[ltp] IBM to sell its PC business

[Sample User]

I have an IBM Thinkpad 760XL - still kickin' =)  (Made in 1997)
(Using it now to send this e-mail - gotta love IBM for quality)

What will be the best laptop to buy when this happens? (Assuming the brand
thinkpad goes down the drain =(

Would Mac compare?
