Lenovo is celebrating a huge milestone – the 1 millionth shipment of the ThinkPad – by introducing a new ThinkPad X1 Carbon. IBM introduced the ThinkPad in April 1992. Lenovo purchased the IBM PC Unit in 2005.
The new unit weighs the same but the battery life is longer for the newer unit (up to 8 hours). Screen resolution is now 1920 x 1080.
