I've only used the x-series recently. I have a handful of them as 
servers and use a couple as desktops too - although they are a tad noisy 
for that purpose. I've bought a couple of Thinkpads (A30s) with which 
the client, and I, have been quite happy. I evaluated IBM desktops back 
in June. I thought the thinkcentre m-series had more life than the 
a-series. (The client wanted to buy sometime good for the next 3-5 
years.) However, they chose not to buy this year, so I haven't actually 
used the m-series.
