I remember they used to own Lenovo. Ngl, I feel that it's thrived after it was sold, their Yoga line and novel products are very interesting.

They never owned Lenovo. They wanted to get rid of general consumer stuff which is costly both money and image wise. A mainframe company which invented the hard disk doesn't want their brand next to "death star". As a person who licensed OS/2 Warp 3 and even used ibm.net ISP, trust me they have no clue about little things.
