I recently purchased HP 2710p and I am also hearing a screeching high pitched noise continuously from the left side of the machine. Were you able to solve the problem? It is very irritating to hear in a quiet room and it is not audible or drowned out when listening to music or in a noisy environment.

Hello,

I was curious to know your thoughts about how this tablet PC matches up with the tx2500z series. I bought the 2500 series today and will be receiving it shortly in the mail, but I'm starting to think I may have been hasty in my decision.

This tablet works well with Ubuntu Hardy (after a few tweaks, most issues are fixed with recent updates) Suspend works well. graphics, 3D seems good in many areas. It feels like a super charged TC1100, I don’t really miss the hybrid form factor, but wish HP hadn’t dropped it cold. If you use Ubuntu with it please share your experiences on the Ubuntu Laptop Testing Team Wiki:

Beau, the 2710p will serve as a very nice notebook but it is going to be a lot slower than the laptop you have now. If you need the Tablet PC functionality then the 2710p will be a nice gadget for you.

Hi
I am a yr10 student and I use my currnet laptop witch is a 2.6ghz core2 duo asus with 4gb of ram and it is a quick computer but it is way to heavy to use for day to day use, would i be disapointed with with the 1.2ghz cpu out of the hp 2710p as a laptop that i would be typing and brousing the web all day?
thank you for your reviews.

This is my work unit.
I have had mine for about 6 months now and I love it! I got it with Vista preinstalled. I later reformatted it with Vista 64 since I added 4GB to it. Unfortunately, I'm still not a Vista fan. Currently, I'm dual booting Ubuntu 8.04 and XP. With "most" of my apps running in either Wine or CrossOver, I'm probably not far from dumping the XP partition altogether.

The fast sleep and wake features are definitely in the hardware. Regardless of Vista, XP, or Linux, it is just fast! IMO, it runs the fastest with Linux due to the stream-lined OS that it can be. About zero-to-desktop in about 90 seconds!

I have it just few days and I am almost desperate from it - there is a high pitched noise from left side of notebook which is almost inaudible in BIOS but as soon as it start in graphic mode (Windows) it intensify. It's definitely nothing what you can hear when you listen music or work between other computers but once you are in a quit room you can hear it and it is annoying. Did someone experienced the some modem-like noise (which isn't from modem, speaker, fan, nor hard disk) from this tablet or it is just faulty one? Thanks for your comment.

Great review, and continued responses...
I have a question that does not seem to be addressed anywhere.

I know Wacom is responsible for the inking solution on this model and I have just gotten a Wacom Intuos3 drawing tablet and it is great...

Have you tried an art application on your 2710p that changes the brush thickness based on the tablet pressure sensitivity? If not, is there anyway you could try out something? Maybe like: Corel Painter X? Thanks!
