Bigger in terms of inflated stock prices, but not by head count. Lenovo has taken the Thinkpad line down the toilet, not that IBM wouldn't have.

- vgharl 12y ago> Lenovo has taken the Thinkpad line down the toilet I think you're overstating things tremendously here. ThinkPad is alive, and from the reviews I've seen, doing well. http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/28/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon-review-2014/ http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/28/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon.... Many buyouts end with entire products being canned. I still have an IBM ThinkPad. They were good quality back then, but I really think the standard-bearer today is MacBook.
- philsnow 12y agoI don't think madengr is saying that the thinkpad line is not successful. Rather, I bet he means that the modern thinkpads do not fit in with the "thinkpad spirit". New thinkpads are just like every other manufacturer's laptops, even the X line.
