will it go faster if i install windows xp on it?

[heatlesssun]

@xjmdm You'd loose all of touch functionality in XP plus drivers would be hard to come by.

Have you tried IE9 64-bit version on this?

[noformstyle]

at 6'25" videos is that lag ? or just the way the video is.

[xjmdm]

but the viliv has xp and its fast the touch is working well

so i can find the windows version that the viliv has and just install it on the hp

@aliwajahat87 you can set the on/off button to put the device into sleep mode in the energy management screen (meaning you have to use start menu to shut it down completely), you can't tap the screen to turn it on since that would mean the screen would have to be powered on during sleep mode which would sort of defy it's function, you'll just have to use the on/off button again

Can we see a video of how it responses to video decode using the HDMI output to a monitor or tv? Also can we see a WPF or animated silverlight demo, such as the pivot viewer please :)

Good review. It might be useful to have a flick to bring up the ink area. It looks to be a little tedious to have to click a few times to start writing.

Thanks a lot for posting this video.I wanted to know one quick thing, does slate has the sleep/wake function, where you put your slate to sleep and then just tap it once or twice to wake it up??
