Brief choice for IBM
A bit of irony; after IBM sold off the PC division to Lenovo, they had an arrangement with Lenovo for buying ThinkPads for employee workstations for a few years (I presume it involved some pricing discounts, etc). When that ended they started buying Toshiba laptops instead. I gather that didn't last long, as the next time I was back at IBM as a contractor, it was all back to ThinkPads again. These days they're just as likely to provide you with a MacBook (yeah, I'd be avoiding *that* option if I were there, just as I avoided it for my current job).
