I've a X22 (2662-GU5 iirc) and love it to bits. I do an 1.5 hour
commute to work, and again back again and throw it into a normal
messenger bag. I've been doing this for two years now, no problems --
its solid.
I'd like internal Bluetooth (as I have a bluetooth phone, but I have a
USB bluetooth dongle) and internal wifi (but I have a cheap wifi pcmcia
card), wifi is an optional extra for the X22 and bluetooth is for the
X30+ I believe. I wish I got a larger disk -- the model came with only
10G -- but I've a 30G drive on order at the moment. I also purchased
the slice with the CD drive which is used once every year or so.
I'm even happy in Linux -- the sound, graphics, network (with the Intel
adaptor), IR all work, but I've never tried the internal modem.
Basically, I love the X series. If I had the money I'd upgrade to an
X3* straight away.
