Advantages: Cheapest tablet PC by far, feature packed, HP quality & support.
Disadvantages: Keyboard delicate. HDD slow. Vista.

For the price, this is a very nice piece of kit overall. The touchscreen works with the stylus or a finger, which is unusual for a tablet. The unit feels reasonably robust, with the exception of the keyboard, which is not brilliant. Losing a key is way too easy, while reattaching the key when you find it is way too hard. The hinge & pivot mechanism of the screen feel nice & solid. The back of the screen (top of the closed unit) feels like it gives ...
...from Staples and shipped both with a 4 and a 6cell battery, the latter making the laptop rise at the rear - good in keyboard mode, a bit awkward in tablet mode. Nonetheless handy for being able to travel without the power brick. The multimedia features are good (both HP's Quickplay and MS Media Center), with a nice front end and an IR remote, which is a bit fiddly, but stows away nicely in the expresscard slot when not in use. The speakers are of ... Read review

Advantages: Available cheaply second hand. Runs well.
Disadvantages: Can overheat - I would advise buying an extra fan.

Well I am typing this review on my NC4010 so it definitely has the basics features you need when it comes to internet surfing and basic office tasks. Firstly, I should probably point out that it isn't the newest, star-spangled model available. I bought mine second hand from a well known auction site for about £120. I desperately needed something cheap and reliable for accessing the internet and doing basic tasks with office. The laptop arrived with ...
...enough to get Office, there is a free programme called Openoffice available to download off the internet which does just as good a job. The laptop is small - diddy in fact! I have to admit to being very picky when it came to choosing my laptop and a big factor in my decision was the sleek design and curved edges on this model which I feel makes it aesthetically pleasing. As for the size, it has a 12.1 inch screen and the laptop is only about 14 ... Read review

The machine seems well built and I have had no problems with it other than a tendancy for the wireless adapter to "freeze" when working on battery power. The touchpad mouse is a pain and should be disabled... ... Read review
