IBM's products are the time tested gold standard when it comes to the computing needs of business professionals or corporations as a whole. "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM," many say. There is a reason for this reputation; most of it relating specifically to quality and technological features that have been incorporated cleverly into the personal computers offered by IBM.
You've probably already heard of the buyout plan of this part of IBM's business to a China based system vendor called Leveno, and the gripes and forecasting made by some "industry insiders." For us, that is all just sideline chit-chat. Because, regardless of the sale, as consumers we are a bit more concerned about the products themselves. And regardless of what falls out from the Leveno deal, IBM branded personal computers will still be here for the next few years, which includes the well known ThinkPad line of notebooks. With that in mind, IBM and or Leveno are still going to have to woo us (business and general consumers alike) with what people have come to expect from the IBM name. So with that said, HotHardware will start down the road with IBM's ThinkPad R52.
