I am not against Lenovo in any way, they have been making excellent products over the years, I am just surprised that many don't realize that it's a Chinese Company, despite them being such a big player in the PC market. Lenovo first acquired IBM's PC division in 2005, which majorly consisted of the Thinkpad and ThinkCentre models.

Other facts,

In 2014, Lenovo acquired Motorola Mobility which consisted of their Phone Business. In the same year, Lenovo purchased IBM's Server business.

In 2017, Lenovo obtained a 51% stake in Fujitsu through their PC Joint-Venture.

There are other companies that Lenovo ones, what do you guys think ? Do you think there are others worth noting ?

I'm shopping around for a battery for my T440p. This looks like a really good deal if it's legit. Looking at some of the other seller's listings, some of the items also have the "Lenovo Authorized seller" what do you guys think ?

I am currently using a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5 with a 10th gen intel i5. I like the keyboard and the speakers a lot more than any laptop I ever had, but the battery life is not the greatest, but that is not surprising as it has an intel chip, and the fans are really loud which bothers me a lot. I am not really interested in Lenovo's latest tech, but I do like their older Thinkpad models with the removable external batteries.
