I have an iPAQ hx2400, and that's my only experience with HP so far.
I would sell my toshiba lappie and buy an HP if they could provide me:
* Ubuntu linux preinstalled
* Complete specifications for all the components available for the Linux community to make the proper open source drivers
* Solar Panels on the back of the screen to help battery saving
* A good video card (good enough for modern 3d games)
* A Wacom Tablet
* Thin and light (enough to carry around everyday on the backpack, to use as a notebook for classes)
* Wifi, Bluetooth, Fingerprint reader, SD/MMC reader, embedded webcam, lots of USB ports (4 +), at least a dual-core power saving capable processor, at least 7200rpm, 150GB HD.
* accelerators to protect disk damage
* an attractive price
* International costumer service/support
* A nice design
Wow, that would be the lappie of my dreams .... I would trow away my desktop computer
