So far in life I have many goals, many achievements and many milestones which I have reached to date,
One of them was being able to represent my favorite brand. Ive been a lenovo user for almost 8 years. Ive used multiple lenovo machines, and so far none of them have put me down, even the G series which is lenovo’s basic no extra features line of machines, even those seem to make me pause for a second and admire them.
Lenovo was founded in 1984. While the Lenovo brand came into existence only in 2004, the company has a much longer history. In 1984, Legend Holdings was formed with 200,000 RMB (US$25,000) in a guard house in China. The company was incorporated in Hong Kong in 1988 and would grow to be the largest PC company in China. Legend Holdings changed its name to Lenovo in 2004 and, in 2005, acquired the former Personal Computer Division of IBM, the company that invented the PC industry in 1981.
Lenovo’s premium line of machines are the ThinkPads. You can throw anything and everything at a thinkpad and it will outlive you. ThinkPads are MilSpec, they go through a variety of tests such as Baked, battered, blistered and blown with sand, Lenovo put the lineup of eight ThinkPad laptops through the gauntlet to pass a significant number of specifications for military-grade computing. Lenovo makes sure that every ThinkPad passes Low Pressure – Tests operation at 15,000 feet
Humidity – Cycles 95 percent humidity through the environment
Vibration (operational and non-operational) – Jostles and jolts the laptops to make sure they can withstand shocks
High Temperature – Simulates high heat conditions by baking the laptop up to 140°F
Low Temperature – Tests operation at -4°F
Temperature Shock – Fluctuates between -4 and up to 140°F to test operation
Dust – Blows dust for an extended amount of time
before they put it in the market for consumer purchase.
ThinkPads are used on the international space station
Becoming a lenovo insider 5 years ago was one of the best days of my life, I was invited into the team by Kionna Coleman. I met a bunch of new people, who are honestly true to their word and are teaching and guiding me every step of the way. I can proudly say that Lenovo is one of the reasons to why I am where I am today. Lenovo is molding me in my line of IT. I want to be a programmer, and lenovo is playing a big role in getting me there. I learn new things every day, I meet new people every day, I get to experience new thing’s in the tech community every day, I see new problems and see solutions to them every day. I may not be a very active or an insider who voices his view unless told to, but I try my best to influence people to getting a lenovo instead of that HP because hey you wont regret it infact they say when you go mac you never go back. I say when you go lenovo you never go back, because that sorta innovation will not be found in any other OEM to date. Lenovo originally designed the yoga later copied by HP, Dell, Acer. Lenovo made the helix, the theroy was later copied by HP, Dell, Acer.
Why be a lenovo insider ? what advantages have you faced so far ?
Being a lenovo insider I get to participate in tech related activities and enjoy myself. During these activities I get to influence people in my sector and bring them towards lenovo. Being a silent insider I focus on bringing the maximum amount of sales for lenovo here. I get to try new machines before anyone in my area tries it, and when I do try it and for example my neighbor is looking into buying a new machine Ill know the in’s and outs of what I have played with (for example the yoga 3 pro) I can look into what he/she plans on buying and I can fit lenovo into that and influence them to buy it. I am very open to trying out other machines, like a few days ago I got to check out the HP Split 13, comparing it to the ThinkPad Helix, I have to say the Split is utter shit. The split is exactly like the Helix only major difference, I can break it in no time, the ThinkPad Helix on the other hand has more security features, its aimed to enterprise users and keeping that in mind, it is very durable and you can trust all your important data with it and you will not fear any failures. Being a lenovo insider, Ive also been able to make new connections in the IT line of work, so if I ever need help I know where exactly to send an email or send a message asking for possible guidance. The insiders community is not all serious, we have had our fun times as well. Ive also got to interact with the lenovo team, lenovo social team, and I have to say they are funny, yet very serious when it comes to the lenovo community. A perfect balance of both which makes the lenovo advocacy program a perfect place to be. Lenovo has taken me to a very high ground where I get to experience everything to the fullest extent, its like the voyager 1 being in interstellar space experiencing new things. I am the voyager experiencing new things
Just through online forums, and groups ive learned alot through lenovo, but what would happen when I personally meet them or if lenovo arranges and insiders meetup, the world of knowladge will be standing right infront of me and I am willing to grab it. Yes ive done stupid things in my IT world, but lenovo and the insiders have been standing right behind me every step of the way to correct me.
Thank you Lenovo, Lenovo team and the insiders community for all your help and support it is the reason to why I am where I am today, I wish I could personally meet you all someday and I will. Thank you I am a proud lenovo insider and I will remain a proud lenovo insider and lenovo supporter till my last breath
