The 700's, 720's, and 750's were designed in Japan.  The 350's and 701's
were designed in the U.S.  I'm not sure where the 755's and 360's are
from.  Despite my less than stellar batting average with facts recently,
I am sure that this is correct --  three IBMers, two from Thinkpad 
development, told me so.  :)

Most of the TFT LCD's are from a joint IBM-Toshiba plant in Japan.
