Background

About the IBM ThinkPad 500 Series

Sold 1993–2000

IBM ThinkPad 500 Series was IBM's line of small and thin laptops in the 1990s. It opened with the ThinkPad 500, announced on 16 June 1993, a subcompact laptop with a 50 MHz 486SLC2 processor, followed in March 1994 by the 510 with a 7.7-inch colour display.

From 1996 the 560 changed the formula to a thin, light machine with a full-size keyboard and a 12.1-inch screen, with the floppy drive carried externally, and the 570 of 1999 added a detachable UltraBase holding the drive bays. The X series took over this part of the range in 2000. On surviving machines the battery packs are long dead, and original hard drives and screen backlights are at the end of their service life.
