I actually rather like the classic American square black box look of IBM
laptops.
Only problem I really had with my z50 was that the power connector was a bit
loose, and if you didn't apply constant downward pressure (i.e. the weight
of the power brick dangling on the cord), it wouldn't charge.

I gave it to my ex-gf, since I wasn't using it. I ought to find out what (if
anything) she's doing with it these days. She really wanted it for a
portable notepad for class and the like (in wince).
