  • forced air cooling for your thinkpad, now available for free with the purchase of a plane and parachute.

  • The parachute was such a disappointment though

  • great !!

  • If this is an actual test and that thinkpad actually boot up in time, a LenovoVision account administrator would respond to me. If they don't, well....you know this is a marketing gimmick.

  • Perfect - I have a Thinkpad. This is one of the few ads there that actually interests me in the product (and that's fairly hard to do).

  • CAPSLOCK turned on: I LOVE THIS AD!

  • These guys (Lenovo) have excellent customer service , for anyone wondering. I called them at 888-447-1692

  • It will be really epic if the boot up suddenly delays when there are Windows updates ongoing hahah..

  • If it hit someone...

  • mantap

    

  • kalo gratiss,saya mau

  • wow ...

  • My fav

    ad

  • mine booting in 14 sec, Archlinux + uefi (thx for including) + MY SSD :D i've got a thinkpad edge, i5 processor for 500€, no windows on it, thx for this :D

  • I used to own a Macbook, but once I went Thinkpad I could never go back.

  • Sorry but that "RapidBoot" thing doesn't change ANYTHING to the boot time after installed...

  • Lenovo is partially owned by the Chinese government.

  • tested to meet specs of their military contractors and using a solid state disk: without the big weight on it's base, it would tumble, a normal hdd would disengage to protect itself and the machine would simply fail to boot.

    PLUS they played the video backward so it looks like the laptop comes into the hands of the skydiver.

    PLUS they also inserted a ray-traced likeness

    PLUS they inserted a green-screened model

    PLUS whatever is displayed on the laptop screen was actually generated on a mac.

  • lol crazy idea

  • My computer doesn't need a parachute. It can fly. And it's a desktop.

  • saw this ad on a video i was about to watch - forgot all about that vid and had to search this up and rewatch lol

  • Now try that with a Mac !!

  • for IT People we call that cold Boot.. ^^

  • My laptop starts faster than that did... (if the film is in real time, which I doubt)

    Heck, every computer in my house boots about that fast. Mac ftw!

    *hands tissue* Oh my, you've caught a virus.

    *runs away giggling* You can try to catch me but you're running too slow!

    *hides in a house* Sorry but it seems you're locked out and your hardware is having compatibility issues.

    *escapes via water* Gosh darn it, your dock's are frozen and I'm surfing too fast to catch.

  • @Bushflare how's your upgrades going with your mac?

  • @14yearoldpyromaniac

    Not needed any for three years and still running faster than most of the competition ^-^

    Only issue that is a real problem is the compatibility of a couple of games. Dawn of War doesn't run as well on Boot Camp as the other Windows-only programs, but I don't mind that a great deal because all the good games are Mac and PC compatible these days. (Plus I've got a mate who could fix me up a PC with some of his spare parts but I'm contented as I am.)

  • @Bushflare Again a rich dumb that makes Mac user looking bad...

  • @kojinmalia

    If I am dumb, then I shudder to think what it makes you. You don't even use plurals or nouns. And as for rich, bah, I wish I were. I just happen to be intelligent and in a stable job. Hee, hee, hee.

  • @Bushflare Not sure being a appleboy is being intelligent but well, it's up to anyone... Bye~

  • @kojinmalia

    You call me unintelligent and rich. I only seek for you to realise how ball-breakingly wrong you are on both of those counts. I could say that Windows users are dumb because they're subjecting themselves to so much unnecessary hassle like the majority of online viruses, compatibility issues, overly noisy machines, unimaginative UIs and so much more.

    But I don't. I know a lot of them are intelligent, like myself. However most seem to be missing an organ or two in the head.

  • Its called a SSD.

  • They should complain more, there's no more matrix movie in the making.

  • you think thats cool? my laptop has a jetpack. i win

  • This is an excellent ad. Truly well done!

