The ThinkPad T series is a line of notebook computers manufactured by Lenovo as part of the ThinkPad family. The T series is officially the flagship ThinkPad product, offering high-performance computers aimed at businesses and professionals. [1] The ThinkPad X series was originally introduced in 2000 and was produced by IBM until 2005.
IBM introduced the T series as part of their ThinkPad brand in May 2000. [2] The laptop was meant to cater to users working with multiple networks and in different environments. This resulted in the development of the IBM Embedded Security Subsystem. [2]
From the time of its inception, the series was designed to balance speed and mobility. Despite a 14.1-inch screen, similar to desktops at the time, the titanium composite body on the laptop was designed to keep the weight as low as possible. [2] Users were also given options to swap components for mobility, like a DVD player, writeable CD drive or numeric keypads. [2]
The ThinkPad T20 was released by IBM as the successor to the ThinkPad 600X and ThinkPad 770Z series laptops. [3] With a weight of 2.1 kg (4.6 lb), the T20 was the lightest laptop offering with a screen size of 14.1-inch (360 mm). [4] With the addition of an internal 8x DVD-ROM drive, the weight remained as low as 2.4 kg (5.2 lb). [5]
In October 2000, the ThinkPad T20 was upgraded and released as the ThinkPad T21 laptop with the Intel Mobile Pentium III (800 MHz) CPU. [6] The 14.1-inch LCD display offered a higher resolution of 1400 × 1050. The hard disk space offered was a 32 GB—high for the time. [2]
Further minor refinements were made to the T2X series resulting in the T22 and finally in 2002 with the T23 a Pentium III-M 1.13 GHz "Tualatin" having 128 MiB of RAM and a 30 GB hard drive.
The ThinkPad T30 was released in May 2002, with options for the Intel Mobile Pentium 4-M processor with the Intel 845 MP Mobile Chipset. [7] Additional options included the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 video controller with 16 MiB graphics memory, a 14.1-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1400 × 1050, and 1 GiB PC2100 RAM. [8] This was complemented by a 60 GB hard drive and a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive, making it a powerful laptop. [9]
Announced in March 2003, the ThinkPad T40p represented the first in the T series' "performance" class of laptops. [10] The ThinkPad T40p offered a Pentium M clocked at 1.3, 1.5, or 1.6 GHz, ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with 64 MiB VRAM, a 14.1-inch LCD display with 1400 × 1050 resolution, a maximum of 2 GiB PC2100 RAM, and a 60 GB IDE hard disk. [11] The design was followed by the T41 and T41p and the T42 and T42p (ATI Mobility Radeon 7500, 9600, and Mobility FireGL T2), with almost complete parts interchangeability, except for the fan (normal or p-series), keyboard (14.1" or 15"), screen (14.1" or 15"), and screen inverter. The 15-inch T42 and T42p models were offered with an optional 1400 × 1050 or 1600 × 1200 "FlexView" IPS LCD display. [12]
Launched in April 2005, the ThinkPad T43 and T43p laptops were the last T-series laptops manufactured for IBM. [2] [13] The major improvement was a move to lower-cost DDR2 RAM and a bus speed increase from 400 MT/s to 533 MT/s. Their Pentium M Dothan features the XD bit, making it the first ThinkPad that could run Windows 8.x and Windows 10.
In December 2004 Lenovo announced the acquisition of the IBM PC division [14] including the ThinkPad brand (at the time, 40% of the PC division was working in China.) ThinkPads were being made by Lenovo's arch-rival Great Wall Technology. [15]
Lenovo released the ThinkPad T60 and T60p laptops in February 2006. [16] While designed and manufactured by Lenovo, the T60 and the T60p still featured the IBM logo on the machines. [2] In May 2007, the T61 and T61p laptops slowly phased out IBM logos in favor of the ThinkPad logo. [17] It also was the first T series model to adopt widescreen resolution as a mainstream option; the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio screens was also offered as an alternative at the time but mass industry adoption of the widescreen standard meant that it was the last ThinkPad of its kind to use the 4:3 standard.

