3:2 is better than 16:10 for work, and much better than 16:9. IBM practically lost money in the PC business every year after the 600X models, so I don't see IBM going back to that possible route. Lenovo bought the Thinkpad business, but actually managed to turn a profit. Of course, this was in part due to a general cheapening in materials and support.

Hans why company like IBM would like to spend their money on a PC market?
- everything has been invented long time ago so there's no place for innovation;
- global market has saturated long time ago, competition is pretty huge, sales & marketing divisions have a really hard time to convince potential customers to buy their product;
Considering all that Return of Investment would be rather low, so in a business world regaining Thinkpad PC division is an madmans idea. Years revenue and netto income is all that matters these days.
