Overall, I am quite satisfied. While I experienced a fair amount of angst over preshipping issues with Dell, it was definitely worth the wait. :approve:
Before my purchase, I was faced with the choice of buying a new laptop, waiting for one of the "mini-laptops" (e.g., flipstart), or buying a nice ppc. I do very little with a laptop that can't be done with the X50, so the X50 is was.
The screen is beautiful and I don't have any issues with its sensitivity at this point (I haven't had a pda since my Palm IIIc, so I have no comparisons). It plays video very well and the apps I've used so far seem to run just fine on it. I've had no problems with the wireless. Aside: A few days ago at a coffee break, several colleagues were discussing an issue and someone mentioned that he would "look that up on the net" when he got back to his office. I said, "Why wait?" and plopped my X50 on the table, connected to the server, and found the information in question. :approve:
If I had one thing to change, I might rather see a jog dial rather than two buttons on the side. I remapped them for scrolling, but it just doesn't feel quite right. I'm sure I'll get used to it. Yes, the battery is a bit anemic (I guess that's two problems), but I hope a good replacement from Mugen will solve that problem.
Great machine!
