Thinkpads have been made in China for awhile now--mine was shipped from Hong Kong--only thing that will change is that another company puts their finger in the profit pie (which for IBM PCs is not very big, notwithstanding the price).
BTW I generally hate laptops, but love my IBM t-42
IBM moved ThinkPad manufacturing out of Mexico and to China a couple of years ago. I think there has been a USA-made ThinkPad in 8 years. Always been Japan, Mexico, or Taiwan (and now, China).
