I was suprised they didn't have the DEC HiNote Ultra II in the list, but apparently DEC is in the middle of changing model lines. What was no suprise was the high marks for the 560. If you can afford it, there is *NO* competition for it in the laptop market (yet). I'm hoping to see some soon, cause I *really* want to upgrade my old NEC box and I want something with a bit more kick than the current models. > I think I'm going to take courage in hand and get a Fujitsu Lifebook > 635 or so.
