Buy Business Machines

HP dumps Evo notebook for tablet PC. The company plans to swap its Evo N200 lightweight notebook for its upcoming tablet PC for business. Will customers bite? [CNET News.com]

HP and Compaq sell lines that are focused on business users. Typically, these models ship with Windows XP Professional  rather than XP Home and they include less ”cutesy” software. Often they ship with one of the business productivity suites.
I bought an HP Pavilion zt1290 from HP’s consumer notebook line with the idea of reformatting the drive with Windows XP Pro. I’ve had nothing but trouble as I attempted to recover all the appropriate drivers, etc. It’s a great notebook PC, but I’d swap with HP in a heartbeat if they’d let me upgrade to their EVO line of notebooks!
