On the occasion of ThinkPad's 25th birthday, we recall some of IBM's best known creations: from the Selectric typewriter to the IBM PC to the iconic laptop brand acquired by Lenovo in 2005.
The IBM 5155 Portable PC might weigh as much as a small suitcase but it was portable, something that couldn't be said of most computers when it was released in 1984.
The machine was deemed "luggable", a reference to its heft and the fact it weighed a not inconsiderable 30 pounds — roughly 30 times more than an iPad Air.
Inside the computer was an IBM PC XT motherboard with an Intel 8088 processor running at 4.77MHz (the same as the original IBM PC).
It came with 256KB of RAM, expandable to 640KB. It had one or two 360KB half-height 5.25-inch diskette (floppy disk) drives and an IBM PC colour graphics adapter driving a built-in nine-inch orange monochrome CRT display.
The Portable PC's operating system was IBM PC Dos 2.1 or later.
