This tablet pc is one of the best computers i've ever owned. It's a little pricy, but if you compare it to any other tablet with the same features, (if thats even possible), then its not bad. I researched this product before i bought it, and most of the reviews were great. Pros: It runs very smoothly. I have enjoyed every one of the unique features. I use the fingerprint identity feature everytime I use the computer, which is very easy to use. The pen feature works very well, and almost matches your handwriting, and also the handwriting can easily be converted to text. The little onscreen mouse is also very helpful if you have big fingers. I love the swivel screen. This is one of my favorite features. I can sit and lounge however i want to and just turn the screen, flip and flop, and i've got it made. I have no need for a webcam, but i have played with it and it is actually kind of fun when you mess with all the webcam features. Also the microphone feature works very well. You don't have to scream in it, you can just talk normally, and the playback recording sounds great. Also where can you find another tablet that has 4GB of ram that can also be upgraded to 8GB? The 320GB hard-drive space is also a sizable amount of space for any laptop. And one more thing, where can you buy another tablet pc that is big enough for a CD/DVD drive. There are too many features to talk about, but so far all the features have worked beautifully and smoothly. Cons: The only thing that really bothers me is when the pen is attached, it just hangs there. Hp thought of everything EXCEPT a place to either snap the pen to the computer or stow it away in the computer. The remote is uniquely stowed away, why didn't they do that for the pen, so good luck keeping up with it. One small con is that it gets a little hot on your lap, so I just bought a cooling stand that was about 20 dollars, problem solved. The battery power has lasted me about 3 to 4 hours at the most, which is fairly good, but the charger is so small and light, I usually have it plugged in anyway. If you are considering buying this computer, DO IT! I am recommending this product to anyone I know that needs a computer. For the money you are getting a great computer. It's like having a desktop you can carry around, except it has more features. It's very easy to use and very portable.

Great Product: Love the features

I just got this laptop for my birthday and I am loving every minute of it. The performance is awesome when running on high performance. The internet connection is faster then my wired connection on my home computer. The screen is small, but vibrant and sharp. The battery life is admittedly fairly bad, but the charger is so light, yet long, that it is easy to carry around both the laptop and the charger within a home. The heat is there, but its certainly not that bad with longer pants on. The noise is also here, but its not really noticeable unless your thinking about it. The fingerprint scanner is a really nice feature when you get used to it and the webcam is amazing and full featured. Overall this is a great little machine that has a better performance then one might expect from one this size.

This is a great computer, it comes with these customization options that you can only see here and places like alienware, however it is available for a great price, I maxed mine out for less than $1700. I love the touch controls, and I have always been a tablet fan, so this was the perfect computer for me. Overall, it is a computer that offers what it says it will and more.
