The trigger has been pulled on a HP 2710p

Hp_2710pI have been evaluating the HP 2710p for a few weeks as you know and it’s been a surprisingly pleasant experience.  The 2710p comes very close to duplicating the experience of the venerable tc1100, something I thought impossible for a convertible Tablet PC to do.  It does that due to its thin form and clean design.  It is also surprisingly snappy even though it’s only got a 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo under the hood.  Of course the 2 GB of memory helps Vista along and the tightly integrated utilities and drivers that HP has put together no doubt helps in that regard too.

How impressed am I with the 2710p experience?  I just ordered one to use every day in my mobile lifestyle.  I can’t remember when I’ve used a mobile PC for a few weeks and not found a single thing that frustrates me.  Usually the concessions that must be made to keep a device thin and light as possible end up causing me some grief at times but not so with the 2710p.  I ordered one configured exactly like the evaluation unit that HP sent me:

  • 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo
  • 2 GB of RAM
  • 100 GB 4,200 rpm hard drive
  • 6-cell battery
  • 12.1-inch WXGA screen (1280×800)
  • 2 MP web cam
  • Intel graphics
  • Bluetooth
  • WiFi a/b/g
  • 3 year warranty

The HP store couldn’t verify when this will ship so hopefully it will get here before the evaluation unit goes back.  I don’t like thinking about the possibility of being without a 2710p, it’s become that important in my work.
