Ergonomics were so-so. Definitely a risk of neck-strain from having the monitor a bit low. The keyboard was pleasant to use but required a lot more pressure than a modern chiclet laptop (I think the zenith of computer keyboards was actually the mid-period IBM Thinkpads well before Lenovo took over).
I too think it's pretty, but I come to it from a position of obvious bias. I picked one up cheap second hand in the early 2000s just for fun - but then I sold it a few years later as it took up alot of space in my then rather pokey London flat. If I got the opportunity again I'd probably get one (they're not easy to come by in Sweden afaik) but I'd stress about repairing it if something blew - high voltage stuff terrifies me.
