IBM ThinkPad

A series of innovative and popular notebook computers from IBM.

The ThinkPad first introduced the touch-sensitive dual-button pointing stick (called a TrackPoint), the pencil-eraser-like device, found between the G, H, and B keys. It is now included on many portable computers and replaces the mouse.

The top-of-the-line ThinkPad 770 runs a 300MHz Pentium II processor, an 8.1GB hard disk, a 56K modem, a 14.1-inch SVGA screen with resolutions up to 1280 × 1024, and as much as 320MB of memory.
