Personal computer maker Lenovo said yesterday it plans to introduce a slew of new models targeted at consumers and that the company would mount an all-out offensive in emerging markets to push sales.

The world's fourth-largest computer maker will launch 50 new models, including 24 new desktop computers, to target the consumer segment, which was becoming increasingly important, its CEO Yang Yuanqing said yesterday.

The new models, which will cover the low, medium and high-end market, will be rolled out within the company's 2009 fiscal year, which starts this month, the CEO said.
