The PS/2 CL57SX was a microchannel laptop (with a microchannel slot in its
docking station) and a really nice TFT screen. It cost about $10K new.

The first models of ThinkPad were the 300, 500, and 700.

The CL57SX was actually the last PS/2 noteboook. Before it were the
N51SX, N45SL, N41SC, L40SX, P75, and the P70. The P75 and P70 were
lunchbox-style. There was also the weird little PS/2e.

Peace... Sridhar
