What we've all been waiting for



The Pentium upgrade is only for the 755CE/CSE/CD and costs $1149.
Surprisingly the 701 uses a "Super Nicad" instead of NiMH.  Also you now 
have the option of getting OS2 WARP pre-installed.  A lot of caveats with 
this model and alot of options won't be available for a few months.
Also this model appears to use only DIMM memory chips, not the DRAM card.
Thats the end of my comments.  Josh H.

The ThinkPad(R) 701C and 701CS have a new, unique, full-size notebook
keyboard and display in a compact, 4.5-pound package that doesn't
sacrifice an ounce of power or versatility.  The ThinkPad 701C and
701CS systems give you everything you need to meet your business
computing needs when you travel -- anytime, anywhere.
 
The innovative design of the expandable keyboard enables the
full-size, 85-key TrackWrite keyboard to fit in the 7.9- by 9.7- by
1.7-inch package.  The keyboard is cut in half diagonally, so when
you raise the display, the two keyboard halves spread apart, leaving
an overhang of almost an inch on either side of the chassis.  In
addition to the TrackWrite keyboard with TrackPoint III, you also
have a choice of color displays -- Active Matrix or Dual Scan.  Both
displays have a maximum viewable area of 10.4 inches, measured
diagonally.
 
With the high performance of the ThinkPad 701C and 701CS systems, you
have more than enough speed and resource to take complex applications
on the road.  The systems are available with either an Intel** 486
DX2 microprocessor (50/25MHz) and standard 4MB of memory (expandable
to 20MB), or an Intel 486 DX4 microprocessor (75/25MHz) and standard
8MB of memory (expandable to 24MB).
 
Both systems include DOS, Windows+, and a suite of mobile software
applications preinstalled on the hard disk.  In addition, OS/2(R)
Warp Version 3.0 (including BonusPak applications) is available on
DX4-based systems as a preinstalled operating system with dual boot.
 
Many new options are available for the ThinkPad 701C and 701CS, such
as the ThinkPad 701 Dock II Adapter Kit(1), the ThinkPad 701 NiMh
Battery Pack, an AC adapter, and an external floppy diskette drive.
 
ThinkPad Pentium** Upgrade optional features for the ThinkPad 755CE,
CSE, and CD are also available.  The features allow current users of
these systems to upgrade the processor from the IntelDX4** 100MHz to
the Intel Pentium processor for increased performance.
 
Single Unit Price Range:  $3,799 to $5,649 (ThinkPad 701C and 701CS)

   -  LAN Support Program 1.3
   -  PC LAN Program 1.34
 
*     Requires PTF UR07753 for PCMCIA support
 
Limitations
 
Use of Suspend and Hibernate Modes
 
o  If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode with a diskette inserted in
   the diskette drive, the same diskette must be installed in the
   drive before your computer can resume normal operation.
 
o  If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode when resuming the
   operation, the same HDD should be in the system.
 
o  If you enter Suspend or Hibernate mode with a PCMCIA card inserted
   in the PCMCIA slot, the same PCMCIA card must be in the PCMCIA
   slot when resuming operation.
 
o  If you are connected to a local area network (LAN) that
   periodically polls for station activity, your connection may be
   terminated while the computer is in Suspend or Hibernate mode.
   Any software program that was running over the LAN is not
   re-entered when you resume.
 
o  The system does not enter Suspend or Hibernate mode while a PCMCIA
   modem card is in busy status.
 
General Limitations
 
o  The battery will charge in Suspend mode when the power switch is
   in the "on" position but will not charge if the power switch is in
   the "off" position.  The battery will not charge while in
   Hibernation mode.
 
o  Color display drivers for 256 and 64K colors for IBM OS/2 Warp
   Version  3.0 will be included on systems preinstalled with
   OS/2 Warp.  A 16-million-color driver will be added when
   available.  When any additional color drivers become available,
   the drivers will be provided on the IBM PC Company Bulletin Board
   (PCCO BBS).
 
o  IBM recommends 6MB, or higher, system memory and a hard disk size
   of 120MB, or higher, for many application scenarios in the
   OS/2 environment.
 
o  A maximum modem speed of 9600 baud can be used with FaxWorks and
   OS/2 Warp Version 3.0.
 
