Retro ThinkPad: It’s Alive
21 June 2017
ThinkPad
I’m sure many people have seen the recent leaks related to the Retro ThinkPad initiative I started nearly 2 years ago. There’s talk about display aspect ratio, resolution, keyboard, pricing and much more. Adding fuel to the rumor fire, the Lenovo commercial segment executive leader, Christian Teismann, even gave it a brief mention at the recent Lenovo Transform event in New York City. (Read the original blog that got the ball rolling here.) The social media response to the concept was staggering.
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve talked about the concept, but Lenovo has intentionally chosen to remain quiet on the topic. It took a lot of critical investigation to evaluate technical feasibility alternatives, display availability and the overall business case. Lenovo has never been keen on broadly sharing details concerning unannounced products. Retro ThinkPad has not been granted an exception to the corporate policy.
At this point, it seems like the cat's out of the bag. There are certain things I can now confirm. Yes, Lenovo will be making a special edition ThinkPad as part of the 25th anniversary celebration. It’s aimed at enthusiasts and superfans that were kind enough to share their thoughts about what the laptop might be. As with any new product we develop, there are always technical and cost limitations but I think where we landed is quite impressive. The product will embody many of the things people asked for.
It has a wonderful black rubberized coating, three TrackPoint caps, and a keyboard to die for. I will proudly carry one. Exact pricing and availability are not finalized but I can assure you it will not cost $5000! I have no idea how that rumor got started. I wish I could say more about this special product but for now I can’t.
I’ve held early development hardware in my hand, powered it on, looked at the screen and even typed on it. Those who have seen it can’t help but smile. Please be patient, there’s more to come. It’s alive.

价格不超过5000刀，买这么贵的家伙，确实需要情怀啊？如果是1500嘛，还可以考虑一下。
