    The People's Laptop. Just lower-price durable laptops. The brand has been owned by a number of companies, the current owner is a Chinese company I believe.

      Also notorious for excellent Linux compatibility, even back in the 00s when that was relatively rare in laptops.

      were there more ownership changes than just the one from IBM to Lenovo in 2007-8ish?

        I just looked at the Wikipedia page a little while ago. I guess it is Lenovo that is the Chinese company. I had misremembered reading it changed hands more times.

      Nice. I guess next time I have to buy one I'll buy that instead of fucking HP, for some reason no HP products function for more than a year.
