sorry for the formatting, but:

IBM will introduce a ThinkPad 560 "thin-and-light" notebook next
                 month that features Intel Corp.'s new mobile 233MHz Pentium
                 processor with MMX Technology, industry sources said.

                 Analysts said IBM would be the first vendor to ship a
thin-and-light
                 notebook that uses the processor. Such notebooks are generally
defined
                 as being 1.25-inches or less thick and weighing under 5 pounds.

                 The ThinkPad 560 is 1.2-inches thick and weighs about 4 pounds.

                 "As far as thin-and-light notebooks go, the 560 is the winner
as far as
                 market share," said Katrina Dahlquist, an analyst at
International Data
                 Corp., in Framingham, Mass. "[IBM] likes to be first with new
                 technology."

                 The new ThinkPad 560 will be available in early November.
Pricing
                 should not exceed IBM's current $4,399 sticker for its
top-of-the-line
                 notebook, sources said.
