Lenovo tests ThinkPads for durability in Yokohama lab

Lenovo's Yamato Lab in Yokohama, Japan, is where ThinkPads undergo rigorous testing to ensure durability. Laptops are subjected to extreme stress tests, including drops, vibrations, and pressure simulations, to mimic real-world usage and ensure they withstand daily wear and tear. In addition to durability, the lab focuses on essential features like webcams, speakers, and wireless connectivity. Technicians conduct detailed tests in specialized rooms to optimize video quality, sound reproduction, and signal strength, ensuring ThinkPads perform reliably for professionals. The facility also houses a ThinkPad museum showcasing the brand's evolution, from its original designs inspired by bento boxes to modern AI-enabled devices. Despite changes, the core philosophy remains: to create reliable laptops that support users through demanding workdays.
