" Well, I'd be willing to pay *more* than the $1500 I shelled out for my DX4-75 if the model was updated with a Lithium-Ion battery, Pentium, 28.8 built-in modem, >1GB drive, and if the keyboard port was built into the machine rather than on the port replicator (I don't like having to take the MultiPort just because I wanna use my QuickCam somewhere). It shouldn't be as high as they were asking originally because with the advent of larger screens, they should be able to cut quite a deal on 10.4" displays. Make it around $2500 and I'd be interested. Should be doable with all existing tech and form-factors in use already. I'd pay more if they could get Toshiba-like performance out of the design (Thinkpads just don't benchmark well against the competition until you cross the $5000 mark, darn it!) Odds are my next laptop will be a Kiwi. I'd put up with the weight for the easy upgrade ability of those unit. That's a ways off yet, though; I'm still enjoying my 701! epbrown epbrown@enteract.com Laptop Central http://www.enteract.com/~epbrown
