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.

I doubt what you suggest is feasible at $2500, looking at "the pricing of other thinkpads. " I don't know about that. Doesn't the 365X come with a lot of those features? My last issue of USAFlex catalog lists this model for $1999 with a Pentium 100, 810MB HDD, has the 16-bit sound and built-in port, it's just missing the modem and Lit-Ion technology.
