What's the difference between the HP 100lx and 200lx?
I believe the screens are the same. Is the battery life the
same?

One difference is that the HP 200LX has Pocket Quicken built-in on the ROM
disk. (You can buy Pocket Quicken for the HP 100LX, but it will take up
RAM disk.)

After using a 100LX for three and a half years, I just got a 4MB 200LX.
Differences include:

-Pocket Quicken and LapLink built-in (I haven't tested either yet. I've
heard that the LapLink is not compatible with Windows 95).
-Two games (Hearts + Bones, Lair of Squid) included.
-Some programs (Phone Book, Database, Note Taker) have optional DataCard
that can display part of each record on screen while in list mode,
customizable for each program and file.
-(I've been told) the Datacomm program is supposed to be much faster.
-The right hinge is less likely to break like 100LX hinges do.

I stayed with the LX after a lot of comparing with Win CE machines. It
seems much better as a stand-alone tool as opposed to a hand-held
extension of the Win 95 desktop, and I can thumb-type much faster than I
could click a stylus on screen.

Battery life is the same, the screen of the 100lx has a little bit more
contrast but not very significant. The differences in the 200lx are: Extra
software (Pocket Quicken, laplink remote!), bug fixed in Datacomm, bug
fixed for printing with memo (at least the german version of 100lx always
destroys page-length), the 200lx is available with up to 4MB RAM
(originally).
