From IBM To Lenovo, The ThinkPad T Series - The Dominance of an Iconic Technology Product
The ThinkPad T Series has become the standard for the business enterprise and corporate notebook and also the recognized standard that almost all other manufacturers have worked to be able to accomplish. Since its launch during May two thousand as the ThinkPad T20 it has outsold all the other makes to become the de facto recognized standard executive notebook.
IBM brought the specific ThinkPad brand name to marketplace in 92. The actual ThinkPad brand was in fact utilized throughout IBM for years to become profoundly embedded in their particular business enterprise history as well as cultures. Thomas Watson, had initially introduced the expression THINK! to be a strong IBM saying in the twenties. For many years IBM sent out small notepads together with the word THINK impressed on a brown leatherette cover to consumers and staff. Workers were intended to engage in the company culture and jot down any kind of good concepts in their 'ThinkPad's' for possible future reference!
The brand Thinkpad was initially recommended by IBM manager Denny Wainwright at a get-together to discuss ideas for the name of the new notebook computer range. He was carrying one of the little THINK notepads in his pocket at the time, and therefore the logo ThinkPad happened.
Therefore, the brand name was conceived, with it's well-known red TrackPoint and two button left and right mouse with the unique red strips, and black, almost laser cut styling. It wasn't however until May two thousand that people first saw the ThinkPad T20 having an at the time, cutting edge Intel Mobile Pentium III 650, 700 or 750 MHz Processor, along with graphics power coming from an S3 Savage IX8 with 8MB of ram running either a 13.3" or maybe 14.1" TFT screen both of them with 1024x768 resolution. Typical ram was 128MB PC-100 up to and including max 512MB and also a 6, 12 or even 20GB HDD!
The T20 morphed into the ThinkPad T21 during October 2000, with all the primary improvements being the completely new Intel cpu to as much as Intel Mobile Pentium III 850 MHz, a higher resolution 14.1" TFT screen having 1400x1050, along with Hard Drive capacities up to 32 GB.
The real game changer turned out to be the roll-out of the ThinkPad T30 during May 2002. I thought this was an especially competent product in its time with 14.1" TFT screen with 1400x1050 resolution.
This T30 had a choice of specifying the Intel Mobile Pentium 4-M processor to a maximum of 2.4GHz running along with the Intel 845MP Mobile Chipset. In addition to the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 graphics controller with 16MB graphics ram memory and a 14.1" TFT screen with as much as 1400x1050 quality plus the choice of 1GB PC2100 ram, this was a real snappy performer.
You could specify the 60GB Hard Drive, the DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive combo for the UltraBay and with its Intel AC'97 Audio this exceptional compact notebook was capable of running your films back in the hotel after a hard day?s work.
With 10/100 Ethernet, Bluetooth along with Wireless LAN the T Series had definitely grown up and had become the darling of corporate IT divisions worldwide.
Assuming all you actually want to accomplish is actually surf the internet and also write a couple email messages, then forget about the NetBook, go on ebay and by your self the ThinkPad T30!
When the ThinkPad T40 was released in March the year 2003, we saw the earliest of the 'performance' workstation specific ThinkPad's, the ThinkPad T40p together with the ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 having 64 MB ram, a 14.1" TFT screen with 1400x1050 resolution, still only 2MB PC2100 ram as maximum, however with a 60 Gigabytes 7200 Revolutions per minute Hard Drive for rapid data access.
The actual ThinkPad T43 and ThinkPad T43p were the very last 100 % pure IBM ThinkPad's, being launched in April 2005, with Lenovo completing the purchase of the trademark in May 2005.
The very first Lenovo owned T Series were the ThinkPad T60 as well as T60p introduced in February 2006, although these were however wearing the IBM logo, and also were not surprisingly engineered at ThinkCentre Worldwide Head Quarters in Raleigh North Carolina, as virtually all existing ThinkPad's still are.
The most sought after ThinkPad's by software engineers plus designers who like vertical display real estate, because they were in truth the very last of the 'square monitor' ThinkPad's. With an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 GHz CPU, ATI Mobility FireGL V5250 graphics adapter with 256 MB memory plus a 15.4" TFT WSXGA+ display with 1680x1050 resolution, these are still incredibly appropriate laptops six years later on and can sit on any desk and do regular office duties the whole day.
Whist the T Series range had shed the IBM logo with the T61 in addition to T61p in May 2007, the first 'authentic' Lenovo ThinkPad's arrived with the ThinkPad T400 in addition to T500 in July 2008.
The actual Lenovo ThinkPad T Series with it's different naming convention has changed into a an exceptional laptop that retains true to the traditions associated with the ThinkPad brand name, and is still the standard, that other brands aspire to emulate.
In it's latest 2011 new release the Thinkpad t420 and also T520 with the second generation iCore processors, Sandy Bridge Architecture along with optionally available NVIDIA Graphics certainly are a whole world apart from the very first ThinkPad T20. Nevertheless they continually hold true to the ideals of excellence in design, spectacular dependability and overall performance, as well as world class international support which has always been part of the ThinkPad T Series ownership experience.
