The IBM ThinkPad 700 (also named model 700 PS/2) is the first notebook computer for the ThinkPad brand that was released by IBM on October 5, 1992. Another series was released alongside it, the ThinkPad 300 series. The 300 series was meant to be a cheaper, lower performance model line over the 700. It was developed as a successor to the L40SX.

The ThinkPad 700 is the first laptop model ever with a pointing stick to control the cursor, under the IBM brand name of TrackPoint.

It was generally received positively by reviewers, although it had a high price and shorter battery life.
