For a while Micro Warehouse was selling refurbed 701c/75mhz/540 machines for$999; the catch was that they only gave a 90 day warrantee. D'vegro gives the full warrantee, which IMHO is the single most valuable part of the 701. It is awfully hard to put a true value on the 701, because it is so unique; it is adequate for almost anything people use laptop computers for, and it is one of only 2 machines I know (the small HP subnotes being the other) which fit fully on commuter plane tray tables:-) Form factor is what kept the Tandy 100 portables on the market so much longer than the technology would have suggested. I've just cut a deal with IBM to replace my 701 with a 560; it was a very difficult decision to make, despite the probably market value of the latter being twice that of the former, because of the form factor and warrantee. - David R.
