Welcome!

Perhaps your love of science brought you here.  Or was it a Lenovo product?  Cute scientists?  A combination of the three? However you arrived, I hope you enjoy stories of scientists, from academia to industry, discussing their work and the Lenovo products they use for getting their work done (okay, and helping with some play).

The Purposeful Evolution of ThinkPads

The Chief Design Officer of Lenovo, David Hill, gave an excellent, brief talk at CES 2016 about the lineage of ThinkPads.  Rather than designs that are continually remodeled to reflect "what's new," ThinkPads are designed to reflect "what's better."  Please enjoy watching David discuss how the ThinkPad design is a perfect balance between form, function and emotion.

Rest in Peace, Richard Sapper

I would like to express my admiration for Richard Sapper, who died at the age of 83.  Not surprisingly, I first learned of Richard Sapper through his work on the initial designs of the IBM ThinkPad.  His design ethos remains twenty-four years later in the newest ThinkPads:  Simple black bento boxes that belie the technological wonders inside.  Since, I have admired not only his work with IBM and Lenovo,  but also his other industrial designs that range from the Tizio lamp to his two-note whistling kettle.  
Richard Sapper will surely be missed, but his designs will remain timeless.  To learn more about Richard Sapper and the origins of the ThinkPad, please read the following article written by Lenovo's David Hill in 2013.  http://blog.lenovo.com/en/blog/richard-sapper-the-origins-of-the-thinkpad-keyboard

    About Gregory Costa

    Gregory Costa is a decent biologist, mediocre writer, terrible formatter, but true Lenovo enthusiast, who admires the use of their products in both the academic and industrial setting...when he's not busy delighting himself in science, nature, or his OkCupid profile.
