the notebook that inspired our thinkpads

No it didn't, it's just an ugly Apple computer

>>58710162
Nah, but it still beats the shit out of them though.
I love the fuck out of my Lombard, even more than my 600E.

>>58710162
But thinkpads were released a few years before that thing. Are you an idiot?

>>58710162
Looks like its made out of soft silicone rubber.

It's pretty strong actually.
The pismos are all polycarbonate, I think, and the PDQ is part metal.

sorry powerbook was released first. the one in the OP is what inspired the comfy curvy nature of the thinkpads

>>58710333
This.

God, Apple has really sunk deep.

I never saw much resemblance to the G3 lineup in the 2nd-generation T/A/X series honestly.

Likewise with the original PB 100 series and the first 700s and 300s, they were both pretty unique and very nice looking.

The notebook that powered the dotcom boom. Love it.

thinkpads are literally the most boxy laptops available, how are they "curvy"?

>>58710162

Apple make good products.
Lenovo make good products.
IBM make good products.
Samsung make hood products.

My Thinkpad is visually inspired by an Apple Product? Thank you Apple.
Your Macbook has a feature that is invented by IBM ? Nice!

Stop arguing about details.
Im happy with my Thinkpad and you are happy with your Macbook.
Thats the only important thing.

can you tell me what feature of thinkpads inspired the MacBook?

>>58711797
i'm talking about patents and licenses and no i do not now any IBM patents, but i now they produced PC and they hold the most patents in the US so im pretty sure the is more than one thing in the Macbooks that isnt invented by apple.

apple computers were shit until steve jobs took over again. then they were good for 10 years and suddenly shit again
