Build Quality Testimonial

I've owned a T400 for about 9 months now, and it's still in top condition.

Skipping all the details about my personal life... I jumped out of a car that was going approx. 20 miles an hour tonight, and landed straight on the laptop.

It was in my backpack...which just has a generic laptop slit. I hit the ground pretty hard and am very lucky I put my hands behind my head.

Anyway, I'm typing away on the the beast now, and it's working totally fine.

Thanks for saving my back, Lenovo!

 

Great to hear you are ok OP. Hope you don't have to pull that off again.

 

1. Why were you bailing out of a moving car?

2. Pics/vids or it didn't happen: do a video like one of those classic 2002 "Legends of ThinkPad".

 

I'd like to question why you pulled such a stunt in the first place, but the important thing is that you (and your laptop) aren't hurt

 

To 1 the op already explained it to the fullest they were willing, personal details aside as said. My guess, they had a reason they wanted out of the car and the person driving wouldnt stop.

Wouldnt have been the first time i jumped out but I would have slid dropped the the bag and taken my chances, computer first you know lol.

 

Clutch, good idea!

Thanks for the best wishes everyone.

 

I probably would have used the computer as a cudgel and beat the guy in the head until he stopped, but different strokes for different folks.

Glad to hear you and the ThinkPad are alright.

 

Lenovo will probably take your story and turn it into one of those viral videos…

 

With due respect, scr** the Thinkpad. You can replace that. Your ThinkHead, on the other hand... . Congrats for getting away with the most important stuff intact. The laptop is icing on the cake.

 

Why did you jump out of a moving car?

 

Man, that should go down as one of the ThinkPad stories on the ThinkPad website. Glad your OK, even doing a James Bond like stunt lol

 

Saronic: Glad you're okay. It's so very easy suffer a fatal head injury at even as seemingly slow a speed as that.

For the others -- Saronic already implied he or she didn't wish to get into the details of his/her personal life. The polite thing to do is to respect that wish and not ask. Knowing or not knowing really won't affect anyone's life.

 

lol, it probably would have been easier if he had just told everyone that he tripped and fallen backwards.

 

Glad to know that you and your laptop are okay. The person(s) driving probably wanted Saronic's data in his laptop but it was encrypted and he wouldn't give up the contents. So they were planning to take him to their secret lair to torture him, but Saronic managed to free himself and his ThinkPad.

 

Stay on topic please.
Relevance of why Saronic had to bail out of a car is not the topic here, otherwise it would have been explained on the first place.

Dont ask any more questions on that matter please, nor speculate why Saronic did so.

It is glad to hear that you are ok! And no losses happened.
So, Lenovo does keep up with the ThinkPad legend of durability, great to hear that!

 

Why Saronic had to bail out of a moving car at 20mph is relevant to my interests.

 

He was in the car with Jason.. problem solved

 

Again, thanks for all the wishes of wellness. Lew, I definitely wont try that again, thank you. I must now go into hiding, because wolssiloa is obviously tracking my movements.

 

i had a 40 pound dog jumping on my backpack in the car. the T500 inside is still doing perfectly well

 

Jumping on it? Are you sure he wasn't doing something else.

 

It is a she, but thinkpads can survive pretty much anything

 

Great to hear ThinkPad quality is still top-notch! (im getting one, so its good to hear they hold on well)

 

Wow amazing story O_O Just wondering...they fixed the infamous cheap plastic wrist rest part right?
