If you’re an IBM ThinkPad fanatic like me and the folks over at forum.thinkpads.com — or used to be before Lenovo removed the red stripes from the buttons — then you’ll appreciate having a real laptop shape for your diagrams.
I’ve created a fully over-drawn ThinkPad laptop Visio network shape that’s sure to bloat your file sizes, but look really cool on your 2400dpi color laser printer. It’s got all the normal features of Visio’s network shapes: a whole slew of custom properties and text that can be moved via a little, yellow control handle.
Hope you enjoy it!
Good shape.

Cool – I guess my thinking cap should have told me its easier to make it smaller than bigger
