yes, it's an IBM Thinkpad, but I have never seen this model before. That keyboard seems interesting.

Butterfly. It won a bunch of design awards.

IBM Thinkpad... they were super good machines, very rugged. One was in my Silicon Sports backpack when I fell on ice at work.

I died three times.

The laptop that I fell on was just fine.

Ah memories. When that ThinkPad 701/butterfly keyboard came out, all of the executives at the client company I was working for at the time had to have one. Truly a "status" machine.
