Hi, I'd just like to add to this thread.

I bought my 6910p in October 2007. Came with T7500, 2GB RAM, 160GB HD, ATi X2300. Also it came with recovery/driver disks for Vista Business 32/64, and XP Pro.

I have to say that I like this notebook alot. The keyboard is a pleasure to type on, dare I say even comparable to the Thinkpads. Performs really well, but the graphics card is so-and-so. Alas, performance in graphics intensive apps leaves something to be desired.

The notebook never gets too hot under load, but the exhaust vent on the left side is like a mini-heater, pushing out copious amount of air . The fan, not very noticeable under light-normal usage roars to life when under load.

Love the biometric security, but HP's credential manager software is a little buggy. I've had a bit of trouble using it with firefox to log on to websites at times.

it's so sad that i deleted recovery partition by mistake and lost my recovery/driver disk . Anyone can help me by uploading disk image on megashare.com or rapidshare ? Thank you so much

anyone know when the 6910p is going to be upgraded, refreshed, or replaced? which models?

I've had a series of problems with my 6910p with the Intel GM965/X3100 chipset. Running Vista 64 sp1

My problems:

1. Does not fully go to sleep or hibernate mode 50% of the time and hangs forcing a hardware reset.
2. The SD card reader's driver randomly uses 40%-50% of the CPU usage causing serious system performance issues after a few hours of up. I've had to disable the SD reader to fix this.
3. The screen flickers occasionally when running off the battery (adaptive brightness issue?)
4. Rare random crashes where the whole machine locks up while doing nothing.
5. The similar fan noise issues people have reported in this thread.

I have the newest BIOS flashed and all the HP Vista 64 drivers offered on their site.


Anyone having similar problems with Vista 64?
