    Hey all,

    I purchased a Portable One MX on Monday. I will be getting it tomorrow (Thursday). Ivan and Patrick were most helpful and responsive in assuring me that I made the right decision since I was choosing between the MX and the T42.

    I then started up a forum discussion at Anandtech.com, that the MX is quite possibly better than the T42, backing it up with user feedback and reviews.

    THought you guys might be interested in it! Here's the link.

    Congrats on your purchase!

    FYI: I work for an economic consulting firm, and one of our principals has been a loyal thinkpad follower for years. His T42 has been crashing left and right for the past 6 months. Since IBM has not been able to effectively resolve the issue (even after a new motherboard), he asked me to order him TWO P1 units: 1 loaded MX and 1 loaded UX.

    I've had more than a few people ask me for Ivan's/P1's contact info after seeing me use my MX in meetings or here in the office.

    Good luck with your unit.

    PS. If i email you high-res pictures of the MX, would you want to post them over at anandtech? I got some GREAT shots of the unit thatI took with my recently upgraded camera gear(for any of you camera buffs out there, i FINALLY got my hands on the highly-sought-after Canon 35mm f/1.4L!! Makes for some stunning pictures when mounted on my 1D [ :D])

    sure, I'd love to post themÂ… [email protected]... really want to show all the doubters that this P1 MX is just awesome. I don't even have it in my hands, and I believe in itÂ… I should be getting it today! "on vehicle for delivery" says Fedex's website.

    Raymond,

    not sure if you'll still need them since you probably have your own MX by now, but i'll email you pics over the wknd.
