I can confirm that it is indeed a pretty good machine; I've had my 
380ED about two weeks now (166mmx, 2.1gb, 16mb ram) and it is fast 
(even with just 16mb) , the keyboard is superb.  Model number is 
26355au.  (It's one of the ones with a $200 rebate from IBM, which 
makes the price very nice)

Mine is the FRSTN type.  I had a 701C active previously.  Yes, the 
380ED is a little less "crisp" and fast than a TFT, but the dual scan 
technology in this one is world's better than the older IBM dual 
scans.  I have no complaints about it so far.

YMMV.
