Lenovo made IBM's laptops and workstations at least since the mid-late 1990s, possibly earlier. The machines that gave IBM the reputation for toughness and reliability were all Lenovo beneath the skin. When IBM divested their consumer division, Lenovo bought the rights to the Thinkpad and Thinkcentre lines and kept right on building them. The "Thinkpad/Centre" models produced by Lenovo today are very much the descendants of the IBM's you remember (which were actually Lenovos).
