Thinkpad in movie Contact? *PIC*

#1 Post by control » Sun Apr 04, 2010 4:03 pm

In the movie Jodie Foster's character uses a thinkpad almost exclusively, anyone know which model it is? Trying to find a screenshot, not having much luck.

I had a carrying case similar to the one JF used in the movie.
Great flick based on a great book. Carl died way too young.
