    Some of the notebooks say IBM thinkpad on them, others say just thinkpad?
    Why?

    Since Lenovo's acquisition of the "Thinkpad" brand, the IBM name is being phased out.

    IBM Thinkpad: leftover stickers
    Thinkpad: new stickers

    I'm happy w/ my IBM Thinkpad sticker. It adds more value to the laptop than just Thinkpad sticker

    Yeah, the blue, green and red ink adds quite a bit to the price :)

    Even without the 'IBM', they should add some nice colors to the 'ThinkPad'. The all white looks ugly.

    I think the right compromise would be to use the red, blue and green from the former IBM logo and incorporate it into the new Thinkpad logo.
