Thinkpad design is done in Japan. Thinkpad HQ was in Raleigh I believe but
the designers are all in Japan (including the little guy with the sensitive
fingers who passes on the keyboard designs ;-) ).
I think I read in one article that that design group was part of the sale.
Given the enmity between Japan and China, that ought to be interesting.
