Wave of HP tx1000 Reviews

An artfully designed ultraportable convertible Windows Tablet PC, the HP Pavilion tx1000 is geared for multimedia. It’s lightweight (4.2 pounds) and has some distinctive design touches, including a unique touchpad, that make it interesting. But its poor battery life and reflective screen make it a less-than-desirable traveling companion.

HP’s latest entry into the Tabletscape is now available for ordering on the HP website. The Pavilion tx1000z series is a touchscreen convertible Tablet PC running an AMD Turion 64 X2 dual-core processor, touted as offering enhanced virus protection and well as longer battery life. There are more configuration options than you can shake a stylus at available from choosing which Vista SKU to install, to memory, to HD size, etc…
Plus, there’s a GottaBeMobile InkShow from CES on the HP tx1000.

The HP tx100z is the first Tablet PC HP has designed for the consumer rather than the road warrior. With an AMD Turion 64 bit Dual-core processor, 2 gigs of memory and running Windows Vista™ Home Premium the HP ttx100 is the fastest Tablet computer I have ever had the pleasure of using..
The High-Definition Bright View Widescreen Display with Integrated Touch-Screen is simply amazing. Personally I’m not one to watch movies on my computer, in fact I’ve never watched a movie for more than a few minutes of a movie on any Tablet PC, UMPC or desktop computer. Now I am looking forward to watching a dvd on my next flight which happens to be to the Microsoft MVP Summit.
Looks to me like a very interesting consumer-level machine, though probably not something for the classroom.

I do not own an HP tablet PC but I have heard some of the major cons that have put me off on buying one. AMD, from my personal experience, makes terrible processors. They heat up quickly, dont have great battery life and they are not much cheaper or more expensive than the core duo from Intel. So why choose AMD? I have heard that from this tablet PC, this is one of the main problems. Many reviews are saying that the battery life is poor and the touchscreen does not have a natural writing feel compared to a CST tablet like Gateway. I own the Gateway and the writing feel is perfect if the pen was not so comfortable. I like my gateway but this has flaws too. The screen keeps on popping a seem and the bezel has a cheap feel. The keyboard is great, the screen is grainy, the laptop is heavy but the preformance is great. Comparing it to the HP which has all sorts of media controlls including a pop out remote controll. The touchscreen might not be so great. I dont think the preformance is as good as my gateway. The battery life is worse than my Gateway. The looks are better than the gateway and the screen is better than the gateway. The Gateway is HEAVY and CUMBERSOME. If I had to choose between the two, I would go for the HP since all you have to do to solve the heat problem is buy a chill mat.
