seguro para sa IBM, di na nila kailangan pa yon, besides kahit sino pwede na gumawa ng PC.... bet ko in 4 years may ilalabas silang new product.
OR
perahin na lang ang isang hindi na kikita pa in a few years to come...

December 10th, 2004 11:01 AM #6The future is bleak in PC business I guess. Andami kasing clones na lumalabas and it's really hard for them to compete price-wise.

December 11th, 2004 05:16 AM #7hmmm...i wonder what this means for me. i've been a thinkpad loyalist ever since i had laptops (had at least 10, 3 of which i still own).
i don't like the idea of a company known for rock-bottom prices and questionable quality making and servicing my PC's from now on.

December 13th, 2004 09:53 AM #8I think it was the right decision for both....IBM thinks global...and probably they have seen that the global needs on PC is slowly declining....whereas Lenovo is a use-to-be small time reseller who now have the money...and is probably thinking of having a "brand" recognition with a reputation na....its a quick fix to get known....so eventually they'll have a better reputation (than now) and eventually also have thier market expanded.

December 13th, 2004 10:01 AM #9well... they will still remain as separate entities for a few years... what will be good is the technology transfer from IBM to Lenovo.Originally posted by M54 Powered

December 13th, 2004 11:10 AM #10AFAIK, IBM is losing a lot of money with its consumer PC division. Ok naman yung decision businesswise.

December 13th, 2004 03:11 PM #11i've read in the NY Times that IBM instead will focus on "services, software and specialized hardware technology from mainframes to microprocessors for computer game consoles, all of which promise higher profits than the fiercely competitive PC business."
it's just my opinion but there's a certain degree of uncertainty when you see an electronic item with a 'made in china' nameplate which is almost synonymous with budget-friendly but poor quality stuff. they have to address this impression first.
