Yepp, I really like it personally.

IIRC weren’t some of the peripheral drivers a bit dodgy.

Sadly some are, but neither are dealbreakers for me - the SD card slot runs at USB2.0 speeds most of the time, the Wifi driver has to be modified and recompiled to run on newer kernels. Aside from those I haven't had any problems really.

I also swapped out my keyboard drivers for an alternative that turns the Eject button into a "delete" key, and swaps around two of the modifier keys for a more familiar layout.

I find it pretty neat that the caps lock light is programmable, and that the machine has an IR receiver!

That caps lock light is so cool, but I guess it makes sense since keyboard drivers need to change it.

A great form factor with a superior OS (IMHO).
