The Lenovo Tapes

The "Kent" video is "wtf" amazing.

Whaaaa????

Part of my job is to review scientific abstracts...but those tapes are pretty far out there. I could get myself to think that the projection device (looks somewhat like an ultraport) might be feasible, but the rest are so far out there they have their own satellites orbiting them.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Ruger.

That's some of the funniest [censored] I've seen in weeks and made my day.

I wonder what the fuel load is for the Kent model and whether or not it will fly when out of ground effect! Slap an N number on that puppy and take it for a spin around the local pattern.

Regards,

James

Somebody must have put in some decent hours making those in Premiere; not to mention getting all the props to work right and the background noises, etc.

That skywalker feature would be useful at work where the most one-on-one contact I get is when I'm clocking in and talk to the manager about plans for the day.

I had mixed feelings about the crash from a great height. I indavertantly pulled my T41 off a table (open and running) and it fell to the floor. Nothing happened, and that was a year ago now. ... JD Hurst

Yeah. That Thinkpad was dropped from pretty high up onto a tile floor. I don't think anyone would expect a laptop to survive that unscathed.

This is hillarious !!!

I agree Christopher, projection is feasible (although useless), but the rest is not.

Batmobil like spill proof, it's just wouldn't worth it to design (if it's possible at all) and to install it in a laptop. I mean what kind of sensor will defferenciate the spilling cofee from typing fingers or something?

And the hovering laptop is just soo awesome, I felt like I was watching Back to the Future for the first time.

The owner of the website seems to take the videos too seriously though.

I love it!
I woudl serioiusly buy one with that projector. The others are good for a laugh though.
(Y'know, some day someone WILL build one with that projector on it and we'll all look back on this and laaaauugghhh.....)

I was wondering if anybody had saved those video clips as 1 out of the original three remain on the lenovo-tapes.com site.

Only one still remaining there, "Skywalker." Help me, Obi-wan, you're my only hope.

Frankly, I smell a hoax. [edit](Or April Fools.)
