Basically my Office use Lenovo Think Pads or Asus U Series (UL80's mostly) with little of no problems. The Lenovo's have kept the IBM relability but the Asus also has really great battery life (power management). We been down the Dell path (Service is shite), Compaq (cheap but not chearful), HP (Ok but not the value you get from Asus) etc.
If your a Web surfer you can get away with a Tablet BUT if you write lots of Emails & long winded posts(sic) your better off with a Notebook Laptop. IMHO

I'm very happy with my ASUS laptop, also DELL has good laptops.
Having used a half dozen laptop brands personally (Compaq, HP, Acer, Dell, Apple & Lenovo), the only brand of laptop I'd never touch again is Dell. This comes from my personal experience, my friends, my family, and hundreds of failed laptops my company had to have replaced on Dell's dime. Even with corporate warranty coverage it was insane to suffer such a huge (30%) failure rate.

I would assume that with Lenova being totally owned by the Chinese that all of their products are controlled by them. Lenova has a good reputation, and is slowly gaining market share everywhere. If they were trying to gain market share from IBM's reputation, they wouldn't be branding the Lenova name so heavily. They don't really make any inference to IBM in any of their marketing.
Lenovo doesn't mention IBM anymore because they were only allowed to use the name for a limited time (two years) as per their contract with IBM. However, with my experience so far they seem to be fairly well built compared to current offerings from other brands. Apple laptops aren't built tough by any measure of the imagination. They can't survive spills of any sort and unlike plastic casings they show every bump they've ever been exposed to with an ugly and obvious dent or gouge in their thin metal case. I've bought two recent Macbook Pros and neither one was worth even half their cost in retrospect.

I have had a two Acers over a few years & my Company avoids buying them. Their Performance & Price are OK but all seem to have niggling little problems in the Cases, both mine had cracked Covers not long into ownership. Do not think their design is as good as Asus or HP.

Report from Bangkok Post dated Friday 4 March 2011 :-
iPad, other tablets hit PC demand: Gartner
==========================
Apple's iPad and other Internet-connected media tablets are draining demand for laptops and notebook computers, research firm Gartner said Thursday, sharply lowering its worldwide PC forecast this year.
Consumers are diversifying their computing across a raft of new mobile devices, ending five years of strong growth in demand for the portable PCs, Gartner said.
Worldwide PC shipments are expected to reach 387.8 million units in 2011, a 10.5 percent increase from 2010, the firm said, lowering its previous forecast of 15.9 percent growth.
For 2012, PC shipments of 440.6 million units would represent a 13.6 percent rise from 2011, down from the prior estimate of 14.8 percent.
"These results reflect marked reductions in expected near-term unit growth based on expectations of weaker consumer mobile PC demand, in no small part because of the near-term weakness expected in China's mobile PC market, but also because of a general loss in consumer enthusiasm for mobile PCs," Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner, said in a statement.
Over the past five years, sales of laptops and notebooks have driven the personal computer market with average annual growth rates nearing 40 percent, the firm noted.
"However, due to the spread of low-cost embedded Wi-Fi modules, Internet access is now available through a multitude of mobile devices that allow consumers to engage in virtually all their favorite online activities without the need of a mobile PC," Gartner said.
Sales of consumer mobile PCs in mature markets were projected to average 10 percent annual growth from 2011 through 2015.
Worldwide, the professional market was expected to continue to show double-digit growth in 2011 and 2012 as aging PCs are replaced.
"However, even in the professional market, media tablets are being considered as PC substitutes, likely at least delaying some PC replacements," said Raphael Vasquez, senior research analyst at Gartner.
