However, I agree on screens - I would much rather have the 10.5" TFT screen on my 701 (which disappears forever this week, alas) than the 11.3" DSTN on my 560 (which I'm just getting acclimated to). If someone offered me an omnibus paribus swap of my 560 P133 2gig for a 560 P100 810mb 12.1"TFT, I'd take it. During a conference last summer I shared a flat with a colleague with a HP Omnibook 800. I thought it was a *very* nice machine: 2nd best form factor in the business (after the TP701), bright screen, good keyboard. I even liked the popout mouse, though in that I am apparently in the minority. - David
