gizmola Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Are lenovo laptops as good as IBM was? http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/mobile/display/20100520102900_Lenovo_ThinkPad_Laptops_Lead_in_Quality_and_Reliability_Rankings.html Speaks for itself, however, I should point out that many people buy refurbs/factory seconds at low prices, and these are not necessarily going to be as good.

xylex Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Lenovo's been making IBM laptops since 2004. Are you comparing them to themselves or do you mean 8 year old IBM laptops? The biggest difference is that the Lenovo brand label has twice as many letters as the IBM logo, so this could provide additional protection to the laptop case.

Philip Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 to buy one laptop. So why are you comparing an old(ish) brand to an updated brand... instead of comparing current brands? Seems kinda pointless IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 to buy one laptop. I gave you a link to a recent article on Lenovo quality rankings. What the quality of Thinkpads were 8 years ago is irrrelevant.. technology has been revised 6 generations since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug G Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I suspect the interest is if there is any quality drop/improvement/change after Lenovo bought out IBM. IBM has a very long track record and Lenovo not so long, so it's pertinent to ask imho. Everything I've seen says Lenovo has maintained the excellent quality that IBM branded machines offered, but I haven't every used them myself.
