IBM quality by design
IBM quality covers all aspects of the Think Family of Offerings, from start to finish. IBM's exhaustive quality management process involves input from customers worldwide to ensure that the end product fully meets their requirements. In addition, great attention to detail helps IBM develop offerings of the highest integrity.
Highlights of the quality found in models of IBM's renowned ThinkPad notebooks include:
- The IBM ThinkPad UltraNavTM, the ultimate in pointing flexibility
- The legendary IBM ThinkPad keyboard, which is comfortable and ergonomic with full-size keys1
- The IBM ThinkPad HDD Shock Absorber, located on the bottom of the notebook, provides impact protection for the hard drive (when in use) to help prevent crashes and protect vital data
- The ThinkLight keyboard light, which illuminates your keyboard to work in low-light conditions
IBM's tough quality standards
All products in the IBM Think Family of Offerings are put through a series of exceptionally strenuous tests to confirm that they can survive the trials of the business world. Only a product that successfully passes every rigorous test can become a member of the IBM Think Family of Offerings.
As a result of this commitment, many IBM products have been known to withstand incredibly tough conditions. In 2002, for example, the IBM ThinkPad T23 won the No. 1 ranking in durability testing in the Mobile Computing & Communications Notebook Triathlon Competition. The ThinkPad T23 also won the best overall award in the 2002 Ziff Davis Smart Business magazine "Torture Test."
So when you choose a product in the IBM Think Family of Offerings, you can be confident that you are getting a system that's tough.
