I bought one of these X5's at a great deal of from here a long time ago, I also got the keyboard for it, I only needed it to last until I go out of collage as it was just for note taking only. The poor little thing has been through alot since it can to my hands, it's been dropped countless times, even a couple times from on top of a 12 foot step ladder onto the concrete shop floor, just about every time I dropped it both the stylus and the battery go flying away from the main unit, and every time it still works.
The standard battery did not last long so I bought a 3400Mah battery from Deckcell here on amazon, and it I will got about 2 to 3 weeks of using it everyday to take notes in class before the battery even gets to 50%, I once went 6 weeks before it gave me a warning that I had 20% battery left.
I plain on buyng another one of these in the next couple of days, just to have as a spare because it is that good.
