If you're in the market for an ultralight, sexy, and multimedia-centric convertible laptop, it looks like the
TX1000 might not be such a bad choice. According to LAPTOP Mag's review on the pre-production convertible tablet,
HP's design team did a bang-up job here, and all the multimedia sweetness (like a dual-layer DVD burner, webcam, "great" speakers, and HP's Media Center) you'd expect in a
Pavilion unit still appears even in the 12.1-inch frame. Also praised was the potent 1.8GHz
AMD Turion 64 X2 processor, generous 2GB of RAM, and a rather spacious 160GB hard drive; opening and operating applications was noticeably quick, and the dedicated
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics card did wonders when playing back DVDs and rendering
Vista's Aero interface. The biggest digs came (unfortunately) from the glossy touchscreen LCD, as reviewers noted that the screen felt "quite flimsy" when switched into tablet mode, but was assured by HP that finalized units wouldn't suffer the same issue. Additionally, fan noise was (understandably) louder than similar, less-spec'd units, the touchpad was "an acquired taste," it lacked a hover zone found on many other tablets, and the entire touchscreen was simply less responsive than expected. Overall, however, the machine seemed to do more impressing than disappointing, and if you're looking to use this more like a laptop and less like a tablet, this 4-star rated machine would probably suit you just fine.

hi,
my laptop, lovely TX 1080, was working normally less than 1 year. After 1 year and 3 months it is definitely crashed and rubbished. Processor has been heating so much that it harms all the parts of mother board. Wifi has been gone very soon after what whole PC.
I am now in very bad "relation" to HP, I am sorry for that because when my laptop was working I was strongly presenting HP as the best company and TX model as the best laptop I could ever had.
Next time, only Mac Book!
Are there more people which are not satisfied with that Tx model?

Sweet! I've been needing a new laptop for school, and this gives me all the options to mess around with music and video, but still take my chem notes in full detail! Why can't it be February yet?!?
