The burning ThinkPad! One of the most amazing stories I have seen in the Lenovo Vision ‘Legends Series’ is the video of the burning ThinkPad.
Keith Jones is a computer technician for a major newspaper, and the day this all happened is one of those ‘don’t let anything go wrong today’ days! Why? Well, it’s his daughters wedding day. Keith is in church for in the middle of the wedding ceremony and a neighbor comes running in screaming that his house is on fire!
Keith arrived back at the house just in time to watch a fire fighter throwing his beloved ThinkPad out of an upstairs window!
Now this goes back to 2002, and so its likely that this was a ThinkPad T30, but even so, it shows just where the awesome ThinkPad reputation for build quality comes from!
This poor T30 ends up melted, water soaked and, well, I won’t spoil the story ….
Enjoy the video, and make sure that you catch some more of the great videos at Lenovo Vision.
