I worked for IBM UK in PC support in the 1990's, the golden age of ThinkPads, and subsequently built up quite a collection of the early and unusual ThinkPads, which I am now reducing. This thinning out of my ThinkPad collection continues with the listing of this rare and collectible WorkPad Z50 manufactured in May 1999.
This is quite an oddball of the range, not least due to it running Windows CE. Whilst labelled as a WorkPad rather than a ThinkPad, it bears more than a passing resemblance to the ThinkPad 240 and of course it comes with the legendary ThinkPad keyboard and TrackPoint. What other Windows CE portable can boast that?! It's sometimes said that the Z50 is the only ThinkPad with a MIPS processor, making it even rarer than the PowerPC 820, 850, and 860 models.
