The pen tablet is a nice feature, and I'd personally like to use it more, but my husband always has this computer so I don't get to use it very often. I got this laptop for my husband who travels a lot. The best part about this computer is that it's so small and lightweight. It automatically connects to the right one each time. We'll probably send it in for repair before the warranty is up because the power button really should work.
The power on button does not work, so he figured out to use the DVD button. Regardless, we use a usb powered notebook cooling fan under it and it says cool all the time now. It has the hard drive capacity and ram to run large programs, and performs just as well as our home computer and 17" inch HP laptop that were purchased around the same time. The fingerprint scanner works fine for us, but I found the placement of it to be a bit odd, probably due to the swivel screen. The built in wireless works perfectly, and we have 4 connnections stored. Although some have complained that this laptop runs hot, I did not find it to run overly hot compared to other laptops I have owned.
The fingerprint scanner button on my HP laptop is located in the lower right corner below the keyboard. Conveniently, this computer fits into his glove compartment, but we have big cars so I doubt it would fit into many glove compartments. He really like the way the screen can swivel around and even be laid down flush on top of the keyboard. If you're looking for a fully functioning laptop, this will fit the bill far better than an eec netbook.
It's smaller than the Toshiba tablet PC I previously owned. It's also great for web surfing or reading long articles in this mode - as I find is often required in my coursework. This tablet is pen enabled, need I say more. my husband swiped my other HP tablet PC (the tx1000 version). I suspect it's simply my technique - since this feature isn't important to me so I haven't pursued this further.
;-). I also heard this frustration repeated from employees at Circuit City one day browsing laptops for a friend. I've not had one issue with Vista. It does have a learning curve, but there are so many added features and STABILITY that I really have come to enjoy this OS. I travel extensively for work and am taking a number of college courses (online) for my degree. This is my third tablet PC and my second HP Tablet PC.
Additionally, despite it's smaller size, this laptop has GREAT video quality and the keyboard is easy to use despite being smaller than traditional laptop keyboards. The price is reasonable for all the included features and convenience. Cons:. Putting the tablet in this mode is also very useful for watching movies - which can be conveniently stored on the large capacity hard drive. Whatever you heard about Vista - toss those thoughts out the door. Pros:. The battery serves as a great "handle" when using the laptop in this mode such as when waiting at the airport or for my parent in chemo. This laptop is PERFECT in nearly every way - it's so versatile I can use it nearly anywhere.
When frustrated or needing a break from school I can whip the tablet around and play Mahong Tiles using the touch screen. Others have told me their fingerprint reader has never given them any issue at all. All in all, this is a great laptop that I would recommend to anyone who travels extensively or otherwise needs a smaller, lightweight but powerful laptop all in a convenient package with more bells n whistles than a traditional laptop.
I replaced my HP tx1000 generation HP Tablet PC since this tablet PC is WACOM Pen enabled, is faster, has a larger hard drive and. In fact, I would recommend this tablet PC to ANYONE seeking a traditional laptop PC. I wasn't able to get the fingerprint reader to work on either of my HP tablets.
When I'm home I'm often waiting for many hours with a parent undergoing regular chemo treatments. well. I LOVE this smaller tablet PC.
You can not multi task (can't play music while brwosing the net for example - browser will freeze more often) you can not even open 2 - 3 internet explorer pages simultaneously.
One other general comment, if you use your laptop more than 45minutes at a time, do not buy a laptop with touch screen - they hurt your eyes.
HP.
Just trust me and avoid disappointment - DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM (I wish I could return it back, I would even accept to loose $300 and get the rest of my money back).
I don't know whom should I blame.
Internet explorer always freeezes, and/or laptop suddenly restarts, CPU always overheats and I mean it gets REAAAAAALLLY HOT (I thought the screen will melt) - overall performace is very poor and slow.
or Microsoft for their useless VISTA.
AMD for the useless CPU.
I have the better version of this product (2.2GHz CPU) and its been a week now.
