It’s not promotion – people often ask me how to use a laptop, and by looking at this, one can realize just how great ThinkPads are

Seeing that the Chinese space station uses what seems to be the same ThinkPad as mine, I looked up information online regarding ThinkPads being used in space and would like to share my own experience with them. It’s not an advertisement; I’m just recommending them because I think they’re good. I once bought a used T43 that got wet after a tea cup was knocked over, causing it to shut down automatically. I disassembled it, carefully dried it using a hair dryer, waited a few hours for it to cool down, then reassembled it – and to my surprise, it started working again. I used it for ten years without installing any operating system or antivirus software. Of course, now it’s unused because its memory capacity is no longer sufficient, and the fan wear has caused significant noise, affecting its cooling performance. If I include the ThinkBook models as well, I’ve used four ThinkPads in total. Overall, these ThinkPads have good performance, are simple to use, and don’t require complicated processes for installing operating systems. I’ve found that it’s possible to use them without antivirus software either. It seems to me that antivirus software is something created by those software companies themselves – essentially, they create their own “viruses” and then try to eliminate them with their own software It was different before; there were indeed various poisons. ThinkPad was the first laptop brand to go into space, and it is also the only laptop brand approved for use on the International Space Station. In 1993, the ThinkPad 750c was taken into space aboard a space shuttle, becoming the first laptop to go into space. In 2013, the ThinkPad Tablet 2 was taken into space aboard the Shenzhou-10 manned spacecraft, where astronauts used it to record data during the flight. In 2016, the ThinkPad P40 Yoga mobile workstation, with its stable performance, powerful computing capabilities, and design suitable for various applications, played an essential role in supporting data collection, data analysis, and network connectivity for scientific experiments, as it accompanied the Shenzhou-11 manned spacecraft in its docking with Tiangong-2. Currently, there are still over 60 ThinkPad laptops operating steadily on the International Space Station. For the International Space Station, the PC devices used must meet the following requirements: they must have excellent quality and be able to operate under harsh conditions ； The operation method must be simple to handle in a zero-gravity environment ； Batteries must be safe and stable. As the first laptop brand to enter space, ThinkPad’s superior quality makes it perfectly suited for demanding aerospace tasks. The cursor control system, which features the TrackPoint® Red Hat and a three-key combination, allows users to perform various operations easily and conveniently ； Batteries with extremely long battery life possess high stability, and in space, stability is the key to ensuring everything works properly. As Wang Zhong, Vice President of Lenovo Group and the chief ThinkPad strategist, said: “From beginning to end, the ThinkPad has always been a masterpiece that evolves with the times.” ” As the leading brand in high-end business laptops, ThinkPad consistently relies on its exceptional power to drive innovation and shape the future of the industry.
Mm. . . Exported domestic materials are all of good quality; those remaining in the country may not necessarily be of the same standard. Those that can reach space are definitely excellent, but as for those used in everyday applications, it’s hard to say.
When can I get one to play with? Something that can fly in the sky is always great.

In my opinion, the only difference lies in the configuration; as for using a separate device for space missions, the cost is relatively high, and it’s not entirely impossible, but reliability is hard to ensure. I think it’s better to use devices that have been widely used, with data derived from analyzing users’ usage patterns, and that’s how the final choice was made
Computers are now homogenized. There’s no such thing as being amazing or not. Lenovo’s public relations are pretty good as well. With the same configuration, others sell it for 4k, while the ThinkPad costs 6k. With over 1k left, everyone just laughs. Previously, Lenovo also had motherboards and such, but now those are gone. In the past, Logitech was responsible for manufacturing mice. Take a look at the mice that come with ThinkPads nowadays: not to mention the fact that they may last only 1 to 3 months, but even when using them for playing Three Kingdoms 11, they will definitely get damaged. There’s no talk of quality here; at best, they are slightly better than those sold at a price including free shipping. Mice that cost 20 yuan are actually better than these, yet they are still priced between 40 and 70 yuan. The ThinkPad templates haven’t changed much over the years; yet they still boast about their classic red dots and great keyboards. Give it a try with the chocolate keyboards found in modern 4K laptops – see which one is more user-friendly. Previously, they could boast about stability, but now none of the components – the motherboard, CPU, graphics card, memory, or hard drive – are produced by Lenovo itself; so what reason do they have to claim greater stability than others? You can only go with a basic configuration to reduce heat generation; take a look – ThinkPads priced under 6,000 yuan generally come equipped with entry-level discrete graphics cards as well as low-voltage versions.
The space industry isn’t as ** as you say; if all those devices sent into space relied on public relations, then whoever had the most money could send things into space, and in that case, it would be Ma who next sent something into space.
It reminds me of the Chinese Academy of Sciences; later, Liu Chuanzhi carried out reforms and turned the company into his own, but the foundation and networks remained in place. Lenovo’s most profitable activity is **procurement**. ThinkPads can go to space; in other words, just like the Shenzhou spacecraft, they can also reach space. Laptop assembly isn’t some high-tech process; Lenovo is just an assembly factory.
USA, I will never buy Lenovo in my lifetime!
It seems that Huawei can no longer obtain chips, and its laptops are also hard to buy. You can only get on the ship or buy Xiaomi. Xiaomi’s products are all OEM-made, and their quality control is a problem as well. I can only pray that domestic chips will be available by this morning.
