This article explains the role of an OEM company and the OEM business model. OEM (pronounced as separate letters) is short for original equipment manufacturer. OEM is somewhat of a misleading term for a company that has a special relationship with computer and IT producers.
Fuzzy Notebook Evangelist. I am interested in a 3 year warranty on a high end R61 or T61 Lenovo laptop for home use, but unsure whether to get an onsite or depot warranty.
Lenovo: Lenovo is definitely more of a business laptop. They include business features like extra portability, increased battery life, presentation help, etc. As far as comparing Lenovo to HP; HP may either be a little behind in these areas or Lenovo may be a little ahead. I like to think it's a little of both. HP doesn't focus on these features the way Lenovo does. Each year Lenovo improves their laptops' battery life.
