Logitech
Logitech, headquartered in Switzerland, is a world leader in personal peripherals and is continuing to broaden its product offering and its presence in the retail sector. This is fuelled by a trend among consumers to enhance their basic PC systems with more fully featured personal peripherals that add functionality and cordless freedom to their desktops. They are also purchasing supplementary devices designed for new applications and specific purposes such as gaming, multimedia, or audio and visual communication over the Internet. The company's products combine essential core technologies, continuing innovation, award-winning industrial design and excellent price performance.

Lenovo
Lenovo, the Chinese company, bought IBM's loss-making $10 billion PC business in 2005 with the intention of building a prominent global brand. The recent launch of the super-slim ThinkPad X300 is Lenovo's first bid for leadership in the world of laptops. Lenovo’s stated goal is to continuously develop the most inventive and best-quality products with efficiency. The X300 is prominently featured at the Beijing Olympics, where Lenovo is one of the major sponsors. The company hopes this will lead to a renewed interest in the ThinkPad range which is one of the longest lasting brands in computing, now into its 16th year, and which has sold over 30 million.
