    So I was looking around on youtube for videos testing the durability of Thinkpads and I came across this video...
    YouTube - Lenovo PC Crash Test

    What do you guys think? Is it real?
    I noticed someone in the comments mentioned that the screen was black while it was flying, I couldnt tell.

    My favorite comment was:
    "trousien: the data may survive but the person wont lol"

    ThinkPad: the one to get if you want all those embarrassing pictures of you to go public after your death.

    yep Thinkpads and Toughbooks the ONLY way to keep data intact after bizarre accidents and crashes.

    given the fact that the T400s half survived when a large DOW truck run over it, i think it is confirmed (Mythbuster should take on this one)...

    I will never deliberately sabotage my beloved Thinkpads, this is sacrilege in my book.
