`
`RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C 11 Sep 2000: . . . IBM today announced the ThinkPad X Series, the ultraportable notebook computer designed
`to provide workers on the move with a better experience in extrathin and extralight mobile computing.
`
`The X Series notebooks are slimmer than a deck of cards (about one inch thin), and lighter than a halfgallon of milk (travel weight starting at 3.1
`pounds) and feature a 12.1inch TFT thin film transistor (TFT) display.
`
`These small, light and fullfeatured systems exemplify IBM's legendary ThinkPad heritage and expertise including innovative design and industry
`leading technology, combined with enhanced easeofuse and connectivity solutions in a single product. Optimized for today's mobile users, the new
`ThinkPad X20 is packed with powerful performance capabilities for personalized ebusiness computing.
`New Product Line
`With today's announcement, IBM has now completed a major transition of its awardwinning ThinkPad line under new designations that more clearly
`define the mobile solutions that satisfy specific customer needs. The X Series indicates an extralight, extrasmall ultraportable notebook computer for
`users who are extremely mobile. Earlier this year, IBM announced the T Series for users who need a thin and light high performance notebook
`computer for frequent travel; the A Series for users who want an alternative to a desktop computer; and the i Series, for growing businesses, students
`and individuals who want the quality and style of a ThinkPad notebook at the most affordable price.
`
`"The new ThinkPad notebooks are designed to dramatically improve the overall user experience," said Fran O'Sullivan, general manager, IBM mobile
`computing. "Customers are demanding that notebooks designed for the mobile worker be thin and light, embrace the latest advanced technologies, and
`connect seamlessly to other digital devices. The ThinkPad X Series gives our customers all that and much more."
`
`Commonality across ThinkPad commercial product lines means that customers, especially in enterprises, can now interchange a variety of devices
`including port replicator and docking solutions, Communications Bay Mini PCI cards, UltraPort connector solutions, memory and power adapters
`across the ThinkPad T, A and X Series lines.
`
`The new ThinkPad X20 also offers a compact flash slot for use with devices such as IBM's innovative new 1GB Microdrive. As the need for mobility
`continues to drive usage of multiple devices, the compact flash form factor is gaining increasing acceptance as a peripheral of choice for technologies
`ranging from memory to communications. By incorporating the compact flash slot, the X20 provides users with a seamless way to transfer information
`between devices such as digital cameras and handheld information devices.
`
`ThinkPad X Series models are powered by Intel Mobile Pentium III processors (at 600MHz5) a special version just for ultraportables that runs at a
`lower voltage geared to enhance the onthego user experience or Mobile Celeron processors (at 500MHz).
`Wireless Options
`For wireless LAN connectivity, an optional industrystandard 802.11b LAN PC Card, as well as the Access Point base station, are available today.
`Bluetooth wireless technology options, including a PC Card (available in October) and a device for the UltraPort connector (planned availability fourth
`quarter), will simplify shortrange devicetodevice connectivity.
`
`"Surging demand for ultraportables is occurring on the heels of design enhancements that offer more flexibility to mobile workers," said Randy Giusto,
`vice president of mobile and desktop research at IDC. "Commonality of options is now the mantra of enterprise buyers, and users are demanding
`support for new technologies such as compact flash, new media types, and wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and 802.11."
`
`Consistent with IBM's EdgeoftheNetwork (EoN) strategy, an initiative which helps customers take advantage of ebusiness solutions by delivering
`products that are enduser optimized and easy to use, ThinkPad X Series models feature:
`Titanium composite construction to protect the X Series from the wear and tear of travel
`A onebutton link to Access ThinkPad and the ThinkPad Assistant* for the information users need to set up, learn about and enhance their notebook,
`including a link to the new ThinkPad Community Web page (ibm.com/thinkpad/community) and an onsystem user's guide
`The legendary ThinkPad keyboard with the patented TrackPoint* pointing device
`A ThinkLight* keyboard light on top edge of display that allows for work in lowlight conditions
`An easy open cover that enables users to open and close the ThinkPad X Series with one hand
`The innovative UltraPort connector on top of the display edge for attaching options such as a digital camera and future products including an array
`microphone and wireless solution
