I've had my 700m for over a month now, and still pretty happy with it. I got it on a $750 off promo, PLUS free shipping, so I can't complain. I paid $767 plus tax. The 5 hour battery life is working out great on cross country flights, though I can run off aircraft power if I need to. I bought it primarily for TIVO To Go, as I needed something smaller for in flight and a larger hard drive (the 15 inch Toshiba wasn't the best for that).
