I love mine and highly recommend it. Nice thing--when I switched from a T41p to an X61 (and now an X300), a $10 tip made my iGo just as good as it ever was, whereas I previously had 4 or 5 ThinkPad adapters for my T41p (which also worked with previous ThinkPads I had) which were all suddenly rendered useless.
