We have already examined one system in the Balanced Mobility range, the <a href="http://reviews.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/notebooks/0,1000000333,39289364,00.htm">6715b</a>. Next up is a notebook from the Performance range, the <A href="http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/sm/WF05a/21675-283229-283229-283229-12434682-80117096.html">8710p</a>.
