The 150's only positive in most peoples' eyes would be its 640x480 resolution, though the STN screen's quality in itself leaves much to be desired. The lack of many ports (I think that all these things have is SCSI and serial) is also a negative. Unless you find one with a memory upgrade already installed, it's a bit of a challenge to find the necessary adapter to install more than the base 4MB of RAM in the thing. I only have one to complete my collection.
Ok, I guess I thought the 150's memory was easier to find. The other positive being that it can have up to 40MB of ram. Also, it uses an IDE drive, which seems like it'd be easier to replace if needed.

Anyway, I'm starting to be swayed towards the 180 or a Duo. Whatever I find at a good price first.

Thanks for everyone's feedback so far.
