J.D. Hodges runs through the history of the ThinkPad. At one point, the ThinkPad was ubiquitous in office settings. The rugged laptop doesn’t get as much love as it used to, but it’s still going strong! Hodges makes great use of graphs, tables, and infographics!
ThinkPad has shipped continuously since October 1992 under two corporate owners (IBM 1992 to 2005, Lenovo 2005 to present), making it among the longest-running commercial laptop families on the market and unusually visually continuous from the 1992 700C to the 2026 P14s Gen 6. The 2005 IBM-to-Lenovo handoff did not rupture the brand the way skeptics expected: IBM’s ThinkPad engineering and design carried over largely intact, and Lenovo crossed 60 million ThinkPad units sold by 2010. The formula still has reasons to exist in 2026, when a 14-inch P14s Gen 6 AMD with 96 GB of DDR5 SODIMMs runs local 70-billion-parameter LLM workloads on a business chassis with a Copilot+ NPU and dedicated TrackPoint buttons.