    It would be even better if you uploaded it at a watchable resolution, like 480p or 720p. 360p is terrible; I'd expect better from a large corporation.

    I'd go as far as to say that this would make me buy a ThinkPad. Except for the fact that I already have a brand new and vastly superior MacBook Pro. But that's just a minor detail...

  • @antismatic wow, you people complain bout lot's of things.

  • @antismatic quit complaining. Your ignorance truly shows the stubbornness of Americans. I am ashamed to call myself one, so I stick with being Polish.

  • boot or die, lol

  • What was that thing that popped out of it with the parachute inside? It looks somewhat like those things from 1997-2001 that had CD's inside. Then they were replaced by slots, then air. Doubt it survived. A HDD would break from even that amount of shock.

  • Actually, my laptop can do that. Guess I don't need a lenovo to drop my computer out of planes.

  • chrome os: boots instantly

  • Extreme Air Cooling

  • Well im assuming they are using sata III ssd's huh? that would make sense but would be quite expensive.

  • @chitownsteez if you're black...

  • lol, rightous

    

  • 5+5=9 yay my calculator did the math correct no no wait it says 10 because 5+5=10! i get an A+ on my test!

  • I find it much cooler that the laptop can eject a parachute out of its disk drive than the fact that it can boot up fast. Just saying.

  • I was hoping that the sky diver's parachute was locked onto the laptop, that would have been even more interesting!

  • @bballguy162006 or he grabbed his laptop bag instead of the parachute by mistake :D

  • Hey I do this with my desktop on every boot. Monitor and 5.1 surround sound all cables plugged in and everything. I can never log in though because my wireless keyboard free falls out of my desktops range so it eats shit every time.

  • Use Linux. Get 3 second boot.

  • @tomstockmail RedPack? :D

  • its ugly

  • Any way to build your own laptop with all these conflicting opinions on basically all laptop brands being shitty?

  • Except it would be busted on landing reguardless

  • That's fast!!!

  • It finishes logging in to a user's account in ten seconds?

  • WOW now I want to so buy a Lenovo laptop -_-

  • I wonder what damage did it get after encountering the surface

  • what took so long? my CR48 boots faster than that!

  • they may have changed the name but IBM will always be I Built Mine! because that's what you should do with the same amount of money and get a much better system!!!

  • @lotharian223 not so easy to build a laptop though

  • I wonder what would happen if you used the smaller model of the computer (the lighter version) that I'm using...

  • I was flying with superman and I wanted to check out my emails, but I left my lenovo fall over12,500 feet, luckily it was using his parachute and she knew what to do

  • It would boot even faster if it ran linux...

  • that laptop is now 20% cooler.

  • @LazyPencil I love you.

  • *laptop smashes to the ground* FU*KING WINDOWS 98!!

  • good ad. bad computer. LENOVO

    

  • So edgy and cool. Too bad Lenovos are poorly built and the customer service is uncaring.

  • im glad im on my lenevo now =D

  • 10 seconds flat?

    That makes this laptop 20% cooler than any other laptop.

  • wait wait wait...you mean these new lenovos don't have freefall sensors? Count me out... pshh.

  • so THIS is what the government is funding with OUR tax dollars?!

  • this is so cool

  • This top is 20% cooler.

  • check out the New Camera Mount Clamp

  • "The plane is gonna crash! Quick, grab the laptop and jump!"

  • Im from Brazil and I bought a notebook, Lenovo G550 model, and had many problems with the machine.

    Because of this problems, I decided to go to Court to get my money back, and I got it!

    In exchange, I would give the notebook to the company.

    However, the deadline for payment has expired and I havent got any response from the company!

    Only "we will contact you soon!"

    I just want my money back!!I'm not asking anything from the company, only my rights that were guaranteed me by law!

  • *guy walking in desert or whereever it was* hey look a free laptop *grabs*

  • Yeah, because when I'm jumping out of planes, fast startup times on my laptop is what really matters the most.

