IBM sold it's PC business a long time ago and what are you doing up so early in the morning?

For most of the 1990s and early 2000s, IBM had a strong PC business, and the ThinkPad was the anchor of its portable personal computer line. However, by 2004 IBM's business had changed, and it was interested in getting out of the PC hardware business. So on May 1, 2005, IBM sold this business to Lenovo and over the last 10 years Lenovo has become the No. 1 PC player in the world.
Not to mention that it is a Chinese company

Quote:
There was an initial hiccup when the U.S. government challenged the idea that a Chinese company would have access to U.S. technology, particularly via IBM's U.S. government contracts. It took awhile but it got various governemnt approvals, and within a year the integration of IBM's PC business into Lenovo was in full swing.
