What is a ThinkPad? It is a handy and portable laptop otherwise called as notebook, introduced by the IBM Company. The PC division of the IBM Company was purchased by Lenovo during the year 2005 and since then the manufacturing and marketing of these laptops or think pads were taken care by them.
During the period of IBM’s manufacturing and marketing of these products, it first introduced three models namely – 700, 700C and 700T during the month of October’92. The 700C think pads were manufactured using the operating system of Microsoft Windows 3.1 version. It also possessed 25 MHz 486 SLC processor with the hard disk drive of 120 MB. In spite of the various problems faced while introducing this think pad, it achieved around 300 awards for its aesthetic look and performance.
From then, there were so many models kept on adding to the existing ones. The IBM think pad model 750 also had an opportunity to fly on the space shuttle on 2nd December, 1993 to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. The 750C model had to undertake a test program of NASA to analyse the radiation inbuilt in the space. The usage of think pads in the space had been increased from five in the year 1995 to nine during 1999. During 2006, the international space station and the orbit boards used the A31P think pad.
The think pads have been welcomed and appreciated by all for their quality and consistency. The first designing of think pad was a collaboration of the designer of IBM and the Italian based designer.
