Just bought a Configure To Order T500 ThinkPad. I LOVE IT!!! This replaces my older IBM ThinkPad which never gave me a problem in the 6 years I used on a daily basis in the office, at home and travelling. Never a problem and if mother board and hard drive had not finally died I would still be using :-)
As a former Lenovo employee ( my job was moved to a lower cost jurisdiction /job function consolidation - China ) I still say that the brand when transitioned from IBM to Lenovo in 2005 has not lost a beat. It is still THE BEST laptop on the market with great support and no hidden costs. When shopping for a replacement laptop I looked at HP, Dell, Acer and Apple, and not one could compare with intiial cost of features desired and installed nor extended support and service.
I have several friends who have Dell and all when questioned on their experience of pre and post purchse and support said "buyer beware" and they would never purchase Dell. Two of the individuals are MIS Directors and had in the past purchased many Dell products but even with extended service found when they needed service on average it took 4 weeks to get machine serviced and back in use. This was unacceptable for them when trying to run a business. Heard the same war stories on Apple and HP but got the most neagative reaction / response on those with Dell products. So it confirmed my initial thought to purchase a Lenovo ThinkPad. Keep up the good work Lenovo :-)
