What is ThinkPad?
A really shitty laptop produced in the 1990's. Usually only compatible with DOS and Internet Explorer 5, some people miraculously still use it today.
In general, its the definition of a shitty computer.
Guy 1: Man my computer is a piece of shit, takes 10 minutes to open my email.
Guy 2: Can't be as bad as an IBM Thinkpad
Guy 1: True that

ThinkPad - what is it?
The single best model of laptop form factor machines, now produced by Lenovo. Formerly produced by IBM. They have been known to last years and survive serious abuse that would kill a Dell or Apple. Recommended with a nice big battery and a copy of Fedora Linux 10. Computers for real geeks.
Eric: I say, I quite fancy this ThinkPad over the Toshiba that I owned last. Let's see Apple try to match this keyboard!
Luke: Or the built in biometrics, light, magnesium alloy skeleton, anti-flex screen, innovative pointing devices, durability, or hardware support!
What does "ThinkPad" mean?
A black laptop computer produced by IBM.
My thinkpad is a T23...
ThinkPad - what does it mean?
Looking at it from the lower end of ThinkPads, the most gigantic shit excuse for a computer you can currently find on the 1st world market. The computer will blue screen on you eventually, structurally this thing is as reliable as a 2,000 foot cardboard tower. the main cause of my blue screen was a cracked hard drive when i dropped it 4 feet because of the searing pain you get after it powers up, however, on a positive side, if you lay down with it on you will become immune to BSDM wax torture. Also, think you can listen to music? think again, the sound system has such issue buffering the music it will freeze and become so choppy you can't even stand it. I would STRONGLY recommend spending your money on either a higher end ThinkPad or switching over to another brand.
I wrote this rant on my ThinkPad, the browser stopped responding 10 times while i was writting it, and odds are will crash in a few seconds if i dont speed up writing this.
ThinkPad - meaning
The laptops that most schools all around the world use because they are the cheapest and have all the microsoft office shit.
Principle:What laptops should we get all the students?
Assistant:just get them that thinkpad thingie.
principle:yeah,we could use the rest if the money on my home loan.
Assistant:Okay, will order them now.
ThinkPad - definition
The complete opposite of an Apple MacBook. Thicker than a TV, heavier than the entire planet, and more powerful and secure than a frikin MacBook
Tom: Look at my brand new MacBook!
James: WTF! Does it run Crysis?
Tom: No it doesn't but it's faster than your "ThiccPad"
(They run a benchmark)
James: My ThinkPad scored 45,398 in PassMark's PerformanceTest!
Tom: My MacBook only scored 25,503 on the same test! How come?
James: ThinkPads are more performant than cheap MacBooks!
ThinkPad - slang
The world's biggest memetops, often shilled on imageboards such as 4chan. They are shilled as being indestructible, cheap, and reliable - which is not wrong, however their price is rising because of the meme (thank asshats such as Luke Smith for bringing them to the mainstream). The ones that are usually suggested are the X200, X60, T60, T420, T410, T61, X61, X220, X201, and everything else before Lenovo bought the brand. Libreboot, Coreboot, and 1vyrain are also major reasons to buy older ThinkPads.
Luke Smith: Oh, have you heard of ThinkPads? They are the best computers and very cheap!
Consumer: No, I haven't! Let me look in to them
- 5 months later -
Consumer: How do I have 4 ThinkPads now, I don't even use them.
ThinkPad
The world's strongest line of laptops. The latest models feature switchable graphics. Ranging from the ultraporable X200 series to the monstrous W700, they're commonly used by businessmen but great for those who need a durable laptop.
My thinkpad got stepped on, dropped on concrete and ran over by a car and it still works. Try that with your crappy dell inspiron.
ThinkPad
The computer that will outlive its owner, and will be going strong after 5, 10 and even 15 years
The top-of-the-line high-end models are built to last and aren't made with planned obsolescence in mind.
They are extremely upgradeable, and parts are plentiful. In the very rare case something goes wrong, you can repair it at home with dental floss and a brick.
A lot of them pack high-end specs, and very old ThinkPads are much better alternatives than today's low-end consumer-grade laptops.
Ranging from the slim X1 Carbon ultrabook that weighs less than an M1 Mac to the Massive W701 DS that you can send someone to spectator mode with.
I have a 2012 ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 1, with i7, 8Gb ram and 256 SSD, and it literally runs TensorFlow deep neural networks.
Yooooo my ThinkPad just turned 10 years old today! Still going strong with just a thermal paste change.
Your MacBook is just 4 years old and you need a new one? You wasted your money, should have got a ThinkPad.
