IBM laptops

[Guest]

what unique features distinguishes IBM laptops from others?

Personally, I find that their keyboards are the best thing about them. Although, I hear the latest models aren't following the same design. They are also very solid compared to other laptops.

Excellent keyboards, very sturdy build, reliability and customer support, and a wide range of options to choose from. They're probably the best-built PC laptops you'll find.
This applies to almost all Thinkpads, even since Lenovo bought the product line from IBM.

The ability to remove all style and coolness from a laptop.....😛

good machines though but boring as hell IMO

but again well built

but rather depressing 😛

As others have said:

well built
Very reliable
and a neutral design that can work with everyone.

Use to have one.

Thinkpads are very sturdy, no nonsense business grade laptops. Excellent security, magnesium hard drive cages, etc...

yes. business do care for reliability and not style. That laptop isn't going to keep on running after a few years if to much work was put into looks.
