Lenovo = Thinkpad?

Asked by anonyjelly16 (747points) July 30th, 2008

I was helping someone with their Lenovo laptop when I saw that the Lenovo has the same “ThinkVantage” software (for recovery, restores, etc.) and even the ThinkVantage button to bring up all the system features.

I know that Lenovo has purchased the ThinkPad brand from IBM but… are the guts of these two “brands” the same? Are consumers paying more for ThinkPads just because of the name and appearance? Would it be smarter to buy a Lenovo instead and get the same computer?
