Las Vegas (CNN) -- To break out beyond the personal computer market in the U.S., Lenovo Group will need a little help from its friends. Lenovo has operated as a lone wolf in China, where the company is based, by building hardware that runs its uniquely designed software. At the International Consumer Electronics show this week, Lenovo launched a cloud service in China, similar to Apple's iCloud, that will keep all of its devices in sync. The company will take a different approach, however, when it expands in the U.S., Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing said in an interview here. "We cannot do everything by ourselves," Yuanqing said. The U.S. market is "more challenging than in China because we have to rely on somebody else's ecosystem. So we have to find the right partner here."Lenovo will not go it alone when it releases smartphones and TVs in the U.S., CEO saysThe company modified the Android mobile software for its TV in ChinaThe U.S. expansion will not come immediately, as Lenovo is focusing on PCs
_ retailers have suggested that Lenovo should price its computers $50 below competitors' comparable systems, advice the company has heeded because it hasn't achieved a strong brand in America, Yuanqing said.
