Mountaineering is a glorious and dangerous sport. The successful climbers of today must be equipped with tools. If it is a mountain climb with a mission, it will require the support of high-tech products. The IBM ThinkPad is an essential aid for many mountaineers.
Deep into Tibet
Fifty years ago, the Italians conquered the world’s second-highest peak and the towering K2 peak of the western Himalayas. This has made humanity's mountaineering career another glorious summit. To commemorate this day, in the summer of 2004, explorers organized a series of mountaineering activities. One of the most important is the climbing science project named "K2 2004 - 50 Years Later". Participating in this event were physiology researchers including the Ev-K2-CNR committee, the National Mountaineering Association, the National Research Center (CNR), and Milan State University. Along with it is a black boy - IBM ThinkPad notebook.
Mr. Claudy Makeni, the committee's coordinator, said happily. "The ThinkPad T41 is the closest and most stubborn comrade in our adventure. It helps us to quickly collect and process large amounts of information."
In the past three decades, many researchers have devoted themselves to the study of high-altitude physiological functions. Studies have shown that Tibetans can work and live in an oxygen-deficient environment due to their strong physical fitness, without suffering from functional disorders (especially muscle dysfunction). Physical disorders are the main reason limiting the long stay of European climbers in high latitudes.
The researchers found that this physical injury was caused by oxidative stress, and that Tibetans had exactly the special physical protection functions that other mountain peoples did not possess. The purpose of "K2 2004 - 50 Years Later" is to compare the physiological performance of high-latitude residents and ordinary latitude residents under aerobic and hypoxic conditions through a special study of the Tibetan nation.
Researchers use ThinkPad notebooks to analyze these data, and the results will be the subject of comparison and research by the research team.
The harsh conditions of mountains are a test for people and even for machines. Mr. Makeni is very satisfied with ThinkPad's performance in such a difficult environment. He said, "The ThinkPad T41 is very good. It helps us conduct a lot of experimental data analysis and analyze and demonstrate the experimental results."
Mr. Paolo Degl Innocenti, Director of the Southern Division of IBM's Personal Computing Division, said, "In the past, the ThinkPad has achieved satisfactory results under extreme conditions. We are honored to be successful for the K2 2004 - 50 years after the climbing science event. Contributing to IBM's efforts, it is particularly gratifying that the participating researchers were satisfied with the quality, reliability, and durability of IBM laptops.
Conquer Everest
In 2001, IBM ThinkPad laptops successfully climbed the summit of the world with the Japanese mountaineer Atsushi Yamada. He led his companions to carry two IBM ThinkPad X23s and an IBM ThinkPad T22 together to hit the roof of the world.
The IBM ThinkPad T22 and ThinkPad X23 are functioning at camps at 6,400 meters above sea level. They have not only been successfully launched in severe cold temperatures of minus 30 degrees, but have also successfully established connections with the Internet. At the peak of 8,848 meters above sea level, IBM ThinkPad can still work normally at minus 30 degrees Celsius, as if it were a diamond. After returning, Yamada applauded the excellent performance of IBM ThinkPad. From his description we can see that in the peak of the snow-capped mountains, Yamada, a resolute look, interacts with the flashing ThinkPad, forming a brave and fearless unique landscape.
In China, the IBM ThinkPad notebook is the most loyal friend of mountaineering. In March 2003, IBM donated 12 ThinkPads to the Chinese Mountaineering Team to help them conquer the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest. This is the first high-tech climb by the Chinese mountaineering team. It is not only a huge test for the physical and mental qualities of the mountaineers, but also a severe test for the computer equipment they carry. In the harsh natural environment, many brands of notebook computers have been rampant. In the end, only the IBM ThinkPad accompany its players to 7028, demonstrating their quality and value.
In this difficult process, many mountaineers and the IBM ThinkPad have established deep feelings. The famous climber and Chinese mountaineer Wang Yongfeng said, “ThinkPad really touched me.†And Luoshan, vice captain of the mountaineering team, jokingly said, “This is my third impact on Everest, and the previous two have not been successful. But this time I thought, even with the ThinkPad notebook up to 7028, I couldn’t get up and I just couldn't explain it. Then I went up.â€
In August 2004, IBM hosted the T-guest elite selection contest, IBM awarded Wang Yongfeng the “I T-Cool†award. This award is awarded to T-series products to try top innovative activities and the most cool users to challenge extreme sports, and Wang Yongfeng is showing IBM's concern and support for mountaineering.
ThinkPad show its hand
Even in the extremely harsh use environment, dealing with a large amount of data information requires the most reliable IT media to provide a secure operating platform. Like the IBM ThinkPad T41, which was chosen by Italian researchers, it is the world's first product to use automatic hard disk protection technology. Small, lightweight, and highly mobile, these features of notebooks undoubtedly increase the possibility of accidental slippage and damage. Fortunately, IBM invented and patented this technology to protect the hard disk from damage, thereby protecting the user's data. The IBM APS active hard disk protection system is similar to an airbag that can be automatically ejected after being hit by an automobile. The APS active hard disk protection system utilizes a microchip on the system board to detect acceleration changes (such as rapid drops) and reacts in advance to return the read/write heads of the hard disk until the entire system returns to a stable state. continue working. In addition, the T41 also has TVT technology to improve security, provide multiple choices for the wireless environment, simplify operations, and make IT management of IT staff easier.
