ThinkPad is a family of business laptops and tablets designed, developed, and marketed by Lenovo. They were initially sold by IBM until 2005. ThinkPads feature a distinctive black box design language inspired by the Japanese bento lunch box, which originated in 1990 and is still used on some models.
The ThinkPad line was first developed at IBM Yamato's facility in Japan, and the first ThinkPad was released in October 1992.
ThinkPads have been very successful in the business market. ThinkPad laptops have been used in outer space and for many years were the only laptops approved for use on the International Space Station.
ThinkPads for several years have been one of the favorite laptops used by the United Nations.
The ThinkPad was developed to compete with Toshiba and Compaq, which created the first two laptop computers, focusing on sales for Harvard Business School. The task of creating the notebook was entrusted to the Yamato facility in Japan, headed by Arimasa Naitoh (内藤, Naitō Arimasa, now Lenovo Fellow and Vice President of Lenovo's Computer and Smart Devices business unit), a Japanese engineer and product designer who joined IBM in the 1970s, known Now ThinkPad
The "ThinkPad" name was a product of IBM's history and culture. Thomas J. Watson, Sr., first introduced "THINK" as a logo for IBM in the 1920s. With every microcomputer and mainframe IBM installed (almost all rented - not sold), a blue plastic sign was placed above the player console, with the text "Think" printed on an aluminum plate.
For decades, IBM has also distributed small notebooks with the word "THINK" written on a brown leatherette cover to customers and employees. [13] The name "ThinkPad" was suggested by IBM employee Denny Wainwright, who had one notebook in his pocket. The name was opposed by the IBM Company Naming Committee because all IBM computer names were numeric at the time, but "ThinkPad" was retained due to praise from journalists and the public.
for early models
In April 1992, IBM announced the first ThinkPad model, the 700, and was later renamed the 700T after three newer models, the 300 and (new) 700 and 700C were released in October 1992.] The 700T was a tablet computer.
This machine was the first product to be produced under IBM's new "Differentiated Product Persona" strategy, a collaboration between Sapper and Tom Hardy, head of the IBM Design Program. The 700C's development also included a close working relationship between Sapper and Kazuhiko Yamazaki, the lead laptop designer at IBM's Yamato Design Center.
In Japan and the connection between Sapper and Yamato Engineering.
This "pre-internet" cooperation in 1990-1992 between Italy and Japan was facilitated by a proprietary Sony digital communications system that transmitted high-resolution images over telephone lines. This system has been built in many of the major global design centers by Hardy so that IBM designers can communicate more effectively visually and interact directly with Sapper for advice on their projects. For his innovative leadership in design management during the development of the ThinkPad, Hardy was named "1992 Innovator of the Year" by PC Magazine.
The first ThinkPad tablet, a PenPoint-based device known officially as the IBM 2521 ThinkPad, has been put out as a Developer Edition. The ThinkPad tablet became available for purchase by the general public in October of the same year. [When?] [citation needed]
IBM has creatively marketed the ThinkPad, through methods such as beta programs for early customers, several pre-launch announcements, and an extensive lending program designed to showcase the product's strengths and weaknesses, including lending a machine to archaeologists excavating the ancient Egyptian city of Leontopolis. . The resulting report documented the excellent performance of the ThinkPad under challenging conditions; "The ThinkPad is an impressive device, rugged enough to be used without special care in the worst conditions Egypt has to offer."
The first ThinkPads were very successful, collecting over 300+ awards for design and quality
