Contact: David Hill, IDSA, IBM Corp., 919.254.8650 Credit: IBM Corp., U.S. and Japan With the ThinkPad Exploration, ergonomics are improved on the laptop by a single lifting action. By coupling the display linkage and the keyboard linkage, lifting the display automatically deploys the keyboard and the reverse for stowing is true. The ThinkPad keyboard elevation and improved palm rest positioning are accomplished through a second mechanism; adjustment is between five to 10 degrees. Increases display line of sight for user in desktop, lap or airline settings. "A brilliant integration of utility and form, the ergonomically adjustable IBM ThinkPad is simply a GREAT IDEA!" -Tom Hardy, IDSA, Design Strategist. |
