Re: Thoughts on the 560 "Kite"



thanks Randy for your long and detailed review, one point:

"        AVAILABILITY:  The P120 w/ 810 MB HD isn't too hard to find.  The
P133 w/ 1.05 GB HD is impossible to find.  I chose the P120 route because I
figured its only about 10% slower in the CPU (not a big issue for me,
especially moving up from a 486-75), the 1.05 GB still wasn't as big as I
*really* wanted (while the 810 MB was still a bit bigger than I currently
have in my 701, so I figured it could still suit my needs with the use of"

I wonder if this calculation is right. I have been quite surprised to find
that my 133MHz Tecra is well over twice as fast as my 90MHz 760CD. The
one benchmark I saw showed the 133MHz thinkpad as slightly faster than the
Tecra, so let's assume that it is at least *as* fast.

That means that I am seeing something other than raw MHz speed of the 
processor (disk and memory are comparable).
