ThinkPad lineup will get a retro model for its 25th anniversary

Few notebooks generate as much nostalgia around these parts as the ThinkPad. Two years ago, when Lenovo's chief design officer David Hill floated the idea of a retro-styled ThinkPad on his company blog, the response here and elsewhere was quite positive. Lenovo has been quiet about the project since then, though, content to let the rumor mill grind away. The company has now finally broken its silence and confirms that not only is the project alive, but that a retro ThinkPad will be released as part of the lineup's 25th anniversary celebration.
