Now that IBM is selling its PC-making business to China's largest personal computer company, Lenovo Group Ltd. for $1.25 billion, will you still recommend them?

need to check on the details of the sale. From what I have heard so far they right to use IBM name for up to 5 years. The more important point is IBM is to be contracted to provide the tech support for the PCs.

I have to wait and see what happens.  If the tech support staff, policies, and procedures stays the same then absolutely.  If they take the cheap way out then no way.
