The i700m with the $750 off $1499 coupon was one of the best purchases I've made in a long time. I am really digging that machine.

Hopefully I'll get one at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. I've liked this system a lot for a while now, and I guess it's time to change my signature.

Since when was the 700m an ultra portable? o.O? Ultra portables are around 10 inches no?

if you check the dimensions, 10.6" vs 12.1" are almost the same o_O

but 12.1" is still considered ultraportable, with 13.3"-~15" being standard, mainstrem, thin and light, depending on their weight, and 15.4"-17" being desktop replacement, once again depending on their weight

10.6" is usually a pound or so lesser than 12.1"..being called ultraportable, thin-and-light depends on weight really, desktop replacement depends on power you're kind of expecting a heavy weight, and mainstream is just expected to be cheap.

700m is considered the heavy side of ultraportable, just before thin-and-light, but it's dimensions are pretty damn ultraportable =]

Yeah I don't think the 700m can actually fall into the true ultraportable category. Those laptops are usually around 3lbs or less, like the sony T or Latitude X1 (which is a 12.1" ultraportable). I don't think the screen size/dimensions matter, it's the weight. I think about it this way, I woulnd't mind carrying around a 15" widescreen if it was only 3lbs!

10.6" screens are too small for me. 12.1" is about the smallest I would buy.

I like to have the smallest and lightest notebooks, but I don't want to have to squint to see what is on the screen, either! 14" wide is the way to go!
