I thought the Chinese bought Lenovo from IBM about 5 years ago. I can  
tell you, from experience, that Chinese-made Dells leave a lot to be  
desired. After 4 motherboards in 2 months, I bought a Mac. They  
replaced the motherboard 3 times with used motherboards. Nothing makes  
me angrier than buying a new product, having it DOA, and having it  
replaced with a used product. Dell has done that to me 4 times now  
(three times with motherboards, one time with an entire laptop, and  
the replacement laptop looked like it had been through hell and back).  
Enough is enough.
