Thinkpad Reserve Edition by Lenovo
Lenovo have announced the Thinkpad Reserve Edition notebook, a special edition that is encased in hand stitched leather.
It’s not obvious from the picture, but the leather is part of the notebook and not just a case.
As a limited edition each Thinkpad Reserve will have an individual number, though it’s not clear how many will be made.
I have always been a big fan of the Thinkpad range, I know people who complain that they look boring or that the specification is not great, but these people just dont get it, the Thinkpad has always been an extremely durable and business like notebook, you need to use one to truly appreciate them.
Lenovo engineers had to find a way of keeping a leather clad notebook cool, they did this by creating a vent that is sandwiched between the bottom of the laptop and the leather casing.
Lenovo are putting a lot of emphasis on service, as well as 24 hour customer support they will provide worldwide on-site service by the next day for 3 years.
No indication of the price yet, except you can bet it will be expensive. I like the look of this, it looks like a great choice for someone who is looking for a special notebook and money is not an issue.
The options for the discerning buyer at the moment are limited to some nice Sony’s, Apple Macbook Pro, Acer Ferrari or possibly the ASUS Lamborghini. The Lenovo appears to offer a more classy option.
