Things just finished here on the final day of Accelerate 2011. Chris Frey took to the stage to wrap up the 3-day event in the last, but lively General Session presentation. Chris asked the audience to measure whether or not the event was a success with a round of applause, and the response was outstanding. He then went on to thank all of the partners for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend Accelerate 2011.

Chris then invited Matt Kohut and Stephen Miller, two of Lenovo’s product gurus, to the stage to provide an enlightening and humorous look at how Lenovo builds products to withstand the torture of everyday use.

They talked about how Lenovo tests products for drops and then showed first hand what happens to a ThinkPad X1 when dropped from high above the conference floor! The answer? Nothing. The X1 still worked as Stephen and Matt played a game of Angry Birds on the just-dropped machine.

The General Session ended with a large giveaway where 17 Lenovo products were given to randomly selected partners in attendance.
