 However, the G series was eventually forced to use Intel's mobile processors from the G41 onward. This was due to the increasing heat dissipation of the desktop NetBurst-based processors of that era, which would have required a re-design of the heatsink, and a bigger power adapter to boot.

-The G series was developed as a very configurable budget machine line in mind, allowing for a wide variety of configurations that could be either slow and cheap, or fast and expensive. To achieve this, the G series used the desktop [[Intel Pentium 4|Pentium 4]] line, as they were mostly much cheaper than their mobile [[Intel Mobile Pentium 4|Pentium 4]] equivalent. However, the disadvantage of the desktop Pentium 4 line had to be accounted for in its design. This would result in a machine that was very thick and heavy, due to the cooling requirements needed by the desktop Pentium 4.
+The G series was developed as a budget desktop replacement machine line, which was oddly unique in a way that it used desktop processors in place of mobile processors. It also retained the floppy disk drive, unlike other ThinkPads which no longer included them internally. This excluded the A series, as it was the only ThinkPad that kept the internal floppy disk drive.
-The G series eventually used Intel's mobile offerings, which gave them slightly better battery life. Unfortunately, it was not enough to keep the G series from being discontinued afterwards, due to the unattractive weight and size.

-In its later days, the G series used mobile processors. This started with the G41, and ended with the G50. As there was no other reason to continue with the G series, due to the competition from the thinner laptops, it eventually concluded with the G50.
