About the Project

Thinkpad 1

Welcome to my restoration journey of the iconic IBM ThinkPad 701cs, also known as the Butterfly laptop. This website documents the process of bringing this piece of technology history back to life. This website will also serve as a helpful guide if you want to start your own restoration or are in need of information. Keep in mind, this site is still very early and under construction!