  • I love it!

    

  • I wonder if he changed his facebook status to freefall..

  • wouldnt a harddrive crash going that fast or the computer its self

  • When falling from thousands of feet high, the air is cooler giving it more air flow and the less heat the faster....but still PC > MAC =]

  • WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAY BETTER THAN MAC

  • Now I want a Lenovo!

  • hello think pad

    I want to play a game

    *throws laptop out of plane*

    YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO BOOT!

  • @NTComputer86 You sir, win two interwebz; one for relevant comment and the other for the Saw reference.

  • @SpartanM17 why thank u lol

  • @NTComputer86 lmao SAW reference

  • Comment removed

  • Too bad Lenovo sucks ass.

  • i love my lenovo, it faster than a popcorns fart

  • DONT GET THINKPAD GUYS! I GOT ONE AND IT CRASHED CUZ OF ITS RESTORATION!

  • Just get a solid state you noobs, and then it will boot plenty fast as long as your OS is running on the solid state. You could build a comp like this for so much less, just do some extra work.

  • Just get a solid state you noobs, and then it will boot plenty fast as long as your OS is running on the solid state. You could build a comp like this for so much less, just do some extra work.

  • Lol I say it's a fail idea...booting in 10 seconds really isn't that big of a deal. It's only 8 seconds faster than my current laptop >_> besides who the hell buys a laptop based on boot time? Let me know when it can boot up in 3 seconds and play games like gta4 and left 4 dead while being under 1k.

  • ok yeah windows can boot in 10 seconds if you have a clean install without all that adware crap you have when ever you buy a computer. The only computer that i believe can boot in 10 seconds in chrome os

  • @mboy3515 I assume lenovos come with nothing considering they are the most basic u can get

  • They cheated. It was in standby.

  • Reading some of these comments just makes me wonder why do some ppl always approach anything and everything from a negative aspect. It's a well executed concept for a commercial. It is certainly better than most of the commercials we see out there. They could have made a poster that says "our laptop boots in 10 secs" but instead they made this, which is what I consider a type of art. Just enjoy it. fyi: I don't care if your macbook air boots in 5 secs because it doesn't. Chromebook tho =))

  • that was hella cool

  • to bad it still busted when it landed

  • "Mac does this"

    "Mac does that"

    Mac errors and doesn't tell you why.

    Mac is about 3x more expensive than a PC that has the exact same capabilities excluding trivial things (such as start up speed)

    I want my computer to be healthy, and speedy start ups don't exactly scream healthy. If my PC wants to take its time, it can. I'm not going to explode, and all that extra time can be summed up to about 5 minutes of sleeping in per YEAR. I mean, I only shut down my PC once in a while, so that's just me.

  • I know that theres no HDD there its probably just a SSD *which any computer would boot up crazy with* because all that shaking would have held up the HDD

  • I bet...

  • does every second really count? will it really matter to you if your computer took 10 seconds for example to boot up instead of 5? can you not spare the extra 5 seconds or whatever? it's not like every time you get on your computer you'll be in a situation where you absolutely need your computer to boot up as quickly as possible.

  • @sanbox242 You're right about the lack of urgency in booting a computer when not falling 20000ft, and that 5 secs quicker booting isn't enough to make me buy the computer cause it doesn't matter, but YES EVERY FUCKING SECOND of your life counts. Don't forget that.

  • @OsmosisDives i'm just sayin that i'd rather have a $500 computer that takes 5 extra seconds to boot than a $1500 computer that boots up a little faster. those 5 seconds aren't a waste if your doing something else that's important like breathing

  • fake and gay

    

  • @cheezcakep Like you.

  • my macbook air boots in about 5 seconds. Just sayin'

  • Dell laptops are P.O.S. I'm using it right now haha

  • Take off the parachute and test the durability.

