Devoid of superfluous ornamentation, 
ThinkPad is the enemy of trendiness, design cliches, fleeting fashion, or competitive emulation. 
Instead, it is the embodiment of an original and authentic idea. 
It has become an icon, or symbol, of ultimate portable computing and success. 
Few have dared to mimic this hallmark design.

- David Hill, Vice President of Design for Lenovo
