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.
