- I don't know about the competition, but the 700c is very slick! The
- Active Matrix screen looks just as good as a large monitor (Wolfenstein
- looks great on it :) ) That little thing they put in the keyboard (
- I think it's called trackpoint?) was a great idea. It takes some getting
- used to but offers a very good alternative to a cumbersome mouse.
- Just my observations from our school's system evaluation lab.
