Engadget notes today that Gottabemobile.com recommends the 12.1 inch HP EliteBook 2730 to those who are considering a tablet PC. While the price, $1,670, is not cheap, the tablet has been described as "a high-performing, ultra-thin, convertible tablet."
The laptop does a transforming act from a notebook PC into a pen-based tablet. At 3.7 pounds, it's not the lightest tablet around as Fujitsu's 12.1-inch Lifebook T8140 weighs only 3.3 pounds (but it costs $2,650, ouch!). After you rotate the laptop to a pen-based tablet it measures an ultra-slim 1.11-inches. New features include an integrated touchpad, tablet buttons and a jog dial. To get a super-long battery life, you can take advantage of the optional ultra-slim add-on battery that'll give you 12 combined hours of battery life. Without the add-on, the battery life is also not bad. You'll get almost 4 hours. The HP EliteBook 2730p also supports a convenient, ultra-slim docking solution with an integrated DVD+/-RW drive.
Thumbs down on the WXGA (1,280 x 800) screen and the keyboard isn't so great on the laptop, but the HP 2730 beats out the HP 2710. Not only have the touchpad and jog-dial since that model came out last year, but the new model also has and improved ULV (up to 1.2GHz) and LV (up to 1.86GHz) Core 2 Duo processor and and faster, 1.8-inch 5400RPM hard drive. It also sports a wireless option for WWAN world-wide support.

Toshiba's Tecra R10 is a mainstream business laptop offering a comprehensive set of features plus a decent sized display, all while keeping the weight down to a reasonable level.

If you intend to use the 2730p in landscape slate mode, then do NOT buy it. The 2710p and 2730p both suffer from a problem where if you put the table into landscape that it spontaneously rotates back to portrait... all by itself. Neither device can be used in landscape slate mode; so, beware. HP is unable to resolve the problem.

I'm posting to retract my previous comment about the 2710 & 2730 spontaneously autorotating. HP has finally found a fix for the problem (it involves installing some old patches from 2007).

I was wondering if you got those 6-6,5 hours in power saver mode with just the primary 6 cell battery, or with the 6-cell slice battery attached? I'm assuming just the primary, which means it's really good for a tablet pc.

They are great looking pieces, there is no doubt about that but I am also interested in their hardware. HP Laptops worth considering with or without this special "outfit".

It is one good piece of engineering drawn to the perfection. HP has one of the best names in the field of computers and laptops and it is sure to remain as one of years to come with incredible engineering.
