The HP Compaq 8710p is HP’s premier business class notebook offering. Featuring a massive 17” screen, the Santa Rosa platform, and a top notch DX10 graphics card, there is no doubt this laptop is a beast. I’m sure you have questions about the power and portability of this machine, so come on in and read our full review!
Reasons for Buying
Well, I didn’t buy it…but I had a reason to acquire it! My previous HP Compaq notebook, the 15.4” HP nc8430, underwent so many repairs that it started to break on a bi-weekly basis. HP and I agreed that the notebook was a lemon, and within a week we had decided that my new 8710p would be an appropriate replacement.

Price & Model Specifications
The 8710p starts out at a relatively low $1499, but the price can quickly ramp up by choosing more powerful technology such as a faster processor or a BluRay drive. The most powerful versions of this laptop top out at about $3000!
