Background

In 1984, Lenovo was created by a man named Yuan Tien-hsiung. In order to compete with American companies like IBM, he wanted to start a company that could compete with them. He decided to create affordable, user-friendly products in order to accomplish this goal. The ThinkPad was the first product he developed with the aim of making it durable and reliable. Over the years, Lenovo has grown into one of the largest computer manufacturers in the world. As a world leader in personal computer manufacturing, Lenovo ranks among the top in the world.

The Lenovo-produced ThinkPad T550 was introduced in January 2015 as a part of the "T" series, a subset of ThinkPad's that Lenovo later created and marketed after IBM developed them in the early 2000s. With a goal of striking a balance between speed and mobility, the "T" series was created to satisfy the demands of users who operate in a range of networks and environments.
