Small and Does the Job

Date of Review:  Oct 12, 1999
Review: When I first saw this product come into the client site that I was working I was a tad bit skeptical. First of all I heard mixed reviews from my colleagues as to how good Windows CE is. I used to have a Palm III (until it got stolen) and really...

z50, Now a $250 STEAL?

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2000
Review: IBM's ThinkPad is a prestigious name in the fierce and often expensive Notebook market. PDAs are completely different animals. They are small, compact, and most of all, cheap.

IBM z50 WorkPad are not CHEAP! At least initially. It retails at...

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2000

Pros:

Size: the thing is 25.9 cm x 20.3 cm x 2.5 cm, basically less than the size of a normal pad of paper, and about an inch and a bit...

Fantastic deal if you can find one cheap!

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2003
The Bottom Line: Get one used for $100-$150 and its a super great deal! Buy it!
Review: I got one of these for my wife to take to college and take notes or type papers up. I toyed around with it quite a bit and was very impressed. The keyboard is excellent and better than most laptop keyboards that I have used. The screen, while...

Great Value PDA with keyboard

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2001
The Bottom Line: Great buy at the price, wouldn't be bad at a couple of hundred more... Pity it's discontinued
Review: I freely admit the first thing that attracted me to the Z50 was the price, I paid about #200 (UK Sterling)and they can still be found new for about $300.

What you get:

One of the best keyboards you are likely to find on a...

Small, but fully functional

Date of Review:  Jan 26, 2000
Review: The IBM Workpad Z50 is finally coming down in price. Street prices at this time linger in the mid to low $300 range. A previous price of $799-$1000 prevented many people from seriously considering a Z50 as a companion. With the new pricing...

An IBM Product Shouldn't Perform Like This

Date of Review:  May 7, 2000
Review: I've hesitated to submit a review on the z50 WorkPad, but after returning two units which went dead in the water within 10 days of receipt, I feel I should share my disappointment.

IBM's great reputation for manufacturing quality products...
