HP Compaq 2210b brings speed to ultrathin tablets

Without a formal announcement, HP has quietly released the HP Compaq 2210b convertible tablet PC. Like the 2710p, the 2210b mounts a 12-inch touchscreen on a swiveling hinge and shares the same 1.1-inch chassis slimmed down by a thinner, more power-efficient display. HP drops the ultramobile processor and storage, however, for faster and less expensive notebook parts. Every system includes a Santa Rosa-era Core 2 Duo and a physically larger 2.5-inch hard drive but scraps the option of a 3G modem for cellular broadband.

Certain details such as battery life and pricing are notably absent, but models start with a 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo, 512MB of memory, a 120GB hard disk, and a dual-layer DVD writer. Faster versions double memory to 1GB and run a faster 2GHz processor, while several versions expand storage to 160GB. Buyers have the choice of either Vista Business or the more conservative XP Tablet PC Edition for older networks.

1.1" hardly qualifies as ""ultrathin tablet." That's thicker than my 17" macbook pro.
