Counterfeit products are replicas of the real products, designed to take advantage of the superior value and reputation of the real product. Fake products are products that do not exist in the manufacturer's product line, but are represented as the authentic branded product.
Unlike genuine products, counterfeit products and accessories may not meet government and industry safety standards.
Consumers have reported that a Lenovo Tablet Model Y1011 is being sold on the internet. Lenovo has confirmed that this product does NOT exist in the Lenovo product line -- it is a fake.
Consumers should be wary of purchasing Lenovo products from unauthorized retailers and internet vendors. Often poor quality counterfeit products are substituted for the listed products under the guise of being "the China version" of the product.

Lenovo is proud of its brand and reputation.
Authentic Lenovo products will be clearly labeled with the trademarked Lenovo brand.
