I was thinking I would buy this until I saw the weight: 4.8 lbs. What was HP thinking? The weight needs to be at 2.5 lbs or less. Perferably at 2.0 lbs or less.
A convertible tablet will be carried around all day. I had their HP 2730p, at 3.7 lbs, and sold it because it was too heavy. I started taking it around to construction sites, jotting down notes. My holding hand started to go numb, and I thought I might drop it.

Doesn't it come out the 17th, not the 7th
Will HP ever acknowledge their responsibility on the Tx2000 series (the previous model) design flaws that render them unusable after a year and a half?
Will HP just walk away from it with a bunch of pissed off customers that paid good money for HP's pile of cr*p that the Tx2000 series is?
