This really sucks, HP has had my computer since Friday the 27th and I have no real status updates from them other than the fact that they have received the system. It took them 6 days just to get the box I was to send the computer in, to me. I called in a warranty claim because my HP Tablet PC was having two issues. The first was that the system would periodically think that the pen was constantly clicking in random parts of the lower right hand corner of the screen when in laptop mode and plugged into AC power (not running off the battery). The other issue was that the wireless communications module failed. Wi-Fi was completely gone but Bluetooth would work most of the time.
How long does it take to replace a wireless card and a motherboard? Argh!
The frustrating part is that I am only really setup for blog posting from the tablet and the main reason for switching from the laptop to the tablet other than the touch screen and pen was the smaller size and weight. I’ve switched back the 17 incher and I’ve left the desktop as my unmoving Live Mesh repository and of course my Media Center (TV & PVR really)
I could set the laptop up to handle posting comfortably but by the time its finally configured just the way I like the tablet will be back according to the overly pessimistic date they gave me as the latest date, March 9th. The ticket was submitted February 19th. That is 18 days without my main system and a comfortable setup.
Have you ever been frustrated by a computer malfunction where the computer didn’t blow up and eat all your data at the same time? (Yes, I made backups just in case)
