The BBC reports that:

Chinese PC maker Lenovo has agreed to buy German electronics retailer Medion in a bid to boost its market share in Europe.

Lenovo will pay $331m (£203m) for a 37% stake in the company.

Lenovo, the world's fourth-largest computer maker said it plans to acquire as much as an 80% stake in the company.

It also said it hoped that the deal would help it double its share of Germany's PC market to 14%.

I wonder if that's good or bad news for consumers?

I was put off them when I saw Woolies selling them in the toy section.

That's going back a bit.
