Poor ergonomics and usability [Posted on 2008-01-30]
My employer provided me with one of these a few months ago, and I must say that I hate it. This HP replaced an extremely well designed IBM ThinkPad, which I miss very much due to the poor design of the HP.
The 6910p has been a pain - literally. The keyboard and touch pad are not centered with the screen - they are offset to the left. This causes my left hand to hang off the side of the machine and causes pain in my hand. Since I usually sit centered with the screen, I have to shift both arms to the left and this also causes discomfort.
Also, be aware that while the machine appears to have four buttons surrounding the touch pad, I have only been able to program them for two functions - not four. You get two sets of duplicate buttons. If you have a program that requires a middle mouse button, you may find this laptop extremely frustrating.
The volume control is also difficult to operate. It is part of a smooth, plastic bar that runs just above the keyboard. It takes quite a bit of messing with this to get the volume set where you want it. Using real buttons or function keys to control the volume would have been a much better design.
Most laptop makers offer a similar range of processors, memory, etc. in their machines. What sets them apart is usability and ergonomics - and the HP 6910p fails badly in this area.
