HP Compaq's 2510p laptop / 2710p tablet to rock LED displays
engadget.com — It looks like the long-awaited upgrade to LED-based displays will be landing shortly. The HP Compaq 2510p 12.1-inch laptop and 2710p tablet PC will reportedly be the first two on the list to receive such treatment. The firm's duo of LED-packin' machines are scheduled to ship out in Q3 of this year.

My first thought was "Something tells me that using Light Emitting Diodes wouldn't be considered an improvement or good news." - JaYBrooks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1Well at least it will have better battery life with a more efficient lamp. Sony will be selling OLED displays sometime this year I hear.. So maybe we will see some OLED laptops soon... We can only hope... I would imagine a large ticket price for OLED since the manufactures are set up for LCD at the moment.

- bettermentflux, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I used to have a Compaq T1000 Tablet and I loved it. Terrible for gaming and graphics work, fabulous for web browsing, word processing and starting conversations with total strangers. I'll be looking at this one when it comes out, along with the one Dell just announced http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/05/18/15193.aspx and (hopefully) Lenovo's follow-up to their X60 http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/notebooks/thinkpad/x-series/tablet/sitelet.html.
The one that supports Linux best wins.- JaYBrooks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I am still waiting for Lenovo to have a Wide Screen display... (hint hint lenovo). The Thinkpad I have now is about ready for an upgrade.
- killerofkiller, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Lenovo has 2 wide screens
the Z series
and the T series has a wide screen option..
are you wanting a wide screen X series?

- Xanium4332, on 10/11/2007, -5/+3Unfortunatly they crippled th 2710p with only a 1.06/1.10GHz Core 2 Duo.
- sbsgator, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4Very cool, higher quality displays that take up less juice. Not bad at all.
- s73ve, on 10/11/2007, -3/+1The Toshiba R-400 already has an LED display. And the R-400 is way better looking than that ugly silver turd.
- Kazbaeden, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1The R400 is also overpriced and current shipping units don't even have the UWB they promised for wireless docking.
- zapa, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH!
- FoxFaction, on 10/11/2007, -6/+1Okay, i looked on wikipedia and I looked on google, and the first thing that came up was this page. What the hell is 2710p. I'm guessing like 3500x2710 resolution or something, but could someone clarify?
- Morphiuz, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11model numbers for HP's laptops. Not resolutions. lol
- Jonjonr6, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1I wonder how power efficient these could be with a flash hard drive installed. They're too slow for gaming and heavy work, but should be fine for email, internet, etc.
- JaYBrooks, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3I wouldn't get a solid state hard drive just yet.. They aren't a proven drive just yet. There is nothing worse then losing your data.
- mrsteveman1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0By proven do you mean that YOU personally haven't seen them working in your friends basement? I'm glad you are here to protect us from all those weird, unproven flash chips.......
Seriously, flash chips aren't unproven in any way, and the chips they use in solid state drives are very high end chips that have been extensively tested. Flash chips are one of the few components that have well defined operating parameters just stay within them and you are fine.
BTW the word is "than", then is a logic argument "if x = 5, then 5 = x".
