of course they are manufactured globally. but in theory designed in US (for DELL) and China (for Lenovo). So in theory, QA and quality standards are way better specified in US than they are in China? Although, if Thinkpads are still comparable to their IBM equivalents in terms of quality, then the above theory is not true. China is moving ahead fast and everyone else is falling behind.

the chinese aren’t worse engineers than americans, they’re just usually more incentivised to reduce cost than increase quality anyway I think the thinkpad design team is still in japan
