IBM is now Lenovo. The only thing that has changed is the name. They're still assembled in Raleigh, NC. They are still the BEST...especially the T series because the T stands for the titanium case....very rugged. I use one for work everyday and it gets bumped around a LOT. I've had NO PROBLEMS with it. Of course, I AM biased since I work for IBM.

IBM sells notebook division to Lenovo


The end of the Thinkpad era?.....IBM has sold it's PC manfacturing business to the Lenovo Group, China's largest PC company for around 1.75 billion dollars. Lenovo is partially owned by the Chinese government and has a prominent market share in China. This news comes 23 years after the release of the first IBM personal computer.





Will the quality remain? Only time will tell.



Honestly, all of the people I know who have Lenovo Thinkpads love them just as much as their old IBM Thinkpads. I'm still aiming to get me a tiny X series clamshell one of these days (likely a used Lenovo X40)
