+The A series was developed as a direct successor of the discontinued 700 series, but after Lenovo's re-introduction in 2018, it was considered a small branch-off of the T and X series with AMD hardware.
 The early IBM models were mobile workstations, designed to cool and contain powerful graphics controllers for its era. They were also notable for being 3-spindle machines (with one Ultrabay), although the A3x models took an extra step above that and had two Ultrabays instead.
