Could not agree more. The keyboard of my old TP 700 (really old and
still going) is better than that of my new TP 701CS. Better "feel",
excellent response, better than some of the "grown-up" keyboards out
there. I can't say the same about the trackpoint mouse though, the stick
thing system is much better on my 701, so I use a regular mouse for my
700, or at least I used to.
