ThinkPad Throwback: 1997 vs. 2011 — Then and Now

Check out this side-by-side of a 1997 ThinkPad and its 2011 cousin — a tech evolution story in two laptops. The 1997 model is a chunky powerhouse with a thick frame, a tiny screen, and that classic red TrackPoint nestled in the keyboard.

Fast forward to 2011, and you get a sleeker, lighter design with a bigger screen and way more processing power. It’s like watching a nerdy caterpillar turn into a butterfly — still reliable, still iconic, just way more ready for binge-watching and Zoom calls. Proof that some brands age like fine tech wine!
