Realistically, I didn't get to a point in my life where I need a treadmill because I exactly like exercising. I can go on my treadmill and distract myself by watching TV and I can use it even even it's cold as balls or raining.
I just threw out the Nordic Track treadmill my parents bought in the 90's for like a thousand dollars. I may have used it twice and I can't recall ever seeing them actually use it. Went in a dumpster that cost several hundred to rent.
If they had bought $1,000 of Microsoft stock in early 1994 and reinvested all the dividends, it would be worth $200K.
"The victim was outside walking for some reason, instead of driving a car like a normal person." <- Sort of how accident reports for pedestrians are beginning to read in the past decade or so.
Got mine last night and took a 20 minute walk to test it out.
It's no treadmill, but it was fine for walking while I typed on the computer and browsed. I could see what other people were saying about how it is hard to do precise work on the computer while walking, and I will likely use this when I'm not actively typing.
Cons:
* Small and narrow tread
* I could see some people having a hard time balancing on it
* Loud (imagine having a kitchen mixer right next to you)
Pros:
* Small and light enough to tuck away after walking
* Can use a standing table to balance while working
* Cheap enough that I won't feel bad if I only get a couple years out of it
If you use a wobble board, this would be a nice upgrade. If you don't, then this thing is not going to change your mind on standing and typing at a desk.

Not fond of walking outside when it's like 5 degrees and icy.
