Notes:
(1) MHz only measures microprocessor internal clock speed, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance.
(2) The IBM ThinkPad 770ED is designed to recognize up to 288 MB of addressable memory with the new Mobile Pentium II processor at 266 MHz. 64 MB of new, fast SDRAM SO DIMM system memory (RAM) is standard (32 MB on the system board and 32 MB in one of the expansion slots). Current available memory options allow memory expansion up to 160 MB using two 64 MB SDRAM SO DIMMs in the two user accessible slots for memory expansion. One of these slots is currently occupied with a 32 MB SDRAM that provides the standard 64 MB of system memory. This 32 MB SDRAM would have to be removed and replaced with a 64 MB SDRAM to achieve the 160MB maximum. Memory expansion beyond 160 MB will depend on the availability of memory options larger than 64 MB SDRAM SO DIMMs that meet IBM ThinkPad 770 specifications Such availability cannot be guaranteed.
(3) GB equals 1,000 million bytes and MB equals one million bytes when referring to hard disk. Capacity accessible for end-user may be less.
(4) ThinkPad Proven Products are offered and tested by a third party manufacturer. Not warranted or supported by IBM.
(5) Actual weight may vary.

KEYBOARD AND TRACKPOINT WITH ENHANCED FEATURES: The keyboard has the familiar layout of a ThinkPad notebook with a function key capability that allows you to quickly access system functions, such as power management control. There is a larger palm-rest area. The TrackPoint pointing device with enhanced features incorporates the new "Press-to- Select" and "Release-to-Select" function of the TrackPoint.
Just tap the TrackPoint itself to speed icon launches and reduce keystrokes. The new programmable center button enables fast scrolling of Web sites and documents or fast panning across wide spreadsheets. Or, switch to the INNOVATIVE MAGNIFYING GLASS feature to enlarge screen views in any application.
PROCESSOR: The system has a 266MHz Pentium II Mobile processor, 512KB of L2 cache, providing exceptional performance.
MEMORY: The ThinkPad 770ED systems are designed to use 144-pin, 64-bit SDRAM SO DIMM, 3 V, non-parity memory. 64 MB of new, fast SDRAM SO DIMM system memory (RAM) is standard (32 MB on the system board and 32 MB in one of the expansion slots).
The ThinkPad 770ED is also designed to recognize up to 288 MB of addressable memory. (Current available memory options allow memory expansion up to 160 MB using two 64MB SDRAM SO DIMMs in the two user accessible slots for memory expansion.) One of these slots is currently occupied with a 32 MB SDRAM that provides the standard 64 MB of system memory. This 32 MB SDRAM must be removed and replaced with a 64 MB SDRAM to achieve the 160 MB maximum.
Memory expansion beyond 160 MB will depend on the availability of memory options larger than 64 MB SDRAM SO DIMMs that meet IBM ThinkPad 770 specifications. This availability cannot be guaranteed.
PCMCIA: The Type III slot accommodates either two Type I, two Type II, or one Type III PC card. The slot supports the CardBus adapters(6) PC card and the ZV (Zoomed Video) adapter.
(6) currently available in DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95.
STORAGE: The customer-removable, customer-installable standard hard drive holds up to 8.1 GB of data. The 1.44 MB diskette drive (FDD) comes standard. The FDD can either be plugged directly into the UltraBay II, or used externally with the cable supplied with the system. It comes in its own enclosure.
THINKPAD ULTRABAY II: The ThinkPad UltraBay II, also standard with the system, is an intelligent bay that switches its pinout signals to allow the installation of standard and optional features in what would normally be just the FDD bay.
UltraBay II accommodates:
o Second Li-Ion battery
o Second HDD
o An FDD or CD-ROM or a DVD drive or ZIP drive
o The 760 family hard disk drive options if the ThinkPad 770 Second HDD adapter option is used
