Continuing our affinity for all things retro and nostalgic, Lenovo is indulging our inner, early computer nerd. With the release of the company’s ThinkPad 25th Anniversary Edition, we are transported back to the newness and wonder of the fledgling computer world with the efficiency and innovation of our modern day life.
To commemorate 25 years of the ThinkPad, Lenovo has released this latest version with a few of our favorite things about the original model. When coupled with the solid performance and mobile capabilities of today’s frameworks, the computer is a force to be reckoned with.
Go back in time to 1992, when the World Wide Web was just getting started and we were using our AOL dial-up connections to surf it. Google, Yahoo, smartphones, Facebook, and Bluetooth were still far off in the future and the ThinkPad was changing the way many of us did business. The ThinkPad 25 is a throwback to this bygone era, incorporating the same seven-row classic keyboard as the original along with the blue Enter key and blue accents on the sub-keys. The custom created ThinkPad 25 logo completes the retro look and feel.
On the outside it may feel delightfully familiar, but on the inside, the computer packs a punch with a seventh generation Intel Core i7 processor, Windows 10 Pro, and NVIDIA GeForce graphics. Dolby Audio and a 14-inch FHD touchscreen display complete the audio and visual treats. An HD web camera, solid-state drive, and a fingerprint scanner round out further bells and whistle features.
