Thinkpad 701 advice

[eyrich@zedat.fu-berlin.de (Christoph Eyrich)]

The size of the 701 is a very convincing factor!

But: don't take the DualScan model. I haven't seen the TFT one yet but
compared to the TFT of the 755CX and even to the mono of the old 720
it's pretty disappointing (the old mono with its 16 gray shades is
much sharper...).
