The one I saw did not have the little plate with the model number and
letter designation on it, and I didn't think to ask. The sign over the
display just said ThinkPad 765. (Did I mention that the screen was
*HUGE*?? <g>)

Supposedly, the TP765 announcement will be made this Tuesday. You can read
it here then:

I also saw the TP380 - very nice machine, but I don't like the thickness
required to accomodate both the CD and the floppy drives. I had one of the
Dell XPI CD P150 machines for a while (gave it back to my manager and said
I'd rather keep my 486 TP755CE - the screen was terrible and the keyboard
was worse). It was thick like the new TP380, and with my short fingers, I
had problems picking it up and carrying it around. Between the slick case
and the thickness, I always felt like I was about to drop it.
