#1 Post by jonashendrickx » Thu Jun 25, 2015 1:03 pm

David Hill announced a concept of a retro ThinkPad. All the features you ThinkPadders missed since the x20 series might be coming back.

http://blog.lenovo.com/uploads/general/ ... chine3.png

Here is a list of the features made known so far:
  • 16:10 display aspect ratio
  • Exposed screws
  • Dedicated volume buttons
  • Design after the ThinkPad X300/X301
  • Blue enter key
  • 7-row classic keyboard
  • Rubberized paint
  • Status LEDs
  • ThinkPad logo in red-blue-green design after the original IBM logo
  • ThinkLight: Its return will even be better by having 2 ThinkLights on your display.
  • Clam shell
You can read the full article at Lenovo Blog.

So dear ThinkPad fans, it is time to work together and support David Hill to turn all our dreams into reality! These forums were setup to hold discussions regarding the ThinkPad retro project and keep the ThinkPad fans on these magnificent forums up-to-date regarding the project. Don't forget to comment on the Lenovo Blog to show David Hill your support!
