I got the same one over Christmas to start into this hobby. If all I was going to do was learn about wireless and drive with it, I would have gotten something cheaper probably. But my old PC is a P166, and it was time for some kind of upgrade anyways. This was a good compromise: good price, features, and not a mobile desktop. Now, I'm starting to see the value of just some kind of handheld instead for collecting the AP beacons, bringing it all home, and using a desktop there to do the mapping and analysys. But I'm happy with it anyways.
I was hoping that the screen (got the brightview option) would be nicely visible outside. I spent quite a while at Best Buy trying to eye the screens versus the overhead lighting, to determine which responded best under glare. But I've noticed outside in the sun it's still nearly impossible to see. But even that turned out not to be much of an issue, since I don't need to see it while I'm driving (and when I'm stopped, there's more opportunity to try to get a good viewing angle).
