For business notebook I’ve been toggling back and forth between IBM’s and Toshibas for most of the past 10 years. Both manufacturers have always come out with machines that have exceeded expectations at our price point of $1000. Typically the decision would boil down to who was running a promotion at the time and what kind of schwag I could get out of the deal
When Lenovo took over IBM’s notebook look I was very worried. I’ve always had durability issues with HP’s and Sony’s when given to non-tech users and was realy worried I’d have to start exploring those lines again to keep my prices in line.
Of course I didn’t abandon the ThinkPad line just because Lenovo took over. The price was right so I took a chance. I’m happy to say that now that I’m on my 3rd line of Lenovo ThinkPads I’m extreamly satisfied. The products reputation is rock solid in my book and though I never tought it was possible, Lenovo’s service is the best I’ve ever experienced!
When I call for tech support, the troubleshooter is never afraid of deviating from the scripts. Once they understand I’m an I.T. person we quickly cut to the chase. If I say I have a bad keyboard, they simply ship me one and not ask me if the machine is plugged into the wall.
The model pictured is my latest purchase, R61i. My only complaint is having to remove much of the pre-loaded software for my applications.
