Lenovo wanted to prove that their Laptops are very tough. The laptops feature full metal frame, shockproof hard drive protection and a spillproof keyboard. What better way of proving how durable they are then to install them on busses that are on their way to a Lenovo event. These seats are actually functional however they are obviously not just normal laptops bolted to the wall. The keyboard is the same keyboard from the laptop allowing you to have a seat or surf the web!

"On the occasion of ‘Lenovo Live 2008′ they turned existing folding seats in those busses and trams into notebooks with a real key- and touchpad. Thus the product promise could be experienced with all senses before arriving at the event."

>allowing you to have a seat or surf< Would you REALLY want to type on a keyboard that had been that close to so many peoples back-side?

Pretty creative ad! I’m a big fan of my T400, it’s a tank: Heavy, Boxy, Powerful. Not that Lenovo does anything secret, but they’re one of the few companies that offers an ‘durable but big’ option. If you crack one open, it seems quite well built. Having the ability to dock is really nice, too.
