Re: [Thinkpad] IBM 701 BUTTERFLY THINKPAD

I beg to differ;

A a30/x30 with a 14/15" lcd and a exterior of 13"x10" is by
no means classified as a sub notebook and more so in comparison
to the 701 which has 10.4" lcd and an exterior of 9"x 8"

Even IBM doesn't classify the a30/x30 as sub notebooks.

I believe I read somewhere once a sub notebook is defined by
it not having ultra bays, measuring 9x8 and below, it's lcd no
bigger than 10.4" ~ but more importantly, it's keyboard size !
The main reason the ButterFly earned it's ranks was because of
the butterfly retractable keyboard.

These reasons alone offering a full 85 key keyboard and being
classified as a sub notebook blew the competition out the door.
