I considered the same issue until I learned that IBM will soon be shipping a Pentium upgrade to the 755CD. With the upgrade in place, the CX has three primary advantages: thinner (the CD adds about 0.25in or 0.625cm), better screen (800x600 instead of 640x480), and longer battery life (Li+ instead of NiMH). I've also heard rumors that IBM may make Li+ batteries available for the entire 755 series late this year. For me, the integrated multimedia features were worth the reduced screen resolution and slightly increased size. The CD-ROM drive is useful for more than just games. I am a multimedia designer and use he CD-ROM drive for stock media libraries, CD-ROM-based interactive presentations, and portable database access. Even if you aren't a heavy multimedia user, keep the 755CD+Pentium upgrade option in mind. Pentium power shouldn't be the primary motivation for going with the CX--though there are other reasons that may be compelling in your case.
