Did that result in a decline in Lexar quality? It's a serious question. - Many Chinese firms bought established brand names in order to milk a cash cow and sell junk at premium prices. - Many others did so with very good products, and seem to be doing a nice job sustaining those brands and are investing in this long-term. I don't know what happened here. ThinkPads don't seem any worse under Lenovo than late IBM, and GE Appliances, if anything, went up in quality.
