Workhorse/Global/Entry

[edelrc]

In the Tabook appears the column Workhorse/Global/Entry however I do not know what is it clasiffying. Does any one knows what these denominations are for?
I noticed that on the T42p only 2373HTU is 'Global' and the rest has 'none'

Search the forums for Global or Workhorse and you'll get your answer. JHEM has already typed up an excellent reply.

The "G" refers to Global meaning this exact model is available worldwide. It's a comfort thing for large companies who want to standardize on a single model for all their offices.

The "W" or Workhorse characterization is, again, a way for IBM to make some models more attractive to larger companies.
What the "W" means is that if you have two Thinkpads exactly alike in all ways except one is a Workhorse model, that model will be manufactured for at least 12 months after the non-Workhorse model has ceased production.
