ThinkPad 760

IBM ThinkPad 760 was a notebook computer introduced in 1995 by the IBM corporation into the market as part of the ThinkPad 700-series. It was succeeded in 1998 by the ThinkPad 770 series.

The 760-series of the IBM ThinkPad was available at the time of its production as the most state of the art notebook available to the public by IBM. It used the Intel Pentium processor, and utilized EDO RAM soldered onto the motherboard to prevent booting without usable RAM, and the ability to easily exchange critical hardware components, such as the Hard Drive, Battery, Option hardware that can fit in the UltraBay, and the RAM. This model also featured the unique keyboard that could slide upward on the back side on rails to "flip up" towards the user and provide a more ergonomic feel.

The 760C and L models did not provide space for an optical drive and were a thinner form factor similar in size and shape to the outgoing 755 series. This is despite the fact the 755 range accommodated its own optical drive.

The later 765 models were another form factor again, having a larger footprint more akin to the 770-series.

Note – the "D" in the model number signifies the machine had the updated chassis with provision for fitment of a CD-ROM drive, or when using an adapter plate, an internal floppy disk drive. The models without the "D" didn't officially come with the updated chassis.
