I've had a 750 (mono!) for over 3 years now and am generally very happy with it.
I upgraded my RAM from 12MB to 36MB and the disk from 170MB to 1GB.
You can use standard 2.5" disks to upgrade from the originals, just keep the
caddy from the original drive, and you have
to cut the track to the master/slave select lines on the ribbon cable between the
system board and HD.
It's not very fast, but with the RAM upgrade both
linux and W95 work acceptably fast for now.
I mainly wanted the machine to work on while travelling, and so battery life is
important to me. I get about 3hours life even with heavy disk use, which I may
not get from a shiny new Pentium!!
My major gripes, apart from the CPU speed are that the mono screen is small
(9.5"), and hard to see in bright light.
PS I'd be interested in anyone who has a broken 75x, or 360,
with a good screen which can use my disk, memory, and battery, so I can have
a slightly larger colour screen!!
