I just checked the MicroWarehouse site www.microwarehouse.com - the 560
listed for $1289 is for the 11.3" dual scan model, not the active matrix
screen. The 560 with the 12.1" active screen is $2389.
I had to double check that, since it sounded too good to be true! Still,
$2389 for the TFT version is not that bad of a price from what I have seen.
I believe that the 560 uses EDO DRAM, so the 701 memory (along with other
considerations) is not compatible.
Unfortunatley I've never used a 560, so I can't comment on the rest.
However, Emanuel Brown recently bought one of these and posted a review on
comp.sys.laptops. This review is probably on his web page now. Here is the
address:

Hope this helps...
