THINGS TO HAPPEN.
THEY MAKE IT HAPPEN.
People who can’t think of business without a ThinkPad.
Lenovo is at the heart of the largest and most ambitious tornado field research project,
VORTEX 2. The Center for Severe Weather Research will equip “Storm Chasers” with the
latest Lenovo ThinkPad laptops, ThinkCentre ® desktops, and ThinkVision ® monitors. Our PCs
will track and store radar data, guide vehicles in the storm, provide weather briefings and
analyze data findings.
"This is without a doubt the largest tornado research project ever undertaken with the
sheer number of participants, the breadth of organizations involved and the amount of
equipment used. To pull off a project of this scale, we need rugged and reliable PC technology
to collect, house and analyze every bit of data. A fleet of Lenovo PCs will help us see further
inside the storm and to help bring some predictability to this natural phenomenon."

Dr. Joshua Wurman
President, Center for Severe
Weather Research.
The ThinkPad has extended its influence, well beyond our planet. In 1993, the ThinkPad 750c
became the first laptop to reach outer space onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Its task
was to run a test program to research memory anomalies caused by radiation in outer space.
A giant leap for the famously resilient ThinkPad as it covered new ground.
"A laptop is the most distributed item that we provide on the International Space Station,
other than oxygen. And that’s where Lenovo helps us succeed. The ThinkPad is pretty close
to the ultimate Mil Spec. Every test that Lenovo does, we take to a different level. We
drop ThinkPad laptops through everything… and can still deploy them out of the box. The
challenges we put in front of Lenovo are ones that other people can’t touch. Through the
partnership that we’ve established for the past 15 years, Lenovo is setting a standard for
others to follow."
