#2This is a great idea. Allowing for two different brands to evolve with their respective markets.

#3I think Lenovo wants to be associated more with machines like the Yoga, even though the dependable ThinkPad workhorses are who brought them to the dance.

#4If I had to use a PC, I'd use a ThinkPad. This was true before Lenovo took over the branding from IBM (they were already the manufacturer from what I understand), and it's true now that Lenovo is removing their branding from it. It's a solid machine and a great brand.

Yeah, the Thinkpad brand is really one of the few in the industry that I feel is confident in its own fundamentals. It knows it is good, and it knows why it is good. Besides Apple, I can't think of any other brand in the market that I can say that about.

#6ThinkPad is amazingly solid. I had two so far and both were wonderful machine. Lenovo's service is pretty good as well. My latest laptop's Intel SSD drive went dead after a year. They shipped a replacement right the way with no question asked.

#7Think, as a brand, is over 100 years old.

I think you're reading this backwards, I think this is like Toyota splitting off Lexus into a separate, high-end brand.

I had an IBM era T43 for a while and currently have a T60 that's almost as old as Lenovo's take over of the brand, and it's still chugging along. A friend of mine recently upgraded to the t430u ultrabook and has been loving it. As far as laptops go I'm pretty sold on the thinkpad line for the foreseeable future.

#10The best they could do is ditch Thinkpad brand for their consumer grade machines (SL, R). T and X series are Thinkpads. The rest- not so much.
SL and R series "Thinkpads" are rubbish, imo. Not to mention the cheap Ideapad's- the build quality is on par with pretty much every other cheap notebook manufacturers.