HP Pavilion TX2510US 12.1-inch Laptop (2.10 GHz AMD Turion X2 ZM-80 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Black know the various features.It is of course light especially when compared to my previous 17 inch HP pavilion dv8213cl.The handwriting recognition is very good and i believe it is supposed to get better with time.The display especially when viewing photos is not as crisp as with my bigger laptop.The battery life leaves a little to be desired and i might have to go with the six or eight cell battery to improve usage time.Other than that i have no complaints so far.It is reasonably priced and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. I purchased the Tablet PC about a month back and am getting to.
I would not buy a unit like this for editing AVHCD. I have used both options and especially like the ability to bring up a program like Photoshop and rather than having to touch up photos using the mouse, be able to directly do it on the screen with high precision. This would allow virtually continuous use with any cables. Already it has worn off of one of the touch pad buttons and I can imagine in a few years time the keyboard will start to look bad.
Music Skips. Start Up is very slow a definite step backward from my XP based 17" laptop. The silver keyboard is nice (but note caveat below). The ability to flip the screen around is great but it would be nice if you could turn it in either direction as the viewing angle is small so I finding myself rotating the whole unit to the left to allow someone on my left to see the screen. It skips and chatters on a regular basis, even if I just sit there and don't run anything else or touch the keyboard. I have no complaints about the DVD drive or Wireless b/g/n/bluetooth adaptor.
In some ways this is comforting but in others simply annoying. Furthermore, half of the vent is on the side of the unit, making it more awkward to keep unobstructed when holding it on your lap. I end up reverting most everything to the classic set up. Although the touch screen support makes the lid somewhat bulky and heavy for a device of this size, the overall small footprint still makes it ideal for carrying around unless you have an absolute aversion to weight. Cons. I tried downloading the latest sound drivers and Quicktime/iTune versions to no avail.
Speaks for itself. I think Vista is to blame for most of it's issues. I've grown to like this feature. Fingerprint Reader. I've made peace with Vista but would not be inclined to recommend it. Keyboard/Touch pad finish. The function keys are too small but probably to be expected given the form factor.
I was hoping that in the seven years since I bought my last laptop that the chip manufacturers would have figured out how to significantly reduce heat generation but such is not the case. Pro's. Another annoyance is it's default shut down mode of "Sleep". But for everyday use including graphics it's fine. After explaining and re-explaining several times, the person finally recommended I restore my system to factory configuration. The battery life is not terrible (around 3 hours for my normal use which doesn't include playing DVD's). Here's a summary of the pros and cons:.
While not extremely speedy,it's not bad. The silver finish on the keyboard and touch screen is nice but it's just a finish. I have to continually change this to shutdown. Heat Generation. You will spend a lot of time telling it it's OK to make some change. Microsoft has an annoying practice of experimenting with the UI with no apparent regard for whether users actually consider it an improvement. Small form factor. video editing).
HP help is a joke. Battery Life. I have so far been unable to use this machine for listening to iTunes. SD Card Slot. Touch Screen. It uses up battery time while not appreciably reducing start up time. It does often take more than one swipe but it works and it's definitely more convenient than having to type in a password.
Speed. They all appear to do their job well. Once an application is fully launched and loaded in RAM, I've found it adequate for all but very demanding work (e.g.
Perhaps I will be able to by replacement key caps when that occurs. Fit and Finish. Overall the screen is very bright and has good resolution. It would be great if manufacturers provided a simple charging stand like I have for my power tools so that when one battery gets low you could just switch to another and put the first one to recharge. Unlike previous models, this one supports both active and passive touch meaning that for simple things like pushing buttons you can use your fingers but for fine drawing you can use the included stylus (which fits into a handy slot in the laptop). Other Components. Just not fast enough. I would love to see more applications designed to be driven completely by fingers as well.
I bought this laptop to have a portable but full featured complement to my 17" laptop and am generally quite satisfied with it. It's just disappointing that after all these years there appears to have been no significant improvement in battery life. The cover is susceptible to fingerprints but otherwise looks very nice. Besides meaning dozen's of hours of re-installing software and setting up Vista the way I like it, this also wouldn't accomplish anything that I can see. Vista. The back right corner of this unit can definitely run hot.
