The Bottom Line:
It's a cheap tablet. Tablets are a good technology. But you also get what you pay for.
- The computer is very hot. Friends comment on it. It's uncomfortable at times when it is on your lap.
- My power transformer melted. It smoked. It was dangerous. And then HP only sent me half of the cord and I had to buy the other half.
- Recognition of the stylus is not accurate at the edges of the screen. In order to move the scrollbar on a maximized window, for instance, I often need to click the stylus on the plastic of the screen itself.
- It is slow to convert the laptop from keyboard to tablet mode. You swivel the screen and lock it into place and then it takes a good 10 seconds for the laptop to be functional again after the computer reorients the screen. This is an embarassing lag when I'm switching the laptop into tablet mode during a conversation to show someone something.
- The laptop is slow to start. Even though it has a dual core processor and 3GB or RAM it takes longer to start or resume from hibernation than the Mac computers of friends.
- The audio quality seems fine for a laptop, but it is noticeably worse than the previous HP laptop that I owned which was excellent- The shift key on the keyboard is too small - it is half the size of a normal key. You get used to it, but I think it puts extra strain on you as you type.
