Lenovo Celebrates 60 Millionth ThinkPad

From DailyTech: The ThinkPad notebook lineup has long been a staple in the business community. Many in the business world swear by the no-nonsense, black machines and the reputation that comes with having a ThinkPad-branded product.

IBM introduced the first ThinkPad back in 1992, and since that time has achieved a number of firsts in the mobile computing market including:

* First with a spill-resistant keyboard
* First with built-in CD-ROM
* First with built-in wireless
* First dual screen mobile workstation

In 2000, IBM announced that it had sold 20 million ThinkPads in eight years. Ten years later, Lenovo is now announcing that it has sold over 60 million ThinkPads worldwide.

Long recognized as a hallmark for innovation and excellence, ThinkPad has been the trusted laptop brand for business users around the world for nearly two decades,” said Peter Hortensius, senior vice president for Lenovo's Think Product Group. “With Lenovo, ThinkPad has grown even stronger for quality, reliability and performance, and we’ll continue to drive our commitment to innovation further as we design future ThinkPad laptops.”

To mark this special occasion, Lenovo is providing a 15 percent “Customer Appreciation” discount on select ThinkPad models (the promotion starts today and ends October 8).
