The ThinkCentre line debuted on June 4 in 2003. This series replaced the outgoing NetVista lineup, and IBM targeted the series for business and home-office use. Along with ThinkCentre, they debuted IBM Express, a program that targeted the SMB (small and mid-size business) segment and provided system configurations suited for the segment’s needs. The ThinkCentre models featured a completely toolless design, and continued their all-black color scheme.
The A50 model evolved with a number of different configurations over the years, but always retained the same base configuration of an Intel Pentium 4 CPU, 256 MB memory, and a 40 GB hard disk. The last A50 model finished production in 2005.
