IBM INTRODUCES THE THINKPAD A SERIES & THINKPAD T SERIES.IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) announced the next generations of ThinkPad notebooks designed to enhance and simplify the mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings experience. The innovative IBM ThinkPad A Series and ThinkPad T Series provide extensive improvements from new Titanium Composite materials composite material or composite, any material made from at least two discrete substances, such as concrete. Many materials are produced as composites, such as the fiberglass-reinforced plastics used for automobile bodies and boat hulls, but the to one-touch IBM help and information. "We have raised the bar in mobile computing by creating a simpler experience for users and an easier platform for information technology professionals to manage," says Adalio Sanchez, general manager, IBM Mobile Computing. "When designing these new ThinkPad lines, IBM focused on usability features, like our ThinkPad Button and Access ThinkPad Portal, while still delivering the power and performance our customers have come to expect." The computers incorporate weight-reducing Titanium Composite materials and a host of new ease-of-use features including common swappable components and built-in ports for modem and LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. connections. These new notebooks help keep users connected with a range of options including wireless solutions. Plus, IBM's services and support are now more convenient with the new ThinkPad Button, a tool that simplifies access to online and on-system information, resources and help. IBM has simplified its ThinkPad product lineup and changed the naming scheme A naming scheme is a plan for naming objects. In computing, naming schemes are often used for objects connected into computer networks. Naming schemes in computing Large networks often use a systematic naming scheme, such as using a location (e.g. to connote con·note tr.v. con·not·ed, con·not·ing, con·notes 1. To suggest or imply in addition to literal meaning: "The term 'liberal arts' connotes a certain elevation above utilitarian concerns" the experience of the product. The "A" indicates that it is an alternative to a desktop computer, while the "T" indicates it is a 'think-and-light' notebook. The currently available ThinkPad 390 models are transitioning to the new ThinkPad A20m. Likewise, the ThinkPad 770 models are transitioning to the high-performance ThinkPad A20p, and the ThinkPad 600 is transitioning to the new ThinkPad T20. |
