Thinkpad duplicates?

#1 Post by Thinkpad4by3 » Mon Oct 22, 2018 9:25 pm

Seems that Thinkpads had models that were in the same machine in two different numbers. Why?

So far I have come up with this:
Thinkpad 755C and 370C
Thinkpad 355C and 360C
Thinkpad 240Z and i1142
Thinkpad 380 and 385(all machines)
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

I'll try to do some research on point 3, but it might be the weekend before I get back with any findings, so I'd like to know if anyone figures it out before then.
