I've been at the same company for almost 2 decades. 5 years into my tenure, some genius had a bright idea to move away from IBM Thinkpad. Each time, it's bee a failure.
IBM Thinkpad (years and years) -> Dell (3 years) -> HP (3 years) -> Back to Lenovo Thinkpad (for the past 5-6 years)
Mind you, they didn't go with cheap HP or Dell. They were pretty expensive stuff...
Thankfully, I missed the Dell and HP wave because I held onto my Thinkpad T61 for almost 8 years before they finally pried it out of my hands.
