Should I say new? No really,  let’s check the picture posted at Lenovo’s website and compare it with another device I was lucky enough to review:

From Lenovo’s Page Ruvo Mini Cap 7


Ultra-slim, space-saving mini PC. Fits anywhere-table, living room or even the kitchen counter. Pair it with your TV to output to larger a screen and watch videos or play games.

Lenovo used to be an IBM company that made and designed their own machine. Lately (After it was bought by a Chinese based company) I have experienced issues in their machines and now I found that they are just rebranding machines made by somebody else.

BTW, I just received a second version of the Ruvo Mini Cap 7 but this time using a different  graphic chip, it’s not using the SIS and I’m expecting to see a better performance in this one.

    Lenovo also seems to have taken a lot of styling cues from HP/Voodoo's Blackbird and Firebird gaming PCs.

  • Actually, Lenovo has always been an independant Chinese company. They bought IBM's Thinkpad brand several years ago and first released Thinkpads in conjunction with IBM but now release them independantly, with no further ties to IBM.

    Lenovo's desktops and non-Thinkpad notebook lines such as the Lenovo 3000 series, have no connection whatsoever with IBM and never have. That said, rebranding is pretty common in the netbook/nettop market (for example, the MSi Wind was rebranded by Advent in the UK, and by LG).
  • Correct, IBM never owned Lenovo. Maybe Frank is confusing Lenovo with Lexmark, which IBM did spin off when they got rid of their consumer printing business.
