The 760XD is not on IBM's web site because it is not due to be released officially until 4/15. This model replaces the 760ED & 760E. It will ship with 32meg, 3gb drive, and 8x CD-Rom as reported by PC Week (I have it on very good authority that this is true.) Considering the short supply of 13.3" LCD's, I greatly doubt IBM will be introducing one all that soon.

Subject:	new tpad - advice?

So... I've made the decision to upgrade my 755CE. I see in CompUSA's
site that there is a Thinkpad 760XDwith a 166Mhz MMX Pentium, funnily
enough this model is not on www.pc.ibm.com anyone got one of these,
what's your impression. I need to run NT, DOS (for games) and Linux so
a disk greater than 2Gb would be good, is this possible? Should I hang
on a bit longer, anyone heard of any fab Thinkpads in the offing,maybe
with 13" screens from Sharp's Wide Aperture Technology. Any hints
welcomed. TIA
