In case you missed it, IBM sold their notebook and desktop line a couple of years ago.  The organization they sold it to was the Chinese company that had manufactured them for IBM.  Initially I was concerned whether the Thinkpad notebook quality would be the same.  Good news, it is!

So why Lenovo ThinkPad notebooks?  Here's one example, the ThinkPad T Series:

The ThinkPad T Series notebooks are designed to enhance productivity and change the way that you work. To begin with, they feature 14.1" and 15.4" LED backlight widescreen displays that help to lower power consumption and also offer brighter colors.

Switchable graphics -  Provision for an easy switch between Discrete and Integrated graphics processing unit which enables maximized battery life and performance.

Uncompromising performance - Combines the highest performing Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with Active Management Technology (iAMT), for enhanced notebook management and security.

Cool and quiet design - Best engineered fan technology for focused air flow which provides for cooler systems and balanced temperatures across the system. The new fan design also guarantees super quiet computing.

Outstanding battery life - New Power Management feature enables extended battery life. The Enhanced BatteryStretch feature also allows users to select the most efficient power management on demand.

In addition, the notebooks come equipped with a full range of technology that includes Solid State Drives (SSDs), an integrated camera, DDR3 memory modules, new DisplayPort technology and a wider Touchpad for improved ergonomics.

ThinkVantage® Client Security Solution with Integrated Fingerprint Reader and SmartCard support are other innovative features that give these notebooks extra protection by securing data against potential intruders.

ThinkPad notebooks are also environmentally responsible as well and can meet EPEAT Gold qualification. Then equally reassuring is the fact that T Series models enjoy worldwide, round-the-clock service and support. They also come with an industry-leading warranty, as well as optional services like ThinkPad Protection which can provide you repair and replacement services to further protect your assets.
