I just checked the MicroWarehouse site www.microwarehouse.com - the 560 listed for $1289 is for the 11.3" dual scan model, not the active matrix screen. The 560 with the 12.1" active screen is $2389. I had to double check that, since it sounded too good to be true! Still, $2389 for the TFT version is not that bad of a price from what I have seen. I believe that the 560 uses EDO DRAM, so the 701 memory (along with other considerations) is not compatible. Unfortunatley I've never used a 560, so I can't comment on the rest. However, Emanuel Brown recently bought one of these and posted a review on comp.sys.laptops. This review is probably on his web page now.
