That's not really an answerable question because it depends on one's
criteria for "goodness". General utility? Durability? Feature set?
Performance?

wouldn't it be great if they'd redo the 600X with new processor, USB 2.0,
big disk, etc. etc? what a keyboard that machine has.

Actually, my sick twisted dream is to cut and wrap a custom
motherboard for the 701 that would bring it up to modern specs while
keeping it looking stock. A butterfly with low-voltage P4, Cardbus
slots, SVGA 10.4" display, 100GB drive, 1GB RAM all in a 10 year old
package. Never happen, but it would be cool...

True, but you can't beat the gee-whiz quotient of the articulating keyboard
on the 701!
