Operating environment:
ThinkPad computers are
designed, built, and tested for high quality and reliability.
When used properly in standard business environments,
a ThinkPad system should be a reliable computing asset
for many years.
Harsh environments and abuse can
damage ThinkPads since they are not intended to
withstand extreme temperatures, dust, shock, or other
severe physical environments. ThinkPad systems should
not be used in unsuitable environments. For example, a
ThinkPad system should not be used in non-stationary
environments, such as in-vehicle installations, without
additional casing or shock dissipation. IBM warrants that
the ThinkPad notebook will conform to its Official
Published Specifications when used in a suitable physical
operating environment.
