Hp49g - To buy or not to buy?

[ijabbott]

I bought one from eBay for £9.25 earlier this year, so you may get one cheaper than 50 Euro if you are patient enough.

I like the colour scheme, personally.

The keyboard isn't that bad, just a bit rubbery!

It's a lot slower than the 50g, but probably not slower than the 48GX, and it runs a Meta Kernel based OS, llke the 50g.

The 48G serial cable is NOT compatible with the 49G. You can buy a serial cable for it from eBay, but I made my own.
