A couple folks on this list did some tests with the upgrade,
and I'm sure they'll chime in. It wasn't all that impressive,
though it might be worth it if money didn't mean much to you.
Due to its unique form factor and butterfly keyboard, there's
a pretty good used market for 701's. I'd expect you could get
around $300-$400 for it, more if you find the right buyer.
