John Kim has an excellent commentary about the virtures & lacks thereof of
the TP701. I'll agree with all of 'em based on my 2-yr+ experience with
one. Withall, I like my 701. It is cute <G>. BUT....
One thing I would add. Background: My 701 is 486/75, 24 megs of ram, TFT
screen, 720 megs of hard drive. My addendum: the machine is SLOWWWW when
running MS Office 97 apps under Win95. There are noticeable lags when
entering data into Excel spreadsheets, text into Word documents, etc. A
second or two, seems like, Enough to be noticeable. These apps need a
pentium processor!
My 701 has been reliable. No failures/problems that have required
returning machine for repair. But overall, I have to recognize that it's
a 3-4 year-old design, and the software coming along now is outpacing it.
Sure wish I could upgrade it with a pentium processor.
