Note that the AMD Processor generates a lot of heat so be prepared for this. Can use most new editing tools like Photoshop, Adobe Suite, Ulead, Video Creator. It's small, lightweight, powerful. Multitasking with Vista is seamless. Processor and memory do not max out easily. But for me, the tablet mode compensates for this hot drawback.
No lags and delays. Fast working time. Great for work and entertainment. Can play most of the new games on this laptop.
This laptop is very good as for its price. its problem though is that is runs very hot, and the battery drains a bit fast. still adjusting to mouse. I wish I could switch the lights off. nevertheless, the touch screen feels good, and the keyboard is very conformable. Another annoying issue is the lights of the buttons of the screen.
Well, I think most laptops get hot - unless you're running a video or loaded a webpage on steroids, the heat is just about same as other laptops. It makes it virtually unuseable unless you are in a dimly lit room. You won't notice the difference when you tap the keys a few times - but when you spend hours typing - you will. Along with the hard keyboard, this is one of the most "unergonomic" laptops in the market. The glossy screen is extremely painful in a room with fluorescent lighting. Some users have mentioned that it gets pretty hot.
I haven't even tried it in daylight. The laptop performs well most of the time. My only complaint - the keyboard keys are too hard. Went in to buy a VAIO, but the touch screen was irresistible. I've had this laptop for less than 24 hours now.
Hewlett Packard's technical support could not fix the problems either. Hewlett Packard Executive Office also refused to repair or exchange the TX2510. I asked Office Depot for a refund but Office Depot would not honor their two week return policy. If you do purchase this expensive door stop; I recommend that you also purchase the following accessories: mittens for the heat, headphones to block out the fan noise, Ibuprofen for the eye and neck strain, a long extension cord, and a backup DVD player so you will be able to make it to the end of your movie.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
Since Vista is the problem, I asked if I could downgrade to Win XP. Negatives: the TX2510 has a vastly underpowered Central Processing Unit, a very slow hard drive, a short battery life, runs very hot, and has a substandard display. Staples refunded my full purchase price without any questions. Conclusion: The TX2510 is a total loss unless you want a to use it as a DVD player. Positives: nice ergonomics.
The operating system would not shut down when attempting to reboot. My first TX2510 died after less than four hours of use. I cannot recommend the TX2510, it is a poor choice for your consideration. As a professional and certified computer professional, I applied all my skills but was unable to fix any of the problems. I had to take out the battery to power off.
HP blamed the many problems on Windows Vista. I purchased a second TX2510 from Office Depot and found that the operating system and applications software often froze, just locked-up or presented the Blue Screen of Death. HP stated that the TX2510 cannot be downgraded to Windows XP.
Once the fan kicks in, it blows hot air like Chinese dragon. I purchased it mostly with intention to use it as PDF reader and for the tablet function. If you can live with it, this is the best tablet PC you can get for The noise is very noticeable even in moderately crowded rooms. The major gripe I have with it is the HEAT or my the HEAT.
The fan is super noisy. I live in Phoeniz, AZ and the last thing I need is the extra heat on my lap. The computer is fast when it is up and running. This little gem is doing everything well and more.especially after "decrapification" with PC decrapifier. So if you are sensitive to these issues, I would recommend to stay away from this product.
Fingerprint reader allows you to login into webaccounts, which are too many these days, with just a sweep of a finger very convenient and actually useful. The handwriting input and recognition are nothing short but amazing. A little slow to boot and switch users.
