DO NOT THIS CRAB!!.......2006-10-30

This machine is full of problem, recorded TV show is never smooth... the remote control occasionally not work and you will need to reboot the system.

Slick Looking - Components are older technology - Keyboard sucks!.......2005-12-25

Picked one of these up the other day, mostly for the slick design and for the wireless keyboard with trackball type mouse controller. But that's all it has, is looks...

After using the keyboard, it quickly became tedious to use, since not only are the keys hard to push down, they are in a tight proximity of each other and not in the usual places, and the wireless is hit and miss, possibly because it runs at only 49MHz frequency. It will miss keys here and there, so you have to type very slooow, and check your work very often, and with passwords where you can't see what you are typing, good luck! It quickly becomes a tire... There is no number pad and the trackball mouse is skippy and lacks a scroll feature...

The processor is 2 "generations" older than the current dual core intel processors and the RAM is standard DDR instead of DDR2...

Unless HP updates the components and the keyboard, this is a terrible value and a POS.
