Wow. I work for INX, a pretty big networking company, and the entire business runs Thinkpads. We’ve even got Linux running on some Thinkpads. I’m not in the internal IT, though, so I’m not aware of any big issues.
I used to be a hardware tech back in the day, and I used to repair IBM Thinkpad 755 and 760’s (pentium, woot!) Yes, I am that old, but I was only 18 when I did that! They weren’t that bad, compared to the older Compaq’s that you literally had to crack the case to get them open. But we still called them that, just because.
Insert boot, receive tech support.
IBM thinkpad?
I didn’t know IBMs created that much frustration.
It would’ve been so much funnier if it were an HP though.

Known to those in IT as ‘Stinkpads’.
