| Thinkpads were first developed and manufactured by IBM, however in 2004 International Business Machines announced that the Lenovo Group was buying IBM's coveted brand. Thinkpad aficionados were left worrying if this was the end of an era. Fears were allayed in July 2005 after Lenovo unveiled the innovative X41 Tablet PC. Since then Lenovo have released a number of quality Thinkpads featuring widescreen displays, enhanced security and wi-fi connectivity.
