Lenovo sees pandemic-driven PC demand persisting as profit jumps

SHANGHAI: China’s Lenovo Group Ltd said it expects strong demand for personal computers to continue until at least 2025 as the pandemic permanently changes how people live and work, after it reported a more than doubling in first-quarter profit.

The world’s biggest maker of personal computers (PC) said it was not seeing a slowdown in pandemic-driven demand, as some analysts have predicted, because many people continue to work from home while companies are purchasing more PCs as they re-open offices.