  • @plainrock124 have you seen what those Lenovo laptops look like. So damn ugly that it would scare the ground away if left to freefall

  • @SamsPlayground It's also sooooo heavy it might break the ground!

  • @wshyang Yes, I believe 2. See the 'making of'' video.

  • Its funny because my thinkpad stopped booting in a week... Ignore this video, dont buy one....

  • It works like that the first couple of times that you turn it on...

  • @Patagon92 If you know how a solid state drive works, you would know that the cold boot of the pc gets faster with every boot you perform. But there's a catch, solid state drives have a limited number of read and writes, and it will die after it reaches it limit. But for an average user, it easily lasts 5-6 years, which is about the number of years anyone would use a laptop before you start running into [other] hardware failures.

  • @Asrar29 Take a look at LongboardingReviews comment...I'm tired of fancy answers, the thing si that I also bought a Lenovo and it's shit

  • best commercial

  • I love my think pad! Best computer I have ever owned hands down!

  • Anyone else freak out because they thought it said 10 seconds flat?!?!

  • @Controversialize They should have said 10 flat Lolz;D!

    God bless!!!

  • @8feet Celestia guide you!

  • Amazing ad, great laptop, windows 7 is alright, but linux seems more appropriate for something like this

  • meh my pc botts in 15 ish seconds with a p 4

  • 7 people's laptop didn't make it...

  • please.. you can gloat all you want regarding your mac bootup speeds but that doesn't hide the fact that almost all Mac products are extremely overpriced.

  • Macbook Pro boots in 1 sec.

  • I can do that with my gameboy color no big deal

  • Why bother when you can own a Mac?

  • there is something called a mac that has been capable of this for a while

  • only Linux could do that

  • its more than ten seconds for boot-up. i mean come on its windows seven not puppy Linux

  • Maximum Air Cooling!

  • Did they seriously just reference my little pony? (Rainbowdash) wow lol

  • yes... but can it blend?

  • thumbs up if ur watching this on a thinkpad.

  • lol rapid boot more like Solid State Drive >.>

  • i thought the guy had no parachute and the only way he would get one was buy booting the laptop lol

  • Diving through the skies....

    Booting up in ten seconds flat...

    I know who would really enjoy this computer.

  • @thatlookscool wait, I am not getting the reference....explain?

  • but can it run crysis?

  • my laptop starts up in 8 seconds

  • well duh 12,500 feet

  • Omg! I was soo scared!

  • but when it gets old it gets 50 times slower

  • wow....nobody cared if the guy made it or not....LOL

  • But will it blend???

  • that made me hard

    

  • My x100e takes 5 min to start up and 3 to shut down

  • Macs can do that. 5 times faster.

  • Im accaully watching this on an lenova well falling through the air

    update

    The computers OK!

  • Linux has been able to boot up and login faster than windows since day one. Get Linux and then you will actually have a computer that deserves your time.

  • macs boot up slower than alot of the mid to highend PCs. you are probably not turning off your computer if it boots in less than 10 seconds.

  • thumbs up if your wacthing this on a lenovo

  • fast laptop

  • It's true

  • Orr, just get a Mac

  • Macs can boot up twice as fast

  • @Guitar162917 trollololololol

  • cool

  • They used an ssd right.I mean a hard drive platter would vibrate too much.

  • It couldve fallen for another 2 minutes and opened up in time. Also, notice they dont show exactly how long the laptop fell. they spent all that money for a redundant commercial, EPIC FAIL

  • this would come in handy next time i needed my laptop to boot up while skydiving

  • So, do all lenovo laptops come equipped with parachutes now?

  • Lenovo commericals - risking the pc's life to prove how awesome and fast it is.

    Apple commercials - using fancy words and names to sell a product using tech created and implemented 2 years ago or bitching on anything not running mac os x.

    Yeah I think Lenovo beats the shit out of crapple

  • ive seen computers boot faster.

  • Um... Hey guys if your in a two story building... Um, I have an anwser for that one!
