From brick to ultrabook: 20 years of Lenovo's story

20 years of Lenovoshop’s story: from brick to ultrabook

30.9.2025

The year was 2005. YouTube had just entered the internet, Madonna had returned to the top with her hit Hung Up and Czech households were watching the first reality show VyVolení, which became a phenomenon. It was a time when laptops still resembled heavy bricks and no one could imagine smartphones in their pockets.

Do you remember what you were doing 20 years ago?

Martin Moravec, Channel Sales Manager at Lenovo, began his speech with the same nostalgic question: ‘I was still in high school then,’ he joked, reminding us that it was at that time that Facebook opened up to the general public and Google launched its first maps. And in that same year, a project was born that today celebrates a beautiful anniversary –

. “It’s nice to have a partner with whom we’ve come a long way, and it keeps us moving forward together,” adds Martin Moravec.

Behind Lenovoshop is Tomáš Šteffl, one of the founders and owners of M Computers. He was the one who created the first website and added the very first product in 2005. “Lenovoshop is like my baby – I was there at the very beginning and I’ve watched it grow for twenty years,” recalls Tomas. He celebrated the anniversary symbolically – by cutting a birthday cake.

Two decades and a celebration on the water

The whole world of technology has changed in two decades. Heavy and clunky laptops that lasted barely a few hours have become light and sleek ultrabooks.

Our Lenovoshop grew along with it. Gradually we built a successful specialized eshop, which today offers a wide portfolio of the latest technologies – from end devices to complete corporate solutions. Thanks to this e-shop, we have been able to defend our status as a Lenovo Platinum Partner, the highest partnership within this product group.

We decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary in an unconventional way – on board a steamer that passed through the historic centre of Prague. We enjoyed a relaxing cruise, toasts and birthday cake with our customers and partners. It was a celebration that reminded us how far we have come over the years – and how many opportunities are still ahead of us. Twenty years have flown by. Thank you to all our customers, partners and colleagues who are part of our story.
