According to IDC Research Lenovo is the biggest PC maker in the world with a 17.3 per cent share of the market.

Good thing about these surveys, if you choose the right one it'll say whomever you want is the leader. IDC like Lenovo, Canalys say it's Apple, and Gartner seem to like HP.

Still preferred it when it wasn't "Lenovo" but "IBM".

Lenovo makes some really good ****. I bought a Y510p for $850 from their website when it would have cost me $1200 to go with any other brand with the same specs. Sorry ASUS . Sure it has itès problems like how the touchpad clicking is a little annoying and how it leaves fingerprints all over but it's a small price to pay.

Good for you. We bought a bunch of S205s for a class, just over a year old now, and the batteries are failing - I don't mean they're not as efficient as they were, I mean the laptops just turn off randomly.

That and the clips which hold the batteries in place are made of paper. As are the clips which hold the keys in place - the U450s and U350s were no better in that regard.

The ThinkPad era was something to behold, built like nothing else, but with their attack on the lower end the quality control appears to have gone through the floor.
