> Open the cover of the new ThinkPad(R) 760L or LD -- see the 10.4-inch
> (measured diagonally) VGA TFT display and the styling of the tilted
> keyboard with built-in palm rest -- and you will realize that you are
> experiencing IBM's new generation of ThinkPad notebooks.  Add to that
> a fast Pentium 90/60MHz processor with internal cache (90MHz is the
> processor internal speed and 60MHz is the speed at the bus),
> large-capacity hard disk storage (up to 2.4GB* using two optional
> 1.2GB hard disk drives (HDDs) in the 760LD and up to 2.16GB using two
> optional 1.08GB HDDs in the 760L with both installed in the ThinkPad
> Ultrabay(TM)), dual Infrared (IR) transceivers, 16M (million) color
> support, and highly functional ThinkPad UltraBay -- you have most
> everything you need, in a compact, light-weight notebook.
>
> These new color models of the ThinkPad family emphasize fast
> performance and advanced function at a lower price.  Consider the
> ThinkPad 760LD system if you need more advanced capability -- CD-ROM,
> audio, and video combined.  The integrated, removable (4X) CD-ROM
> drive (150/600 Kbps), Sound Blaster-compatible audio (ESS), and a
> port for the external attachment of the floppy disk drive (FDD),
> stereo speakers, and other features set it apart from the rest of the
> ThinkPad family.
>
> A 760L or 760LD system combined with any one of the four IBM docking
> solutions can easily become your primary personal computer, providing
> an alternative to a desktop system unit.
>
> Also announced today is the ability to order 760L/LD systems without
> any operating systems or applications preinstalled on the hard drive.
> Orders must be for pallet quantities (24 systems) only.  The pallet
> will not include any preinstalled software, software manuals,
> software licenses, or the software envelope.
