Re: 560 vs. 701



At 1024x768, I think a 12+" screen is important, but at 800x600,
I find the 10.4" screen of my 755cx to be adequately sized.
I don't understand why the 560 test marketing found enormous
screens to be so important.  I don't think I'll be seriously
tempted to buy a 560 until they come out with a 1024x768 model,
though I hope that will be pretty soon.  Alternatively, a 
thinner, lighter 701 with an 800x600 screen (10.4") would be
nice.  Also, CPU speed usually shouldn't be so important.
Today's Pentiums are 100x faster than the vaxes some of us
used to use, but they don't make us 100x more productive.
I'd gladly stick with a 75 mhz Pentium (or even 486) instead
of a 120 or 133 mhz model, if it added an hour or two to 
operating time on a battery charge.
