launch a support line for people with disabilities, similar to what HP has.
I’ve stuck to HP products simply because of the dedicated accessibility

Lenovo announced American disability rights advocate Haben Girma will be
its
first Accessibility and Inclusion Advisor. A deafblind person with a
Harvard

organisations the ways in which inclusion is an opportunity for
innovation.
This passion for inclusion aligns perfectly with Lenovo's vision – to
create
a world that delivers Smarter Technology for All and a digital future
that
is inclusive of everyone, everywhere.
As the company's Accessibility and Inclusion Advisor, Haben will be an
external consultant working with Lenovo to help the company make more
accessible, smarter technology products for all, creating greater
awareness
for the disabled community and helping promote a more inclusive society.
She will provide ongoing counsel to Lenovo's leadership and teams around
strategic initiatives, help further its commitment to diversity and
inclusion initiatives, offer guidance on inclusive product design and
development, and help it meet the needs of its diverse employee and
customer
base.
Lenovo said Haben’s expertise and unique insights will help it
accelerate
its vision for a more inclusive digital society through Smarter
Technology
for All to create better experiences and opportunities for Lenovo’s
employees, partners and customers.
