TITLE

IBM ThinkPad 770 -- Focusing on Power, Performance, Connectivity, and Configuration Flexibility

OVERVIEW

Experience the ultimate in mobile computing -- a high level of processing power in a sleek, compact notebook approximately 3.62kg or 7.9 pounds (3.4kg or 7.4 pounds without the FDD). The ThinkPad 770 (9549) model has an extra large 358.1mm (14.1-inch) TFT display. In addition, the ThinkPad 770 ( 9548) model has a .337.8mm (13.3-inch) (measured diagonally) TFT display with significantly improved brightness when compared to previous ThinkPads. Another benefit is the power of a fast mobile processor -- a 233MHz or 200MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology and 512KB of L2 cache, depending upon model.

Multimedia enabled...brilliant display, 3D graphics, high-impact SRS 3D audio, MMX, and Sound Blaster audio support. The new optional DVD and Enhanced Video Adapter provides full MPEG-2 multimedia and DVD (Digital Video Disc) drive support. These ThinkPad 770 models can support up to a 20X maximum variable speed CD-ROM drive.

ADDITIONAL STANDARD FEATURES

- Preinstalled Windows 95 with selected applications or Windows Workstation NT with advanced NT extensions, depending upon model

- UltraBay II with a new, easy-to-use, side loading tray

- A 5.1GB 4.0GB or 3.2GB hard disk drive (HDD) is standard, depending upon model

- 32MB of fast SDRAM memory is standard. The IBM ThinkPad 770 has been designed to recognize up to 256MB of addressable memory. Current available memory options allow memory expansion up to 160MB using two 64MB SDRAM SO DIMMs in the two available slots for memory expansion. Memory expansion beyond 160MB will depend on the availability of memory options larger than 64MB SDRAM SO DIMMs. Such availability cannot be guaranteed.

- Keyboard with larger built-in palm rest, when compared to previous ThinkPads, and IBM TrackPoint with enhanced features, such as Press-to-Select and Scroll-and-Select.

Also announced today is a new model of the ThinkPad 770 just for the IBM Business Partner - PC, Authorized Assembler Program (AAP). This new model is shipped without a hard disk drive or software preinstalled. A selection of hardware optional features and operating systems is available .

KEYBOARD AND TRACKPOINT WITH ENHANCED FEATURES:
The keyboard has the familiar layout of a ThinkPad with a function key capability that allows you to quickly access system functions, such as power management control, and there is a larger palm-rest area. The TrackPoint with enhanced features incorporates the new "Press-to- Select" and optional "Release-to-Select" function of the TrackPoint. There is also a new center button for the new Scrolling and Magnifying Glass ease of use enhancements.

PROCESSOR: These systems, depending upon model, have a 200MHz or 233MHz Pentium processor with MMX technology, 512KB of L2 cache, and floating-point decimal providing exceptional performance.

MEMORY: The ThinkPad 770 systems are designed to use the new fast 144-pin, 2 64-bit SDRAM SO DIMM, 3 V, non-parity memory. 32MB of new, fast SDRAM SO DIMM system memory (RAM) is standard. The IBM ThinkPad 770 has been designed to recognize up to 256MB of addressable memory. Current available memory options allow memory expansion up to 160MB using two 64MB SDRAM SO DIMMs in the two available slots for memory expansion. Memory expansion beyond 160MB will depend on the availability of memory options larger than 64MB SDRAM SO DIMMs. Such availability cannot be guaranteed.

PCMCIA: The Type III slot can accommodate either two Type I, two Type II, or one Type III PC card. The slot will support the CardBus adapters PC card and the new ZV (Zoomed Video) adapter.

STORAGE: The customer-removable, customer-installable standard hard drive is 5.1 GB, 4.0GB or 3.2GB standard, depending upon model. The drive is easily removed by the UltraBay II release lever. This is only true for 2nd Hard Drives, the first HD is removed by taking out a thumb screw and pulling out the drive. The new 1.44MB FDD comes standard and it can either be plugged directly into its bay in the ThinkPad 770 or used externally with the cable that is supplied with the system. It comes in its own enclosure.

THINKPAD ULTRABAY II: The ThinkPad UltraBay II, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of standard and optional features, such as, an FDD, second Li-Ion battery, second HDD, or 20X max. variable speed CD-ROM, in what would normally be just the FDD bay. It will hold a DVD drive, or ZIP drive, when it becomes available. It also can hold the 760 family hard disk drive options if the ThinkPad 770 Second HDD adapter option is used. The installation of a second hard drive in the UltraBay II requires the ThinkPad 770
Second HDD Adapter optional feature. The new Ultrabay II is easy to access because a tray slides out when the release lever is pulled, allowing easy access to add or remove items.

MULTIMEDIA CAPABILITY: Consider the optional DVD and Enhanced Video Adapter Upgrade if you need more advanced and integrated multimedia capability -- 3D audio, and video combined.
