Actually Lenovo bought PC business from IBM (I believe IBM still does support for them) http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/ibm.html Thanks for the clarification! On the note to try laptops out, I second that. A big part for me is the feel of the keyboard, that's one of the reasons I like most Lenovo's. Also the touch pad...never did like that glossy pad on the HP's.
