Does IBM even really touch consumer markets anymore. I was under the impression they survive by milking legacy customers.



They don't have a consumer division but many of these OSS projects that constitute Linux desktop have/had significant contributions from IBM/Redhat engineers..

and for a company that badly needs to repair a brand, consumer devices are the best option IMHO.

Again, IBM was only an example that came to my mind. I'm sure there are other companies that would benefit from making a Linux laptop.
