A notebook computer like no other

Introducing the ThinkPad(R) 701C and 701CS notebooks,
two brand-new machines from IBM that will change the
way you think about portable computers. Tipping the
scale at a mere 4.5 pounds**, the featherweight
ThinkPad 701C and 701CS notebooks measure 9.7" by 7.9"
by 1.7" -- the ultimate in portability. Simply slip one
into a briefcase or bag, and take it wherever you go!

Just remember...a ThinkPad 701 is one notebook that
can't be judged by its cover. That's because these tiny
dynamos pack some powerful surprises under the lid.

TrackWrite: The no-apologies keyboard

For starters, open a ThinkPad 701 and you ll find IBM's
revolutionary new TrackWrite expanding keyboard with
the TrackPoint III(TM) pointing device. It's full-size,
with 85 full-size keys and the responsive touch you
expect from an IBM keyboard.

This engineering marvel is designed, tested and
manufactured to perform flawlessly, day in and day out,
under the most demanding business use.

Display your work in dazzling color

There's another big surprise waiting inside your
ThinkPad 701 -- a full-size 10.4-inch (measured
diagonally) color display with accelerated local-bus
graphics. Choose a ThinkPad 701C for incredibly crisp
and vivid active-matrix TFT display, or look to the
701CS for more economical dual-scan color.

Power and storage to go

Make no mistake. ThinkPad 701 notebooks are speedy and
powerful business computers that can handle demanding
business programs and graphics-intensive applications
with ease. Simply select the processor, storage and
expandable memory configuration that best meets your
needs.

It's a fax...it's a phone...it's a sound machine!

If it's a ThinkPad 701, it's all three. You can send
faxes and e-mail, call the office, add words and music
to presentations...all right out of the box. That's
because every ThinkPad 701 comes loaded with a premium
set of integrated functions:

o 14.4Kbps data/fax modem
o Computer telephony, including full-duplex
speakerphone and automated digital answering machine
o Advanced 16-bit audio subsystem with 18-voice
MIDI music synthesis, plus Sound Blaster(TM) and Sound
Blaster Pro(TM) support for most games.

Look! No cables! It's infrared!

Now you can synchronize information between your
notebook, your desktop computer and your organizer,
print documents from your notebook and exchange files
with other people...all without cables or wires! An
integrated infrared port enables wireless file transfer
and file synchronization between your ThinkPad 701C or
701CS notebook and:

o Other ThinkPad 701 notebooks
o ThinkPad 755CE/CSE/CD notebooks
o Other infrared-equipped, IrDA-compatible notebooks,
electronic organizers, printers or desktop PCs.

Loads of software

We've preinstalled a generous selection of software
programs(3) -- more than 15 in all, including OS/2(R)
Warp on all 75MHz models, plus PC DOS and Windows(TM) -
- to help you take advantage of your ThinkPad 701's
advanced technology. Call it "instant
productivity"...and added value!

Flexible desktop expansion

The MultiPort II that comes standard with every
ThinkPad 701C and 701CS delivers a full complement of
ports for simple, one-step connection to desktop
peripherals. Your ThinkPad 701 also comes standard with
an external diskette drive. Plus, the optional ThinkPad
Dock II with the ThinkPad 701 Dock II Adapter Kit(5)
lets you transform your notebook into a full-featured
desktop PC with access to additional slots and bays.

IBM HelpWare service and support

Perhaps the most important feature of your ThinkPad 701
is the service and support you get from IBM
HelpWare(R)...available at no additional charge to you
during your warranty period:

o Three-year warranty with International Warranty
Service(4)
o ThinkPad EasyServ(6), (7) door-to-door courier
repair service
o Around-the-clock support from the IBM
HelpCenter(R) (excluding certain holidays)
