I bought a 760ED for $148 on Ebay, they certainly are a good buy.
I would recommend one with 12.1 TFT. All the 760-series has the 12.1
except for the 760L.
The 760C/CD is usually 120MHz, EL/ED are usually 133MHz, XL/XD are
usually 166MHz.
Only drawback to them (IMO) is size, weight, and heat. They're big and
bulky, the 760ED is almost twice as thick as my 560X. It weighs
probably 7 or 8lbs. It also generates enough heat that it can get
extremely uncomfortable sitting on my lap.
If the ability to add an internal CD-ROM drive or floppy is not
important, I would highly recommend looking at one of the 560-series. I
love my 560X, it is easy to carry, only a little over 1" thick when
closed, and only weighs 4lbs. Only drawback is that it has no internal
removable media, the floppy is external. Fortunately I'm tied into a
wireless network so I really have no use for removable media.
