Why it shows $799 in the web?
#1, during checkout you input the coupon at the credit card page for $400 off instead of that $200.
You have to clear it on the checkout, Ben doesn't fail with this one, the coupons may not be effective at first but on the checkout they will

great tablet. I have this exact config. and it runs slightly warm. But it is nice and compact. I also bought one for my kid, she loves it.
#4, had U try to install or know if there is any problem installing XP?
Unlike many others, I prefer Vista on my machines, although I dual boot on some of them. One being an HP pavilion desktop, which came with Vista. I was able to find XP drivers for all components rather easily.
Should be easy for this machine.
Nice screen size, not nVidia video, good deal. To each their own but I'd rather this size than a netbook or anything larger when using it on the go.
Coupon code is invalid

NB4398

Does this AMD chip run Vista well? I bought a refurb Dell desktop for $300 or so when Vista debuted and have applied all patches even recently but the thing is a dog. It has a dual core AMD chip in it but integrated graphics. The real kicker is that the hard drive never stops. I've tried everything and am ready to simply get rid of it. I've always had problems with AMD hardware but this HP tablet looks very neat to say the least. I'm just concerned that it's using AMD and not Intel.
There are three typical slowdowns with Vista. One of that to make it have "effects" they deliberately put in timing loops so you see the effects. On that front, disable as many effects as possible.
Second, give it as much memory as the system will take and don't reboot because then it has to prefetch and recache again.
Third, such a bloated OS that wants to fetch too needs as fast a disk subsystem as you can give it. Towards that end the typical laptop owner would be well advised to buy a replacement hard drive, a current generation drive with at least a near-multiple of 160GB (as that's the platter size) to have highest data density, and 7200 RPM.
You can tell it's not the processor simply by looking at Task Manager, that there's not 100% CPU utilization from the OS.
Although these things help, Vista will always feel a bit sluggish compared to XP, as did XP compared to Win98 when it first came out, before hardware could reduce that % of slowdown to the point where people didn't notice as much.
