HP Compaq 2710p review (12.1" - Core 2 Duo U7600 - Vista Business - 2 GB RAM - 100 GB HDD)

HP includes a decent, three-year parts-and-labor warranty with the system, although the battery is only covered for the first year. Support is accessible through a 24-7 toll-free phone line, and HP has a robust online knowledge base and collection of driver downloads, especially for its business systems.
