In the specs for current or past model Thinkpads, there is often a column 
stating whether a particular model number is a Workhorse, or Global.

For example, go to page 11 of this PDF:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/tabook.pdf

Amongst the models of X60s shown on that page, all but one are marked with a 
W, for Workhorse.  Three of them are also marked as G, for Global.

You can also see that column in specs for old Thinkpads:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/tawbook.pdf
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/trwbook.pdf
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pcinstitute/psref/twbook.pdf


Does anybody know what Workstation or Global means?

Thanks
