Can anyone give a thumbs up or thumbs : > down on this one? actually, for $750, you can get 70CT which is much better than the 50CT. It is faster, charges while on and has a better battery life. : Other downsides particular to the 50. : 1) The docking station is almost useless. : 2) You can't plugin an external keyboard. Yes. You can. I happily type on my Newton keyboard attached to the port replicator all the time on my libretto. : 3) If you have the box plugged in, it will not recharge the battery. The 70CT and 100CT don't have this problem. : 4) It's *really* slow. The newer ones are faster. The 50CT isn't too bad for light or medium duty, but for heavy duty stuff, I tend to go with the PPro 200 I have at home...
