Throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks?
Don't forget about their foray into VR, with a Windows MR HMD. They were also an early adopter of Google's Project Tango, offering the first 3rd party device to support it. Google killed Tango within less than a year afterwards and didn't even support ARCore on their phone. ...with partners like that, who even needs competitors?
In some ways, I think this is a smaller gamble. I think MS has shown there's a real, durable market for AR, in certain industries. Whether Lenovo will be able to capitalize on this, without all of MS' clout, is another matter.
It is interesting that they made a statement about it being OS agnostic. I wonder if they ultimately have plans to support Windows on this thing, as a true, lower-cost alternative to Hololens 2.
