If it’s HP, I’m all for it. It has been one of the brands I have always relied on. It’s a bit disappointing though, about the touch-style mouse. It’s rare that an HP laptop goes out in the market with a quirk seemingly so simple as this.

Sounds like a great buy, Tim! Thanks for the heads up on this one … and for a concise review. I’m having second thoughts about that thing with the touch-style built-in mouse. But I’m pretty sure you just have to make a few adjustments with the settings …?

This version has lots of problems with the sound driver though, something HP doesn’t seem to be able to solve. It will eat up 50% of your CPU processing power while doing nothing and keeps the fan running when it shouldn’t have to. I’ve gotten no help from support because I’m not under warranty and the forum thread on this is now 20 pages long—on HP’s own site—with no response from teh company.

I’ve been leaning toward the tablet 13-inch from HP but after I read this review I went nosing around the web and have changed my mind. I like the touch screen aspect of those, but it sounds like this is a more solid (and quiet) laptop for travel.
