Hello Dave -
In answer to your questions, the L1 is larger than the 50ct in some ways, smaller in
others. It's much slimmer, but it is about an inch and a half deeper and, perhaps two
inches wider. I believe it to be lighter than the 50ct - but that is because of
excellent weight distribution over a larger area - to me, it's the lightest machine
I've ever had.
Regarding battery life... I'm still not certain I'm running it optimally. Certainly,
if a P75 is decent speed for your application, you can dial down the screen intensity
and the processing power to next to nothing and still have a clearer screen than the
50ct and enough horsepower to do what you're doing now - plus some. This should make
the battery life more than acceptable. While the 50ct is a nice little box, it's
nothing like the L1 as far as capabilities are concerned. I also appreciate the
keyboard as being among the best I've ever used - the 50ct is the worst.
As far as price is concerned; the L1 sells in Japan and Korea for approx 1300USD -
with 128MB RAM and 10GB Hard Disk (mostly because of the very strong dollar overseas).
I bought from a Korean guy who upgraded the RAM and the Hard Disk (professionally, I
might add) and shipped it to me international express for a total of $2000. Yeah,
seems like a lot, but Dynamism is charging $2300 for an un-upgraded L1 - so this is a
hell of a deal. Shipping alone cost me $100 - but it was worth it because my new
machine arrived without weeks of delay. If you'd like to know my connection's
information, drop me a line via email and I'll set you up.
Regards,
Stacey
