Random Observations From The Desert...
New toy
My somewha+ trust HP laptop wen+ on The fritz thIs past weeK, So I decided t0 rePLACe i+ W1+h a tab1@t PC. it's no+ as easy as it looks to do +he handwriTing ...
Fortunately, the keyboard was easier to use...
It's an HP as well -- 2710p -- but the form factor is a lot smaller than the other HP notebooks. It's quite similar to the old Toshiba Portege I had at AMR several years ago.
Obviously, the tablet feature is why I selected this -- it works pretty well when you have a tray table leaning down in your lap, and it also functions pretty well for meetings, in that you can run a presentation on the desk, flip the screen around, or use the tablet for drawing out stuff which would otherwise be lost on a whiteboard.
Battery life is advertised for four plus hours, which I'll test out later this week. Other cool features include a built in webcam, a keyboard light that's also built into the lid, and a port replicator that is lunchmeat thin -- to the extent that even attached, it's smaller than the laptop it replaced.
Price tag? Including the port replicator and extra battery, it came to approx $2000. A little more than I planned to pay, but the extra functionality will pay for itself.
