IBM ThinkPad 770 was a laptop designed and manufactured byIBM targeted for the business, enterprise and professional user. It was the last lineup in theThinkPad 700-series, succeeding the760 as the high-end laptop of the ThinkPad lineup. The line was produced from October 1997 to May 2000, and eventually replaced by the ThinkPad models A20m and A20p.
The first 770s were shipped with eitherWindows NT4 or95, but later shipped with98 pre-installed. They were equipped withIBM'sUltrabay II, allowing for the option of either aCD-ROM,floppy drive or 2nd battery.
One notable feature of the ThinkPad 770 is that it was the first laptop available with a DVD-ROM[1] option in addition to a USB port and AC-3 support.
The first 770s featured anIntelPentium I processor running at 233 MHz but with an optional 266 MHz upgrade. Later models introduced theIntelPentium II mobile processor, and because these 770s use a certain processor socket, many have had success installing much more powerful processors generating up to 850 MHz. Although most models run at the 1024x768 resolution, some later models are capable of the 1280x1024 resolution. All useTrident Cyber 9397 graphics chips with 2MB memory in the 770, 4MB memory in the 770E/770ED, and 4 or 8MB memory in the 770X/770Z, depending on the resolution.[2]
