Hewlett-Packard said that it will deliver more than 110,000 desktops and 31,000 notebooks to the U.S. Air Force (USAF) under the Air Force DLS (desktop, laptop and services) contract. According to the 
company, HP will provide Compaq dc5850 Small Form Factor and Microtower PCs, Compaq 8510p notebook PCs and Compaq 8710w mobile workstations will be distributed to Air Force bases around the world.
HP was selected as the "Best Value Vendor" for the desktop and laptop categories by the USAF’s Information Technology Commodity Council, which includes representatives from the USAF’s major commands. As part of this August 2007 award, HP delivered more than 150,000 systems to the USAF. In October 2004, the USAF awarded HP a five-year DLS blanket purchase agreement under the provisions of the Air Force PC strategy, which allows HP to bid on the USAF "Quarterly Enterprise Buy" for computer systems.

Yea but the next headline will be: "141,000 hp computers disappear from U.S. Air Force base".
Before I get flamed though I'm not really targeting the Air Force here, just laughing at all the news lately of govt groups in general losing stuff and firing people for things they are proven innocent of.
Haha@Nekatreven.
When I first read the headline I was thinking -
"What? No German contract? Since when does our military buy American?"

Sorry for double post. This website has issues. First, it gives me the error. Then nekatreven's post isn't even there when I refresh.
Lenovo is clearly the better choice.
