Lenovo Buys Motorola from Google: What Does it Mean? : Read more
On the surface, Lenovo getting Motorola for less than a quarter of what Google paid for it sounds like a steal (after all, are those patents really worth $9 billion?)
Lenovo's quality is actually pretty good, especially their business laptops. Not all Made in China are garbage. A lot of high quality products are made in China, iphone for example. And if you're into the audio, FiiO is actually is a real deal. It really surprises many other high-end brands.It means that I won't be buying Motorola ever again! Say NO to cheap Chinese garbage!
People said that to Japanese products in the 50s and 60s, and to Korean products in the 80s and 90s. And now it is China, who's gonna be the next?It means that I won't be buying Motorola ever again! Say NO to cheap Chinese garbage!
This deal is announced officially (even though the regulatory bodies have yet to approve it); the Nexus rumor is just something from a Russian site with absolutely no weight behind it. I don't think there is enough salt in the ocean for the kind of grain you'll need to take with that rumor.First no more Nexus and now this? We're going to get gouged on the price of smartphones in the near future!
Why couldn't they both have gotten a steal?A) They're only buying the Handset business, the set top business for around $2.5 billionB) Google always said they were in it for the patents and didn't want hardwareC) Google is going to license the patents and make much more than what they paidD) Samsung lost a $1 trillion dollar lawsuit (obviously it's still going through the courts but it's expensiveSo all in all I'd say Google's the one who got the bargain.On the surface, Lenovo getting Motorola for less than a quarter of what Google paid for it sounds like a steal (after all, are those patents really worth $9 billion?)

You can say this all you want but the fact is that when I can find an American made product for something I'm looking for, I buy it. I currently use a Galaxy S4, but had I realized that the Moto X was coming out just a short time later, I would have bought that. I really enjoy using my S4, but the fact is, I much prefer the build of the Moto X. Chinese quality surprises by not breaking. American quality shines by being better in fit and build every time.Lenovo's quality is actually pretty good, especially their business laptops. Not all Made in China are garbage.
