  So far, still OK. If Lenovo breaks IBM brand name, I don't think IBM will be happy.

  what abt waranty and such stuff....

  Warranty isn't very attractive, but I can say they last long despite the unattractive warranty. You can pay more for the warranty if you really want to calm your mind..

  Must be one of the unlucky ones. Out of so many Lenovo/IBM users I know, you are one of the few that has problems. Two of my friends have the same problem too.

  Lenovo is parent of IBM? if that's the case i tink it would be a good choice for notebooks, steering away from the boring outlook of IBM

  parent company does not mean necessarily good...

  i dun think Lenovo is parent of IBM.
  
  Lenovo was the maker of IBM thinkpads
  
  but IBM sold their thinkpad arm to lenovo.
  
  thus selling it as Lenovo Thinkpads.
  
  Lenovo 3000 series are Lenovo's own products.
  
  Lenovo Thinkpads are IBM's line... famed for its reliability.

  To pay extra to buy Lenovo/IBM Thinkpads? Or to save money to buy others...? Hmm...

  if u ask me, i will tell u dat IBM thinkpad has so many uneccesary software like wad software encryption la, data protect la blah blah blah. my fren had one and he complained lagged. and wad i think is all those software are running in the background, causing all those performance related problem.
  
  lenovo thinkpad's laptop arent for gaming. and i am sure a student will not need those high tech data protection, data encryption software.

  But ThinkPads are really lasting.
  
  I still have my Pentium 1 ThinkPad, it is still working, I don't know what to do with it.
  
  Then my second lappie was a Asus, it crashed beyond repair and I have literaly thrown it away.
  
  Now I'm using my third lappie - ThinkPad T41... 3yrs plus liao... very happy with it...

  Thinkpads are geared towards businesses, not students, thus it makes not much sense buying Thinkpads, especially students. Unless you are up to no good.
