Re: Anyone else having Lenovo T61 problems?

Something also to take into account.. For quite a few years, laptop computers aren't actually made by the actual "manufacturers" and this even includes Lenovo. They do not have manufacturing facilities and rely on ODMs such as Inventech and Quanta to build the actual machines. (AFAIK, the Macbook Pro is also produced at the Quanta factory in China). RedPhoenix, The use of the Compaq name is a bit weird. True that the budget machines are sold with both the HP and Compaq names, but the high-end HP business class machines are also branded HP|Compaq. My particular notebook is an HP|Compaq NC8430. I'm happy with it, even if it rolled off the line at Inventech in China. Other notebook ODMs include Sager, Mitac, Compal and Foxconn.

Oh, and as an FYI to all the Apple fans, they don't actually manufacture anything, either. They design it, then ODMs build it.

Still, I consider the Thinkpad line among the best of the best out there. They are still very well designed, durable machines.
