Lenovo Group Ltd posted its fastest pace of revenue growth in more than two years by pushing higher-priced computers and expanding its datacentre business in a stabilizing PC market. 

The world’s second-largest PC vendor reported a 69% plunge in net income to US$33mil (RM131.51mil) in the three months ended March as it grappled with rising expenses. Sales however jumped 11% to US$10.6bil (RM42.24bil), surpassing the US$9.8bil (RM39.05bil) projected and marking its first double-digit percentage increase since late 2015.