The naming convention for the T series was changed by Lenovo following the release of the ThinkPad T400, T400s, and T500 in July 2008. [19] The Txxp models (like the T61p) were replaced by the W series. [20] Designed as mobile workstations, the W series grew to become Lenovo's line of performance-oriented laptops. [21] The T series remains Lenovo's premier line of laptops, aimed at corporate and enterprise users and is praised by users for its outstanding Linux compatibility. The T-p lineup later returned as an irregular T##0p line with only T440p, T460p, T470p and T540p models. They were replaced by the P series.

The ThinkPad 25th anniversary edition was released on October 5, 2017. It was based on the T470, but brought back the classic 7-row keyboard. [22] [23] In 2018, Lenovo introduced the ThinkPad A485, which officially is not part of the T Series, but it shares the same housing as the T480. It offers a 2nd generation AMD Ryzen PRO processor and lacks Thunderbolt 3 support but has USB-C support. The A475 had been similarly released in 2017 as a variation of the T470, but with AMD Carrizo or Bristol Ridge processors. In 2019 Lenovo officially introduced AMD CPUs in the T series, and differentiated it with the digit 5 at the end of the model number (i.e. T495).
From 2020 onwards, the naming scheme was changed again, with the letter "T" followed by the screen size in inches, then the generation number and the screen size and CPU manufacturer in brackets (e.g. T14s Gen 2 (14" Intel), T16 Gen 1 (16" AMD)), similar to the scheme used by the X1 series.

This line introduces a touchpad with no physical buttons on the top and bottom and latch-less cases on all models. The ThinkLight was removed due to the presence of a backlit keyboard
The ThinkPad T440 builds on a thinner design with soldered 15 W fourth generation Intel Core processors that are noticeably slower that 35 W third-generation processors. Other changes include 4 GB of soldered memory accompanied by one SO-DIMM slot for expansion, as well as an M.2 2280 slot replacing the mSATA slot. Other features include PowerBridge, the combination of a 3-cell internal battery and a 3- or 6-cell external battery, replacing the UltraBay and slice batteries.
Based on the ThinkPad X240, the T440s provides a 14-inch display and 4 GB of soldered DDR3L memory and one SO-DIMM slot instead of no soldered memory and only one SO-DIMM slot

ThinkPad is a line of business-oriented laptop and tablet computers produced since 1992. The early models were designed, developed and marketed by International Business Machines (IBM) until it sold its PC business to Lenovo in 2005; since 2007, all new ThinkPad models have been branded Lenovo instead and the Chinese manufacturer has continued to develop and sell ThinkPads to the present day.
The IBM ThinkPad 701 is a subnotebook in the ThinkPad line by IBM. The 701 is colloquially known as the Butterfly due to its sliding keyboard, which was designed by John Karidis. It was developed from 1993 and sold from March 1995 until later that year and priced between $1,499 and $3,299. The 701 was the most sold laptop in 1995 and has received 27 design awards. It was based on either the DX2 or the DX4 version of the Intel i486, combined with the CT-65545 graphics chip. The 701Cs version used a DSTN display, while the 701C used a TFT LCD. It was pre-installed with Windows 3.11 and for the DX4 models also with OS/2 Warp 3.0. The 701 was discontinued because the keyboard design was no longer a necessity after screen sizes increased. After its discontinuation there has been some speculation about a new notebook with a butterfly style keyboard.

The first laptop in the IdeaPad U series was the U110 launched in 2008 by Lenovo. Showcased at CES 2008, the laptop also launched the IdeaPad series itself, and received the Best of CES 2008 award. The IdeaPad U series was a line of Lenovo's consumer line of laptops, combining Lenovo's traditional engineering with design changes that were significantly different from ThinkPad products.
In addition to the ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops, Lenovo also offers a value-priced series of laptops. Called ‘Essential’ on the Lenovo website, the products available in this line include the G Series, B Series, and V Series. Launched in 2009, the first laptop in the Essential range was the G530.

