    Just received my x61 and love it. Super small and portable, powerful enough and the internal Verizon Sierra broadband works really well. I also bought the xbase.

    Also bought the Razer Pro Click Mobile bluetooth mouse, which I have not yet received.

    Question -- can anyone recommend a good desktop monitor I can plug the x61 into when I am using my laptop at home? Just curious if anyone particularly liked one.

    Thanks!

    Can you please be a bit more specific? What size are you looking for? Do you need a widescreen or a standard 4:3? Are you using this for desktop publishing or for world of warcraft?

    In general, I think sony monitors are great, but samsungs are the best bang for the buck.

    Thanks for responses.

    I was looking for a widescreen. Just for everyday use (surfing, word processinf, etc.) I am not much of a gamer.

    Can you guys suggest a particular Samsung model? Maybe even something larger than 22"? Thanks.

    I'd suggest the Dell 2407WFP. 24", 1920x1200, looks real nice and lots of room on the screen for multiple windows, etc :)
