Review: HP Compaq 8710p

• Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 Processor (Santa Rosa, 2.0GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB)
• Microsoft Genuine Windows Vista Business
• 17.0” WSXGA+ Display (1680 x 1050)
• 512MB (256MB Dedicated) nVidia Quadro NVS 320M GPU
• 2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM (1x2GB Configuration and quickly upgraded to 4GB)
• 160GB 5400RPM Fujitsu 2.5” HDD
• DVD+/-RW Optical Drive
• 802.11a/b/g WiFi, Ethernet, Modem, and Bluetooth Connectivity
• 8-Cell 73Whr Battery
• 3 Year On-site Warranty
• Dimensions: 15.5” x 10.8” x 1.3” (at front)
• Weight: 7.7 lbs (Actual Measurement)

Conclusion

At 7.7lbs the 8710p is amongst the lightest of all 17” machines. It is portable, it is powerful, and it is built to impress. There is a huge amount of power in this case, yet most of the time the laptop keeps itself fairly cool and quiet. Given that only SLI DX10 notebooks will be more powerful than the NVS 320M/8700GT, the notebook packs quite a gaming punch as well. Definitely a nice notebook and I would say it is a steal at the price point this is listed for.

Despite the problems with my old notebook, I still stick by HP and their ability to deliver some excellent products and to stand behind their products if severe problems crop up. This notebook is no exception.

Pros

• Strong, business class frame.
• Latest CPUs available, strongest DX10 card currently available. Overall great gaming performance.
• LCD frame stronger than previous generation.
• Hard drive shock protection.
• Incredible screen, way above average horizontal and vertical viewing angles, excellent brightness and control.
• Above average speakers, better keyboard that I thought it would have been.
• Improved cooling design.
• Large array of ports available, including 6 USB ports!
• Surprisingly long battery life.

Cons

• LCD screen was slightly mis-aligned, easily fixed though.
• Hard drive sometimes runs just a little warm.
• Fan is occasionally loud, only during intensive applications.
• 4 USB ports are bunched together right in front of the DVD drive.

Chipset	Mobile Intel GM965

Intel Centrino with vPro technology capable	Intel Centrino with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on units configured with an Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN or 4965AG. It provides advances in remote manageability, security, energy efficient performance, and wireless connectivity. Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) offers built-in manageability and proactive security for networked notebook PCs, even when they are powered off* or when the operating system is inoperable. It can help identify threats before they reach the operating system, isolate infected systems, and update PCs regardless of their power state.
	*Requires a Windows operating system, network hardware and software, connection with a power source, and a direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless LAN.
	NOTE: Some functionality of Intel Centrino Pro and vPro technology, such as Intel Active Management technology and Intel Virtualization technology, requires additional 3rd party software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Centrino Pro and vPro technology is dependant on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual appliances" and Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is yet to be determined.

Conclusion

Even though the 2710p isn't packed with features it is a lightweight solid tablet. If you are looking for a nice ultraportable with a solid design, sleek appearance, good battery life and great wireless options this may be for you. It is the perfect weight and size for users on-the-go. Overall I was impressed with the sturdy chassis and how there was minimal flex in the entire design. The active digitizer is responsive and comes in handy if you need to give a quick presentation. All you have to do is turn the screen and use the pen as your pointer. I would have liked another USB port and a different setup for the pen silo, but the optional dock can add more features if need be.

Pros

• Solid design and sturdy chassis
• Sleek appearance with brushed aluminum accents
• Great wireless options
• Small and lightweight
• Good battery life

Cons

• Pen falls out of silo sometimes
• Hinge has a little wobble when in notebook mode
• No optical drive, but this saves on weight
