Lenovo.

Years ago they ran a competition along with their "GoodWeird" campaign. I got high enough on the leaderboard of their little web game to win a (substantial) prize yet they refused to ever respond to me.

I don't care if ThinkPads are good, fuck them. Especially fuck their marketing team.

Yep, also their warranty is crud, and it's really hard to contact the right people. Never again.

Also the whole enabling genocide for money thing:

ETA: IBM, not Lenovo, wrong company.

That's IBM, not Lenovo

Lenovo was IBMs manufacturing arm until they separated. Age of incident is important

You're right, I got the direction of acquisition backwards, I'd thought IBM acquired Lenovo, not the other way around, my apologies. My vote is for IBM then.
