ThinkPad series business laptops were introduced by IBM nearly 30 years ago in 1992 and have been in our lives ever since. The ThinkPad brand was acquired by Lenovo in 2005, and all ThinkPad laptops have been designed, developed and marketed by Lenovo since then.
Another new model has been added to the series with the ThinkPad T16 Gen 1. One of the most striking features of this model is that it is the first T-series model to have a 16-inch screen.
