I just received one that I bought on behalf of the senior partner of
the law firm I work for.  They were waiting for FCC approval but
shipped the first week in January, just as Zeos promised they would.

I was very impressed. The machine appears to be well-built.  The
screen (backlit LCD VGA) was very sharp and reasonably bright.  The
keyboard has slightly smaller than normal keys with nice response.
The layout is fairly standard (you do have to use the "fn" key to
access PgUp and PgDn).  The machine is as small and light-weight as
advertised.  Hard drive speed is very fast.  20mg is of course a
little small, but workable.  It really does have a 1.44mb floppy, as
well as a port for an external VGA monitor.  Included was an initialed
list of quality control points.  The battery is removable, of course.
VGA utilities and expanded memory manager are included.  Carrying case
was not.

I like the machine and would recommend it.  Wish I had the little over
$2000 it cost, I'd get one in a minute...
