The good
Great price, Decent battery life
The bad
Screen is hazy, not that powerful
Verdict
HP re-invents the Tablet PC for the home with a stylish design but the touchscreen makes it less usable for multimedia

  • Don't buy any HP laptops of this type. I bought one just under 2yrs ago and just after the one year warranty expired, the WiFi stopped working. A hunt around the internet showed that this was a generic problem and would be followed by a motherboard failure. This has now happened, so I have an expensive piece of junk. It will cost more to repair than buying a new laptop. Meanwhile, my 10yr old Toshiba, which the HP was bought to replace, is still working. So be very careful if you are thinking of buying an HP and do your research. If it's too late, and you've already parted with your hard-earned cash, make sure that everything is backed up and buy a SATA drive caddy so that you can at least use your hard drive with another PC when the inevitable happens.
