I'll be watching this one very closely since I'll be in the market for a laptop for my daughter to take to college next year. I've already decided not to buy from Dell again due to their service going into the toilet. I've been leaning strongly toward IBM, in large part because of their service reputation, but if their service is going to deteriorate under Lenovo, they won't get my business.

While any brand can experiance troubles, and have it's own set of horror stories, I'm on my second Toshiba, and I love it. We bought an HP for my Dad two years ago, and while the HP has had no problems, the quality difference between the two is noticable to me. I also like the Toshiba feature set better. I'd recommend a Toshiba ti any prospective laptop buyer.

For what it is worth, I have brought this article to the attention of my contacts within Lenovo and IBM.

In the past 4 months we have purchased about a dozen ThinkPads for various people in our company. Of these 12, 3 had to go back to the manufacturer or be replaced either upon delivery or within a month. A 25% failure rate. In the past, the saying was that nobody ever got fired for buying IBM. I guess that is not going to be true for Lenovo.

The 3 year warranty on my T30 just expired. Some months ago, the video adapter went south and I was supplied with a box in which to return the Thinkpad to IBM for service. I had it back in 3 days in perfect working order. Subsequently, I encountered a problem with the PCMCIA slot, where I could not use both a wireless adapter and a USB 2.0 adapter. Something was obviously wrong with the slot. I called and was walked through some tests and a reverting of the system by a tech person in Atlanta. After a pleasant time on the phone, she asked that I see how that worked for a while and, if I was still unable to use both cards in the slot at one time, to call again and they would send me a box. Ultimately, that is what happened and the process was repeated, where I had the laptop back in 3 days that spanned a weekend! The second servicing was post Lenovo, just a couple of weeks ago. The phone service people could not have been more polite or service-oriented (no pun here), and the technician who worked on the system enclosed a record of what was done and enclosed a card I can use if the system does not perform to MY satisfaction. Reading Ed's retelling of the poor experience of another reader gives me pause, but if I had to act based on my own experience, it would be to again buy a ThinkPad, the best laptop I have ever owned, and my second.

I am looking at buying a laptop, too, and Thinkpad was a possible contender until I read this and the below. HP/Compaq won't be making the sale, either, because of various difficulties I've heard of in recent years. Bruce Johnson, Herndon Va. (Too lazy to register on yet another bulletin board.)
