The Scotland plant which is now a call center assembled ThinkPads way into early T4x series.
I was told that the small quantities of ThinkPads were assembled in North Carolina...don't know if it's true. The planars are Chinese, Foxconn on all of them, though...

I do remember in the mid-90s when some of the 755's and 701's were also made in Scotland, and IBM even had tech support in neighboring Ireland for a short while (before going to Toronto and RTP). -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2012 14:49 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] ThinkPad X Tablets with high res screen You might be surprised to learn that some machines were built there long after Lenovo had acquired the brand. I've just sold a T61 (dated October of 2008) which was "assembled in Mexico of U.S. and non-U.S. components for Lenovo". My X61T bears the same statement on the bottom, build date September of the same year. Furthermore, I've seen and owned (still have 3) a bunch of Lenovo-era units that were "assembled in the U.S. of U.S. and non-U.S. components for Lenovo"... And the beat goes on...
