Nostalgia for 20 Classic Models in ThinkPad History

After experiencing mainframe computing, client/server computing, personal computing era and the long-predicted mobile computing era, human beings finally welcomed the arrival of mobile computing along with the birth of IBM ThinkPad. At the same time, the previously underutilized computing power has been unleashed, transforming people's lifestyles and working methods.

I. The First ThinkPad

An insurance industry user once said: "IBM's notebook is like Rolex in watches." Up to this year, IBM has been producing and researching ThinkPad laptops for 14 years. However, IBM was actually a latecomer. It's a miracle that it became a leader from being a latecomer. These 14 years of ThinkPad are not just the 14 years of brand development; they also bear witness to the evolution of laptop development, the history of mobile computing technology development, and even the human longing for freedom.

As one of the main creators of the ThinkPad laptop kingdom, Mr. Masakazu Naito has profound insights into mobile computing and portable computers: "The difference between ThinkPad and other IBM products lies in 'mobility' (Mobility). IBM believes that if a portable computer lacks mobility, it loses its reason to exist. Every innovation of ThinkPad is an effort towards enhancing mobility. IBM's humanization and industrial design all make users focus on mobility as the only criterion to judge whether the design of a laptop is correct."
