Lenovo Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Yang Yuanqing said there’s scant room for growth in the tablet market, and that devices running Google Inc. software -- including his company’s machines -- will keep trailing the iPad.

“Tablets will not replace the traditional” personal computer, Yang said in an interview yesterday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. “The traditional PC is changing to adapt to the customer requirements. The tablet is an extra market for some niche customers.”
