I LOVE Lenovo. Maybe it's the fact that I LOVE my ThinkPad T60, or the fact that Lenovo folks have great blogs... or maybe even that all their little applications share the same start menu shortcut and grouping and icons. I can't think of any other PC OEM that has employees that blog about their hardware. I find it especially cool. You can tell from their posts that they love their product and they are proud of what they do and who they work for. That makes me feel better about my ThinkPad. They are also honest about things like Crapware.

Having just read their anniversary post on the Lenovo 3000 series I'm inclined to get the J115 for my parents. I'm also inclined to tell my sister to ditch getting the Sony Vaio and get a 3000 series laptop.

You know since giving up on a Mac Laptop years ago, I've owned two Sony's, one Compaq, two Toshiba's, a Dell and a Fujitsu. Lenovo is far and away the better laptop. My Dell had it's motherboard replaced 5 times.

I'm so happy the ThinkPads are available at Microsoft now (sanctioned by our IT department).

Oh, the best idea I've heard in a while is mentioned on the Happy Birthday Lenovo 3000 series. Replace the stupid S-Video port on laptops with an HDMI port. That would at least keep me from going crazy that all PC laptops still have VGA and not DVI on board. If you replace s-video with HDMI then you get the best of both worlds: VGA for legacy compatibility and projectors, and HDMI for digital video out.

I hope some one takes that idea and runs with it.
