Tank-like construction; excellent touch pad; includes integrated WWAN; supports Intel's Active Management technology.

Bigger and bulkier than other recent high-end ultraportables, but just as expensive.

HP Compaq 2510p Review

 

So by this formula the 2510p is classified as an ultra-light professional level notebook. The "professional" connotation means that you'll get a slightly stronger build than a consumer notebook, more security features, less bloatware, better technical...

Integrated optical drive in a package just over 3lbs ; Quality build, will be able to take the beating of typical business travel ; Very good battery life ; Good keyboard, comfortable to use despite small system size ; Professional and stylish look ;...

Issues with using the pointing stick in conjunction with a mouse click ; Poor speaker ; Slow hard drive performance ; Right palm rest gets warm

The Toshiba R500 and Sony TZ both offer LED backlit displays and an integrated optical drive at about 3lbs of weight, so I feel they're probably the most similar and direct competitors to the 2510p. I'd take the 2510p over the R500 due to the better...

Sturdy construction., Excellent battery life., Bright, LED backlit screen., Built-in fingerprint reader and WWAN., Solid keyboard & trackpad

HP Compaq 2510p Review

 

There's not much to complain about with the 2510p; a webcam would have been a great value-add. A faster hard drive would have improved performance drastically, while reducing battery life marginally. And remember, this laptop is not made for gaming....

HP Compaq 2510p Review

 

A funny thing happened after two or three weeks using the HP Compaq 2510p: We found ourselves forgetting it was small and thinking of it as just a notebook. It's time to recharge the notebook. We should install OpenOffice.org on the laptop. D'oh! We...

But a thoroughly capable, full-featured, battery-optimized portable that's not too heavy to carry is a good choice for any briefcase. Having a nice little notebook is no small thing

Light, sturdy, comfortable to type on, built-in optical drive, over four hours of battery life

Screen has narrow viewing angles, touchpad feels very slippery, no webcam

HP Compaq 2510p notebook

 

HP is currently the best selling notebook manufacturer in the world, largely due to its diverse range of corporate machines. The Compaq 2510p is aimed at business users looking for a fully-featured but lightweight notebook. The HP Compaq 2510p is a...

Great keyboard, lightweight, portable

Poor battery life, sluggish performance

The HP Compaq 2510p is a fairly average machine for the asking price. Sure, its light weight and the build quality are highly impressive but we were let down by the rather average battery life.
