The ThinkPad T Series – The Development and History of an Legendary Technology Identity
The ThinkPad T Series is just about the standard for the company notebook computer and also the quality to which just about all other brands have worked to be able to attain. Since its introduction during May 2000 as the ThinkPad T20 it has outsold all the other brand names in order to become the de facto recognized standard management notebook.
IBM introduced the exact ThinkPad trademark to marketplace in 92. The ThinkPad identify was in fact made use of throughout IBM for years becoming profoundly embedded throughout their enterprise history along with practices. Thomas Watson, had first created the expression THINK! as a effective IBM saying in the early twenties. For many years IBM sent out small notepads together with the expression THINK impressed on a brownish leatherette cover to customers and staff. Staff were intended to indulge in the business culture and jot down any outstanding smart ideas in their own ‘ThinkPad’s’ for possible future reference!
The brand Thinkpad was first recommended by IBM manager Denny Wainwright at a conference to go over ideas for the brand name of the innovative notebook computer range. He was carrying one of the little THINK notepads in his pocket at the time, and therefore the brand ThinkPad came to exist.
And therefore the brand name was conceived, with it’s famous red TrackPoint and 2 button left and right mouse with the signature red strips, as well as black, virtually laser cut design. It wasn’t nonetheless until May 2000 that we originally saw the ThinkPad T20 using the at the time, state of the art Intel Mobile Pentium III 650, 700 or 750 MHz Processor, along with graphics power coming from an S3 Savage IX8 together with 8MB of memory running either a 13.3″ or perhaps 14.1″ TFT monitor both with 1024×768 resolution. Standard memory was 128MB PC-100 up to a max 512MB and a 6, 12 or 20GB HDD!
The T20 morphed into the ThinkPad T21 during October 2000, with all the most important updates being the brand new Intel processor up to a whopping Intel Mobile Pentium III 850 MHz, a higher resolution 14.1″ TFT screen having 1400×1050, along with Hard Drive capacities anywhere up to 32 GB.
The genuine game changer turned out to be the introduction of the ThinkPad T30 during May 2002. I thought this was a really capable system in its time together with 14.1″ TFT screen with 1400×1050 resolution.
This T30 had the option of specifying the Intel Mobile Pentium 4-M cpu as high as 2.4GHz operating alongside the Intel 845MP Mobile Chipset. In addition to the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics controller together with 16MB graphics ram memory as well as a 14.1″ TFT screen with up to 1400×1050 quality plus the choice of 1GB PC2100 memory, this was a real snappy performer.
You could stipulate a 60GB Hdd, a DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive combo for the UltraBay along with its Intel AC’97 Audio this particular exceptional little notebook computer turned out to be capable of running your videos back in the hotel following hard day?s work.
Along with 10/100 Ethernet, Wireless bluetooth in addition to Wireless LAN the T Series had just grown up and was crowned the favorite of company IT divisions all over the world.
Assuming all that you actually want to accomplish is actually surf the word wide web and also write a couple of email messages, then forget the Netbook computer, go on amazon and by your self a ThinkPad T30!
Once the ThinkPad T40 was released in March the year 2003, we were treated to the 1st of the ‘performance’ workstation designated ThinkPad’s, the ThinkPad T40p using the ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 together with 64 MB memory, a 14.1″ TFT screen together with 1400×1050 resolution, still only 2MB PC2100 memory as maximum, however with a 60 Gigabytes 7200 RPM Hard Drive for fast data access.
The ThinkPad T43 and ThinkPad T43p were a final genuine IBM ThinkPad’s, being launched in April 2005, with Lenovo completing the purchase of the trademark in May 2005.
The initial Lenovo owned T Series were the ThinkPad T60 along with T60p launched in February 2006, although they were nonetheless sporting the IBM badge, plus had been naturally developed at ThinkCentre Global Head Quarters in Raleigh North Carolina, as virtually all recent ThinkPad’s still are.
Quite possibly the most sought-after ThinkPad’s by developers not to mention creative designers who just like vertical monitor real estate, as these were in truth the last of the ‘square screen’ ThinkPad’s. With an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz Processor, ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 graphics adapter together with 256 MB memory and a 15.4″ TFT WSXGA+ display with 1680×1050 res, they’re still incredibly useful laptop computers 6 years down the road and definitely will sit on virtually any desk and achieve regular office projects throughout the working day.
Whist the T Series range had shed the IBM name with the T61 in addition to T61p in May 2007, the initial ‘real’ Lenovo ThinkPad’s arrived with the ThinkPad T400 along with T500 in July 2008.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T Series with it’s brand new naming convention has developed into a first-rate laptop computer which holds true to the heritage of the ThinkPad logo, and is still the standard, to which other brand names aspire to emulate.
With it’s latest 2011 version the Thinkpad t420 and also T520 using the 2nd generation iCore processors, Sandy Bridge Architecture along with optional NVIDIA Graphics undoubtedly are a universe apart from the very first ThinkPad T20. Nevertheless they even now hold absolute to the concepts of excellence in design and style, spectacular reliability as well as performance, along with world class world-wide support which has always been part of the ThinkPad T Series ownership experience.
