Why did the Thinkpad 701 become a cult legend in computer history?
It was the expanding butterfly keyboard that gave you an 11.5" wide keyboard from a 10" wide laptop. Super cool for it’s day, but not really a problem that needs solving anymore. Nobody seems to be clamoring for the nipple mouse anymore either.
