The ThinkPad L series laptops from Lenovo were designed with the theme of "green".[1] The first laptops in the series were described by Lenovo as being the environmentally friendliest products in the ThinkPad range.[1] Key features that contributed to the eco-friendly tag were the use of recycled material for packaging and post-consumer recycled content (such as office water jugs and used IT equipment).[1]

The predecessor of the ThinkPad L series was the R series, conceived as an mid-range line.

The ThinkPad R series introduced Lenovo's new product naming system, as indicated in the published tech specs.[2] The R61 laptop was replaced with the R400 and R500.[2] The first digit in the name referred to the display screen size of the product.[2] The R400 laptop had a 14.1" display, while the R500 laptop had a 15.4" display.[2] From the R series onwards, all ThinkPad models transitioned to widescreen displays.[2]
