Having been a 760EL user for several years I just have to offer a slight
correction. Many other 760 models, such as the 760EL came with the 11.3"
screen, not just the 'L'. That was a pretty dim screen compared to the 13.3"
and larger active matrix screens on 600s and 770s (and newer). Also, many
760ELs are 120MHz too. While a pretty thick laptop, they are a fair amount
smaller in footprint and slightly thinner than a 770.
It's a good PC if you're running Win95 and Office 95. I wouldn't think it
would be very fun to run Win98 or later on one. With the older software it
has reasonable power for web browsing, word processing, etc. I even used one
for Cold Fusion web development for a while. Makes a big difference to bump
up the RAM. Base models had probably 24MB, but with 96MB it runs a lot
better.
