Thinkpads are popular on the ISS

ISS Tour

I always knew they had a few up there but if watch through the video you get an idea of just how many they have up there. I don't think I saw any non-Thinkpad laptops in the video!

Great video!
They are stuck everywhere. And from what I've read, a lot of them are still A31p's

They are ThinkPad A3x
The A3x's are easy to recognise as they have 6 multimedia buttons on the left hand side of the keyboard.

I can see why they use ThinkPads (especially A3x) on the ISS... they don't go wrong!! And when you are floating around in space, buying replacement parts for laptops is probably very hard.

Plus they were the first certified Laptops by NASA.
As my wife said after viewing the video, "Hmm, makes me feel right at home"
