I promised ya'll a message after I had used the 765D for a while. I'll do my best not to encourage any screen envy among the group! Since I was most recently using a 760XD, the only difference between that and the 765D is the display size (going up to 13.3" from 12.1"). The resolution (1024x768x64K) is the same, the processor (166MMX) is the same, the hard-drive (3GB) is the same, and so on. I have added a 64MB DIMM to get a usable 88MB (you have to kill 8MB on the motherboard when you add a 64MB DIMM). I'm running NT Workstation. In fact, I just pulled the disk out of the 760XD and slapped it into the 765. Booted it and have been running ever since. The bottom line: The screen is *HUGE*. In fact, it's so large that at first I had to adjust to it! I was used to the 12.1 display and effectively taking in the entire screen with reasonably clear peripheral vision. With the 13.3 display and the distance to it dictated by using the keyboard, there seems to me to be more eye movement now. It didn't take long for me to adjust to it, but it was a surprise that I thought I'd share with you all! With this machine, I am more convinced than ever that I do not need a "desktop" machine any more. The only use I can think of is for high-end graphics requiring better resolution than is possible on an LCD today (true color and more pixels). Other than that, I think this machine is wonderful -- even for eyes that are heading on that age-induced downslope. In short -- the premium Thinkpad. Highly recommended for all the reasons you love Thinkpads, plus an awesome display. -- Steve Hultquist, President Worldwide Solutions, Inc.
