Lenovo Throws Laptop From a Plane, Gives It 10 Seconds to "Boot or Bust"
We 've long of a day when our computers have the spring back to life at the moment we dreamed press the power button. Solid-state memory, gobs of RAM and intelligent startup sequence startup routines much faster than it used to do that, but we 're not yet at the point of the current boot. However, you can boot a Lenovo laptop with "Rapid Boot" technology in 10 seconds, and to prove it, beat the OEM builder a ThinkPad T420s laptop out of a plane there to boot a short time frame and provide a parachute or Lot to his death.
In the first video above you see the ThinkPad thrown from 12,500 feet in the air. According to Lenovo, they calculated it so that the laptop has only 10 seconds to boot up, deploy the parachute and land safely on the ground, which he of course not. But bamboozled the audience by working magic?
The answer is no, and in a second video (not yet on YouTube, uploaded but visible here), that 's probably cooler than the first, Lenovo is a look behind the scenes look at how it was done. This program explains designer and software engineer for West EFX, Alec Ow, that it the program that is triggered automatically when Windows 7 wrote charged. The program calls for the CD drive eject, which in turn triggers a switch to deploy the parachute. Really cool.
