I ran into one of the other regular customers here in the local Starbucks and he had something interesting to share. He has used an HP tc4200 Tablet PC for over a year although he admits he only uses it as a Tablet PC on flights where slate mode is the only usage form he has room for. He did say that recently he ordered a 64 GB SSD for the 2710p and put it in his tc4200 and it rocks. He says the performance gain and extra battery life he gets is worth the $900 he paid for the SSD drive. That may not be the way a lot of people would see it but he said it was one of the best purchases he has made for his mobile tech gear. He can’t wait until SSDs are offered in "all laptops".
