Thanks for the support, although no solution was offered.
I returned the Slatebook X10 to the merchant for a refund. The return period was 30 days and, it didn't make sense for me to spend time trying to revert to an older version of Android (which I dont believe can be done). And, I didn't want to get into a warranty issue with a brand new device since, there's no evidence on the forums that this issue can be solved.
Sad to return the device but, I got something else and, it sounds good/works well.
I'll continue to shop for HP PCs as, I really like the products but, this Slatebook just didn't cut it. Too bad, there's a lot to like about it!
