no offence,why does ibm's lappy sells so well but the design is so dull?

i'm working in one of the Blue Chip's company and all of us uses ibm pc and lappy's.no doubt that the Thinkcenter and the X series is great,but the design of the lappy's totally sucks

Thinkpads are meant to be business notebooks. They were made to look formal, not flashy, and their all-black design has become something of a classic among businesses. The fundamental looks of Thinkpads have not changed since the first model in 1991: simple and clean, nothing superfluous to detract from the 100%-business look. That, and their ruggedness make them highly popular as company computers. (Well, let's not forget the slew of security and productivity features the more recent models come with tongue.gif)

Frankly, I love the design of my R51, which has 'stealth fighter' angles when its closed, making it look sleeker and thinner than it really is.

Thanks for the infomation.I was told that IBM lappy's are exceptionally heavy and for the given price,u definitely can get a better specs.Besides, IBM parts are really expensive and the price changes every end of the week.This is because its imported from US and its about the currency.Quoted price only lasts for 7 day,not 7 working days mind you. A Thinkpad's battery can go anywhere from Rm 800-900.Thats just a normal battery pad.