With the ThinkPad T20, the follow-up to the popular ThinkPad 600 series, IBM sets a new standard for travel notebooks
With a travel bezel in its modular bay, the T20 weighs only 4.6 pounds, the lightest we've seen for a notebook with a 14.1-inch (360 mm) screen.
Even carrying the internal 8X DVD-ROM drive you get at this price, it still weighs only 5.2 pounds.
The T20 transformed into the ThinkPad T21 in October 2000, with all the main enhancements being the brand-new Intel CPU to as much as Intel Mobile Pentium III 850 MHz, a higher resolution 14.1 in TFT display having 1400 × 1050, as well as hard drive capacities as much as 32 GB.
The real game changer was in fact the roll-out of the ThinkPad T30 in May 2002. This T30 had a choice of specifying the Intel Mobile Pentium 4-M processor to as much as 2.4 GHz running together with the Intel 845MP Mobile Chipset.
Together with the ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 video controller with 16 MiB graphics memory and a 14.1" LCD display with as much as 1400 × 1050 resolution and the option of 1 GiB PC2100 RAM, it was a real sharp performer.
You could stipulate a 60 GB hard drive, a DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive combo for the UltraBay and with its Intel AC'97 Audio this particular fantastic compact notebook computer was capable of running your films back in the hotel after a hard day's work.
The moment the ThinkPad T40 was announced in March the year 2003, we saw the earliest of the 'performance' workstation specific ThinkPad's
the ThinkPad T40p with the ATI Mobility FireGL 9000 with 64 MiB ram, a 14.1" TFT display with 1400×1050 resolution, still only 2 MiB PC2100 ram as maximum, but with a 60 Gigabyte 7200 RPM Hard Disk for speedy data access.
The actual ThinkPad T43 as well as ThinkPad T43p were the very last pure IBM ThinkPad's, being introduced in April 2005, with Lenovo concluding the acquisition of the trademark in May 2005.
The very first Lenovo owned T Series were the ThinkPad T60 along with T60p released in February 2006, although these were nevertheless sporting the IBM badge, and also had been needless to say designed within ThinkCentre Global Head Quarters in Raleigh North Carolina, as all ongoing ThinkPads even now are.
the T Series range had dropped the IBM brand with the T61 plus T61p in May 2007
the very first 'real' Lenovo ThinkPad's arrived with the ThinkPad T400 and T500 in July 2008.
Until now the Thinkpad T-Model from Leonovo, which was enhanced after the short ending -p, set the standard for professional users with high performance demands. After a complete overhaul of the Lenovo product lineup, coincident with the launch of the Intel Centrino 2, Lenovo is now starting a few new notebook series. Among them are the new mobile workstations with the labels W500 and W700, which are meant to replace the Thinkpad Txxp models.
The new W series is ultimately designed specially for professional graphic designers who want maximum performance paired with practical mobility.
Although it wears the third-highest price tag in our two-spindle notebooks roundup, the $3699 ThinkPad T20 is worth every penny. It packs a bigger screen, a more comfortable keyboard, and a larger set of useful features into a smaller package than any of its competitors. It should delight ThinkPad fans and newcomers looking for a lightweight notebook hampered by few compromises.
The ThinkPad T-series can be thought of as the flagship of the ThinkPad brand, it's squarely targeted towards business users and professionals.
Durability, security, usability and performance are all important characteristics of the ThinkPad T series.
Once opened, ThinkPad fans will notice that Lenovo finally centered the screen, so no more thick bezel on one side and a thin bezel on the other.
The full-redesigned Lenovo ThinkPad T410 offers quite a few enhancements over the previous generation T400, including less keyboard flex, an updated keyboard, a nicer touchpad, huge improvement in port selection, and better component access through the chassis.
Cons: Screen shows some distortion when flexing, High pitched fan could be annoying
Since Lenovo bought IBM's PC and notebook business, not much of the ThinkPad's iconic design has changed, and this is a good thing.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T510 notebook has the same business-like look, the same sturdy build quality, and most of the features that make ThinkPads standout from other business laptops.
Essentially, the Tx20 laptops only differ from the previous models, called T410 and T510, by a hardware refresh to the new Sandy Bridge processors.
The fan near the vent spun consistently even while typing this review, but it didn't get annoyingly loud.
Battery life is up to 15 hours with the 9-cell pack on the T420, or up to 11 hours with the 9-cell on the T520; the T420s can last up to 10 hours with both the 6-cell regular battery and snap-on battery slice. Alternatively, pair the T420 with the optional 9-cell battery slice and it will run for a ridiculous 30 hours.
