I have had my 700m for about 5 days now and I am very happy with it. I upgraded the hard drive to a 7200rpm Hitachi and reloaded windows 2000 clean. (as mentioned before, the mouse buttons do feel cheap)
I have been messing around with a few games and I was VERY surprised to see that I could actually play:
Warcraft III and DungeonSiege on the laptop at lower settings quite well. I haven't done it yet but I imagine that counterstrike will play fine. My SFF system has a 9800 pro in it and I thought the laptop would be completely worthless with the onboard intel chip but I was wrong.
Another thing, even when playing games on the widescreen LCD, I can't tell that it is getting stretched! (ie 640x480 res) Also, this LCD still looks real good when not at it's native resolution.
Another thing I don't understand. I have 512mb of ram and the intel video should be taking 64 because it is shared right? Well why does dxdiag say I have 494mb of system ram and the video card has 64mb. Am I missing something here?
What 3D games have you been playing?
(BTW - Thank you dell for crazy 750 off coupons)
