Celebrate with IBM!

It’s amazing how quickly they grow up! This month the ThinkPad turns 15 years old. While many ThinkPad features have changed over the years, three things have stayed the same; the red TrackPoint, the rectangular shape, and its' black exterior. Originally designed in 1992 by Richard Sapper and Arimasa Naitoh-san, the ThinkPad has earned hundreds of awards. However, that is just scratching the surface on a life full of milestones; which includes being the first modern notebook computer to fly in space as part of a Space Shuttle mission, and earning a place within the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art.
