You sure about LG and Lenovo?
Lenovo were the OEMs for IBM's Thinkpads. LG still makes monitors for Dell, hard drives that are rebadged and I'm not sure of what else (they are a huge conglomerate)
Sorry to be off-topic, but can any language-nerd explain why the apostrophe is appropriate here? Is it short for "Acer is everywhere"?

Easy. It's not just Acer, it is Asus and MSI and possibly many more to come. And its not because they're doing something exceptional. The business of PC building has changed to their advantage because of two (harshly worded) trends: 1. Computers, even laptops, become commoditized and don't require much of R&D to design and produce. 2. The majority of PC sales are consumers' who, unlike business customers, prefer chea…
It's not just laptops - find a decent display for a desktop.
According to a Pixar presentation that I saw a couple of years ago, the disappearance of decent CRTs was a big concern for them.

LG does manufactures portable hard drives and has a partnership with Hitachi to manufacture internal hds. ( http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/21/lg-reveals-xd1-family-of-... )
Here is a list of Dell displays with their respective manufacturers, including LG/Philips ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dell_monitors )
