IBM Quality - Instant ON [Posted on 2007-06-15]
This thing is only two pounds and comes with a real, almost full-size keyboard. Typing on this thing is a dream!

Comes with many built-in programs, such as: Microsoft Word, Excel, Access and Power Point. There is lots of freeware available for this unit.

Hardware includes a serial and parallel port, IR port and built-in modem.
The standard battery lasts about 8 to 10 hours of use. There is also an extended battery available, that will power this unit for almost 24 hours.
Has a Type II Compact Flash slot and also a Type I/II PCMCIA card slot.

Open the case and it's on! Check your E-Mail quickly - no waiting for your computer to boot-up. Easy to connect to the Internet through the modem, or a network/Ethernet connection or with a Wireless PC Card. The operating system (Windows CE) is on a ROM chip, which can't be erased. This means you can't "crash" or erase the operating system.

IBM quality shows on this unit. It has a solid feel to it. I have had my IBM Z50 for three years now and it's never given me any trouble. IBM still supports this unit. Their phone support and Web Site are excellent.

I also own a HP Jornada 680 and 728 PDA (same operating system). Both of the HP units have had hardware problems. HP phone support totally sucks - no help at all!

If you are lucky enough to find an IBM Z50 in decent shape - think about upgrading the internal memory from 16MB to 48MB. This upgrade really improves the performance.

I love my IBM Z50. It does so many things and does them well!
