> Thinkpads are no longer made by IBM, so, yeah.
I've heard this line of thought repeated alot--"Thinkpads went to crap once IBM sold them to Lenovo"--but I could swear I read an article stating that the Thinkpad team went to Lenovo as well, such that the same people still work on them.

The Lenovo deal happened a long time ago. Does it matter much today what the team was like in 2004? People move on, etc. The thinkpad brand itself is quite a bit older, even.

Whether or not the team itself moved over, I believe they still use something very close to the original design and build process as the IBM ThinkPads.

I'll edit my post if I can find the source.
