I'm sort of surprised by SwissMicros focus on the 42. I have a 42S and a 48GX and the 48GX is IMO far superior in almost every way. My only complaint is that the UI can be sluggish in places, but with a modern CPU this would completely go away, and it does on the 49, which I also have, but unfortunately its screen died and the keyboard stinks. The 48GX was the last model I have where they actually built it with some quality.

Still got my 48GX, 49G, 19BII and 28S. The 49G is the only that is unusable (rubber buttons? Really?).

49G aside, they all are good enough for use although probably no longer usable in some of their intended uses (re: any formal tests that would allow them?).
