    Seeing that Lenovo is running an ad campaign targeting people "who do", I thought it'd be fun to list famous users of these computers. I'll start:

    Doesn't NASA use ThinkPads, at least that's what you see from the Space Shuttle.

    Me. :p

    Do fictional people count? Moss from The IT Crowd has a T or R-series in the second season and the female journalist in Blood Diamond uses a 701c.
