One worry is that IBM no longer manufactures its laptops or desktops, thats all been recently sold to an interest in China who's name escapes me. So I would be worried about the quality for the next couple of years until they prove that they are just as good as the legacy thinkpads.

Lenovo is keeping all the old IBM design staff and moving it's HQ to the North Carolina area. I wouldn't be too worried about the design of the current Thinkpads. As for manufacturing, some of the lower end Thinkpad, and a good portion of the higher end had their production in China, just like everything else these days.
Centrino can be a little confusing, I'd just make sure that you get a Mobile version of whatever processor you decide on. More or less the same thing.
