From left to right, bottom row then top.
755C, 50MHz 486DX2, 20MB, needs a new battery
755CX, Pentium 75MHz, 8MB, Mute (No mwave,) also needs a new battery

600E, P2 366MHz, 196MHz, Battery works, I also have the external floppy case and a floppy drive
(Not pictured) 600E, P2 300MHz, 64MB, Bad battery and I don't have an UltraBay device for it

Very nice looking herd! All of them appear to be in very good physical condition as well.
Keep up the good work...or shall we say addiction...

Nice collection and nice picture setting!

They all seem to be immaculate, so you have either done a good job sourcing them or you have restored them. And nice to see them turned on, displaying the desktop.

The backdrop was mainly to hide the messy room!
Anyway, most of them are in very good condition, aside from scratches on the lids. The T23 is missing its cardbus slow door and the T60p is beat up quite badly, currently it needs a fix for the frame and new hinges. Most of the good looks are from a lot of refurbishment, although I received most in good condition anyway.

Awesome collection you got there, and all in pretty good shape! Amazing how the Thinkpad design has stayed so similar with those models.

You may think the room is in a mess but that looks one very appealing Thinkpad showroom to me!

The backdrop has done a perfect job of hiding my ugly carpet!

That is an impressive collection of Thinkpad history.

You need to swap "right" with "left", and "600E" with "570E".
Isn't that 570E stunning? It's one of the prettiest Thinkpads ever.

It really is.

(Again, click for a larger version.)
Thanks for correcting me, I've fixed that.

You can see a lot of "shapes of things to come" when you view a 570 closely. I always loved these machines. There's a classy simplicity to them which hasn't really been matched later on, although the original T40 - sans the touchpad - does come close.

Yes that 570E I could look at all day. Good base for a Retro I think. Very minimalist but it is just superb.
Great job and thanks for making my day
