Is Lenovo Looking To Buy MSI

Next weeks Computes Show in Taiwan which ChannelNews is attending could flush out some answers.

MSI who have an excellent gaming PC range and according to
DigiTimes the company has made several attempts to gain traction in the gaming
notebook market, with their Y50 gaming notebook and the Erazer gaming desktop.

 These products
haven’t been top-sellers, though, and haven’t scored well in reviews. Analysts
claim that putting a PC gaming division together from scratch is hard work and
that it “makes sense” for Lenovo to buy a Company that already has
traction in the gaming market.

 MSI makes a lot of
hardware components, such as motherboards and video cards, but it rarely builds
PCs that aren’t gaming notebooks.

Recently MSI was quick to embrace super-high-resolution
displays and has strong partnerships with audio component makers that give its
notebooks an edge.
