IBM’S NEW THINKPAD 770 HAS SLEW OF MULTIMEDIA FEATURES

By CBR Staff Writer

IBM duly unveiled its new line of mobile computers, the ThinkPad 770 series, at Intel Corp’s Tillamook processor launch earlier this week (CI No 3,241, 3,242). IBM is fielding a range of multimedia features, and the new line of machines come with either 13.3 or 14.1 inch screens, DVD-ROM drive support, 3-D surround sound Dolby Digital audio and 32MB SDRAM as standard. The 770 range has up to 5.1Gb of hard disk and an optional Iomega Zip drive offering a further 100Mb of detachable storage. The IBM ThinkPad 770 will be available from mid-October. It costs between $6,000 and $7,200 depending on configuration and uses either the 200MHz or the 233MHz version of the new 0.25 micron Pentium with MMX, said by Intel to consume 50% less power than previous generations of chips, giving greater savings in battery time.
