Thumbs down.  I've used a 50, 70, and 100 and although they have great
'sex appeal', when it comes to usefulness they are pretty useless.  The
keyboard is unusable for any length of time, and the mouse is a bit hard
to get used to for all but demonstrations.

Other downsides particular to the 50.
1) The docking station is almost useless.
2) You can't plugin an external keyboard.
3) If you have the box plugged in, it will not recharge the battery.
4) It's *really* slow.
