    that was a thinkpad, not much difference between IBM and Lenovo one.

    while the video was cool I still think it's stupid. They could of just donated it to some kid to learn how to use computers instead of destroying it for fun. Duhh

    You might need to read the comment a bit as they do explain about it

    Typing this from my 9 year old R40. Not surprised to see a IBM ThinkPad surviving all kinds of tests, lol. I once smashed mine (was very VERY upset) while the system was on, with all the power I had, and it only resulted in bad sectors on the HDD. I have also had it fall (while on) from desks a few times without even blinking.
