Echo Azure is an iconic 701C, AKA Butterfly. The name Echo Azure comes from a species of butterfly with blue irridescent wings.
This machine has been a very difficult project. Brittle plastic, sticky rubberized paint, missing accessories, severe battery damage, failing system boards, and even capacitors going up in flame, this machine has been through a lot.
Unfortunately because of all of this I tend not to use this machine much. I prefer to keep it stored away safely so I don't have to repair it again.

Detailing everything I've done to restore Echo Azure is going to take a while, so I'll fill that in later.
