Hi, I'm a newbie to this list so if I am asking a stupid question just suggest that I check back through the old correspondence or read a FAQ or something. I wanted to buy the TP755CDV so that I can do overhead projector presentations, but have held off so far in case IBM comes out with a 760 (larger screen, 800x600, faster CDRom) with the same capability. Does anyone know if there is any chance of this? Also it is not obvious from the spec sheets whether there is a significant difference between the MPEG video capabilities of the two models. The 755CDV is said to have "enhanced video card provides video acceleration, composite in/out, motion video capture and overlay ..." The 760 is worded similarly "hardware assisted software motion video acceleration for fluid full-screen playback of MPEG 1, MPEG 2 ..." So my questions are, does the 760 have some extra hardware acceleration or not. And if it does, does it only need it for expanding an MPEG picture to fill the 800x600 screen size (which the 755CDV doesn't have). Or in other words, is the 755CDV capable of "fluid full-screen playback of MPEG 1 and MPEG 2" on it's little 640x480 screen with the 75MHz pentium that it comes with. I would welcome any comments which help me to make up my mind whether to wait or go ahead and purchase. Thanks in Advance John Winterflood
