IBM's a mighty big organization and as often is, weighted down by its bureaucracy, however that doesn't automatically imply that IBM management is poor or lacking. Quite the contrary, my experience with IBM senior management is very good. My guess is that Lenovo calculated their risks well and decided that maintaining continuity is more important during the acquisition phase than turning it upside down over night.

My guess is that Lenovo will keep up IBM's good work and add more 'aggresiveness' to the formula to snatch some percents (and not to mention, margins) from their competitors.

Go Lenovo!

PLEASE KEEP THE THINKPADS!!!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/01/why-ibm-sold-its-pc-business-to-lenovo/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/01/why-ibm-sold-its-pc-business-to-lenovo/
I think I know why IBm is getting rid of this part of there business. There product is way behind the times in regards to quality & features from the competitors.

Good luck Lenovo.

2. Gateways feel like crud, run fine.
3. I don't mind my Compaq all that much, its an "Evo" model, and the closest I've seen to the IBM TP quality in terms of build, granted its new, so we'll see what happens...
4. if you want "bullit proof", well built, well engineered and thought out, get IBM. my first one I used for 5 years before tossing it due to old age(and a broken power connector, but that was totaly my fault) and my current IBM is approaching 5 years old and runs and works like its new.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/01/01/why-ibm-sold-its-pc-business-to-lenovo/http://www.engadget.com/2005/01/01/why-ibm-sold-its-pc-business-to-lenovo/Dec 19th 2005 12:09AM
