    Changcheng (Great Wall) was the name Lenovo used to call itself. The name "Lenovo" was adopted a couple of years ago when the company decided to make inroads into the international PC market.

    No. Lenovo is LEGEND formerly, not Great Wall. Great Wall is another company, and they have their products nowadays.

    I think you meant ODM spoon.

    Anyways, I wish they had barebones Thinkpads like Asus and Compal has barebones gaming notebooks.
