ThinkPad is a line of business-oriented laptop computers and tablets, the early models of which were designed, developed and marketed by International Business Machines (IBM) starting in 1992. IBM sold its PC business, including laptops to Lenovo in 2005, and since 2007, all new ThinkPad models have been branded Lenovo instead.[5] The Chinese manufacturer further developed the line, and is still selling new models in 2024.
ThinkPads have a distinct black, boxy design, which originated in 1990 and is still used in some models.[6] Most models also feature a red-colored trackpoint on the keyboard, which has become an iconic and distinctive design characteristic associated with the ThinkPad line.
The ThinkPad line was first developed at the IBM Yamato Facility in Japan, and the first ThinkPads were released in October 1992. It has seen significant success in the business market. ThinkPad laptops have been used in outer space and for many years were the only laptops certified for use on the International Space Station (ISS).[7] ThinkPads have also for several years been one of the preferred laptops used by the United Nations.[8]
