Rambles and Riff Raff about all this and that

Pimp My ThinkPad

So, yesterday was “lenovo pride day”, and besides a global meeting with the companies top executives (which we couldn’t attend since the lines sort of collapsed) we got a pack of merchandising. Amongst the items we got stickers to replace the “old” IBM ones with new “ThinkPad” ones. (in the picture my R50e). I guess this sort of replies “inside the box >> The Most Useless Feature on a thinkpad“:

(…)I’d be very interested in hearing what you think is the most useless feature on a ThinkPad.” (…) 3. The IBM Logo – (har har har — always a jokester in any crowd)

Personally I’d like to see ThinkPads delivered with the Lenovo & ThinkPad logos already.

  1. Can these stickers be purchased? I would pay good money to be able to replace the IBM logos on my T42, even though it was made pre-Lenovo days.

    What’s so good about that sticker? I like the IBM logo better.

  3. Andrew says:

    The IBM logo is so much better. When I custom ordered my T60 this past August, I made sure that it came with the IBM logo.

  4. Andrew says:

    BTW starting with the T60, it is an option to have either the IBM or the ThinkPad logo.

  5. Esteban Glas says:

    I’ll quote our CEO, Bill Amelio, “it is hard to go to work everyday and see another company’s logo”.

    As iconic as the IBM logo is I believe the thinkpad one fits much better on the sober TP design.

    Am I biased? You bet!!
