So far I am impressed by the size and capabilities of the 700m. It is a very tiny notebook at 4.5 pounds, but performs very well!
One main rant but you get used to it, is the placement of the period key. After awhile though I started to get used to it, and could press it with no problems.
The screen on this laptop is amazing: 1280x800 widescreen resolutions and it is very bright! I had no problem using it the other day in the car when the sun was very bright. I used to have a hard time seeing the screen on the HP in the bright sunlight.
