Hi, is there any differences between 770 570 600 390. Besides the weight, casing, screen size.. I know that pentium one uses the 430 chipset and doesn't have agp support while 440 chipset have agp.
I know that the 390 is the heaviest? 600 is a lighter one. I don't know anything else about 770 and 570 besides they use different video chipset. Thanks

At the time, the 390 was the entry level system. It was bulky, thick, relatively heavy but had all the drives built in, was sturdy and for the most part, reliable.

The 570 and 600 are thin, light and very much alike except the 600 had rubberized casing, internal cd-rom and had cpu's ranging form the mmc1 Pentium MMX in the 600, the mmc2 PII in the 600E and the mmc2 PIII in the 600x. The 570 was thinner than the 600, lighter than the 600, had a light grey somewhat metallic finish and came in two versions, the 570 which had a Pentium II and the 570E which had a Pentium III. The 570 had no internal removable media drives but did have an attachment that had the drives in it.

The 770 was IBM's high end laptop in it's time. At the time, it was fast, had a great screen and caried a lot of multimedia features. It was a good laptop but torwards the end of it's production run, the 600 and 570 laptops were just as fast and had screens just as good but the computers themselves were lighter and thinner.