o  Installation of the software update named WIN311.ZIP is required
   to use a WIN-OS/2(TM) session when OS/2 for WIN is used with
   Windows 3.11.
 
o  The IR functions are not available under native OS/2 sessions at
   this time.
 
o  When using the Redirector feature of the Connectivity Pack for the
   HP 100LX to exchange data over an IR link at 115Kbps, the ThinkPad
   701C and 701CS should be configured as the requestor.
 
o  The modem should not be attached to digital or digital telephone
   PBX systems.  These systems may cause damage to the modem.
 
o  The ThinkPad 701C and 701CS support software fax programs with
   Class 1 fax interface only, not Class 2.
 
o  The IBM Enhanced Mouse (92G7457) cannot be used with TrackPoint
   III.  When using the Enhanced Mouse, TrackPoint III should be
   disabled.
 
o  The system is designed so you can install or remove the PCMCIA
   card without turning off the system, if the PCMCIA card supports
   this function.  Refer to the instructions that come with the
   PCMCIA card.
 
o  When installing two Type II PCMCIA communications cards in the
   PCMCIA slot, there may be some cable interference that allows only
   one card to be used.
 
o  The use of PCMCIA card point enablers is not recommended; you
   should use the IBM PC Card Director.  PCMCIA card point enablers
   may write directly to the hardware, by passing Socket and Card
   Services Release 2.1.  Writing directly to the hardware may cause
   problems that cannot be anticipated.  Also, point enablers may
   interfere with client device drivers that do communicate with
   Socket and Card Services Release 2.1.  Additional customer testing
   in their specific environments is recommended.
 
o  PCMCIA card point enablers usually do not support a slot number
   greater than two.  If using a PCMCIA card with a point enabler,
   ensure that the proper slot is supported by the point enabler.
 
o  The IBM 8516 Touch Screen Color Display and IBM ThinkPad Space
   Saver Keyboard require that the TrackPoint III be disabled before
   you connect them to the system.  To disable the TrackPoint III,
   follow the instructions provided in the ThinkPad 701C and 701CS
   User's Guide.
 
o  Password prompt is not displayed when the computer resumes from
   "partial" Suspend mode while it is attached to the IBM ThinkPad
   Dock II.  However, you must type the correct password to resume.
 
o  All IDE hard disk drives, except the IBM ThinkPad 755 drives that
   are sensed and configured automatically, must be configured as
   "slave" when used with the ThinkPad 701C and 701CS systems using
   file bays in ThinkPad Dock II.
 
Suspend Mode Operational Considerations
 
o  Operating Systems:  The Suspend mode is supported when the PC card
   uses one of the following operating systems:
 
   -  OS/2 Warp Version 3.0
   -  OS/2 2.11, and later
   -  IBM PC DOS 6.3
   -  Microsoft Windows 3.11 with DOS 6.3
 
   Note: Do not remove or install PCMCIA cards during Suspend mode.
 
   When using Windows 3.11, ensure that Advanced Power Management
   (APM) is installed.  The installation instructions are in the
   user's guide Installing Microsoft Windows Version 3.11 (or later).
   Without this step, power management will not work correctly, and
   can cause errors, such as mouse problems after suspend/resume.
 
o  Communications:  When the computer communicates with other systems
   via any communication PC card, the following precautions must be
   considered before using the Suspend function.
 
   -  When the computer is powered by the battery pack, the computer
      automatically turns power off to the PC card before entering
      Suspend mode, so the duration of Suspend mode will last longer.
      Therefore, the computer will not restore the communications
      application when it returns to normal operation from Suspend
      mode, except when the following PCMCIA cards are used:  IBM
      PCMCIA Data/Fax Modem and IBM High Speed PCMCIA Data/Fax Modem.
 
   -  To re-establish communication after suspend mode, restart the
      system or the application program.
 
   -  For non-disruptive battery exchange, you can put the system in
      Suspend mode and exchange battery packs without any loss of
      data or function.
 
Pentium Upgrade Option for ThinkPad 755CE, CSE, and CD:  Installation
of the Pentium Upgrade option in the ThinkPad 755CE, CSE, and CD
disables the parity check function of the system.
