang told Reuters in an interview published yesterday. "We are entering the PC-plus era."
Yang went on to tell Reuters that PCs today can't simply be boxes that come with the same basic design and only allow for computing. Instead, he believes that computers must add extra features. He pointed to Lenovo's Yoga convertible PC line, which allows users to convert their computer into a tablet. Lenovo's Twist, its Ultrabook convertible, is another example of the supposed "plus" that goes along with its PCs.
Although Yang has a vested interest in seeing PCs stay relevant -- his company is one of the largest computer vendors in the world -- tablets are starting to steal PC thunder.
