  • hello greetings, buy HP Pavilion g4, pre-installed Windows 7 Starter, which is too simple, and look for a cereal and I could upgrade to ultimate, one day I found a system called windows8 download and install it, but it is in English, which do not quite understand and are not registered and I can not install the updates, so I can not switch to Spanish and try to restore the factory system, but disappeared recovery Manager, please re-install and recovery Manager?

  • hey....WIFI doesn't work on mine and the touch screen went years ago and it overheats......the black screen coming soon no doubt.

  • Is there a nice notebook out there?

  • I have it for a long time. Its a bit hot. But never had problems even in summer on 40 degress and i dont turn it off for a days ... caying it to school and everywhere. only battery is a bit issue , no lont time work on battery but all others is perfect.

  • My sister has one of these. It gets really really hot, and recently it started having the notorious blank screen problem. I can tell you that I will never let anyone I know buy another HP laptop.

  • DO NOT TRUST THIS RETARDED BITCH. THIS LAPTOP SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED MY LIFESPAN AND SO DID SHE.

  • @hmlee90 lol, wow, just wow

  • This is the worst notebook on the market! I got it for christmas a long time ago and it worked for a week! iv'e had to replace the power adapter 12 times (but this new adapter thats not from HP works great), the wifi card 4 times, and my hard drive twice.

    And it keeps over-heating and the darn touchscreen wont work! and it scratches to easily (especially for a touchscreen). But to look on the bright side, at least it works, compared to the old IBM sitting next to it.

  • same happent with me, wifi dont work (rarely) i use now wlan usb adapter. and that lights turn up for 5 sec and shut down thing. i remeoved laptop motherboard and then heated it with hairdryer like 10minutes and now my laptop works again :D. but i have other problems like if i install windows 7 then blue screen pops up sometimes. This laptop is PIECE OF SHIT =)

  • EVERYONE: I bought my computer 2-3 years ago, and i have no problems with it, i LOVE my computer :-) I think that it is werid that so many people have problems with this computer.

  • i hate when people speak about micros n they dont know nothing about it. yeah intel is great, amd is bad. jajajajajajajajaj.first amd have better tech n design, use ht 32 bit, full duplex n speed. package system is s o i. ur intel is only 20 bit maximun, half duplex n speed use old n cheap package system. also use more power n heat much for that. also the intel drivers sucks.

  • I can understang when u give bad information about micro's. amd have bad perfomance?????????. of course intel pay u. amd have better design n tech. that hp suck n was made by hannstar like all. then that laptop have nvidia, have problem with the display dont turn too much. i have 5 client they buy the tx 1250us n 3 of them have problem with the display. of course i repaired n works great. upgrade the bios n driver always.

  • i got these notebook since 2008 and still working ,. its just a proper use,

    and i triple boot it , with xp, vista and 7 ,, and by october ill quadroboot with ubuntu's latest version ,,

  • DO NOT BUY THIS SERIES OF COMPUTERS!! THEY WILL GET BURNED BY THEMSELVES, ALL OF THEM!

  • Help me i am trying to find a really good PC tablet that i can draw on and use photoshop on.

  • I'd like to slap this bitch. This computer is worthless. If you have any sense, don't buy hp.

  • @MITYFLEA what would you prefer?

  • did she say ultraportable?

  • @TheOnlyRoxtar yess you were right....my wifi died....and my laptop turns off every 1 hour!....but now i sold it and baught a HP compaq 6910p

  • I LOVED this laptop when it WORKED!!!! but 1st i lost the wi-fi( like everyone) then when i would try to turn it on and the lights would light up for like 5 secs then it would shut down(like 1600+ other people) now it will turn on but there will be nothing on the screen. there is a petion online to get reimburst for our laptops there are over 1600 signatures on it but HP fails to reconize it is there mothereboard, nuvida, and the laptop overheating. DO NOT GET THIS LAPTOP

  • the wifi feature in this laptop is not working only shows that the only network connection is tthe broadband can u help me thank u

  • I like the newer version

  • i am one of hp tx1000 victim~ JUST STAY AWAY FROM HP~ it will be fine......

  • thank you very much for the info , I've already found out there is a problem with those older models so I bought TX2520ej second handedly for cheap. I hope it will work fine

  • should I buy tx1000? is it good?

  • i would say no. it runs really hot and that will be the death of it

  • The tx1000 series is not reliable. Google "TX1000 Nvidia" and you'll find loads of links to unhappy users who's laptops have failed at approx 16 months, and then been given woeful support by HP (even though it's the same fault as on the DV6000 series which they are fixing).

    In short, if you need a small laptop, you might be better off with a netbook. The touchscreen isn't really that good on this model anyway.

    As HP have had such 'great' customer service I'm avoiding them in future.

  • lol very tru i fixed mine but the screen works wen it wants it gets very hot after 5 minutes

  • STAY away from HP TX1000....she forgot to mention that its specially designed to work for as long a the warranty expires i.e 1 year

  • warning: do not waste your money on the tx 1000 scam

  • My laptop looks ALMOST exactly like that, but it doesn't have the stylus and no fingerprint scanner. At the botton left corner of the screen it says HP Pavilion tx 1000. Can anybody tell me if its ACTUALLY called that? D:

  • when you look on the bottom there should be a sticker.. mine says tx1000 on the corner too but on the bottom its tx1305us lol. hope this helps

  • mmm... una pregunta, el touch screen sirve sin el lápiz??

  • NO SIRVE ESTA PC

  • german416 is correct. unless you like throwing money away, do NOT BUY THIS LAPTOP. Again, DO NOT buy this piece of crap. It has KNOWN MAJOR problems which HP refuses to correct or even recognize, and they usually occur 1 to 2 months after warranty is up. These problems are not caused by the user, but a HORRIBLE design flaw that causes the graphics card to pull away from the motherboard due to overheating. These are the worst pieces of machinery available today. DO NOT BUY HP.

  • I have to agree with you, but unfortunately, it's only because I've bought the laptop to know not to have bought it :(

  • yeahhhh that sucks my friend. sorry to hear it. good luck on your next purchase! get a technical friend to help you out when you choose yer new computar!

  • Don´t buy this laptop.

  • Why is that?

  • Read what ilovebitchcakes wrote.

    This laptop was a rip off, some says that it was a mayor fraud in HP and that the HP people new about this but they decided to be quiet so they keept this as a secret, hiding information so they could avoit lawsuits.

    The Nvidia people knew about this also but they decided to go against HP suing them for hiding info and for the damaged cause to their name and product.

  • i'm gonna get that one next fryday...i'm like going crazy about it../.i'm zo deeply in love with it...i can't wait to have it in my hands..

    Is it a good laptop?..

  • TERRIBLE. DO NOT BUY.

  • i have it....whats so bad about it?.....1 thing i hate of this laptop is the AMD possessor

  • Mine too, funny thing is they've recalled the dv6000 which has the same chipset.

  • My tx1000 died after 11 months. First the wireless card disapeared (didn't show up in the device manager). After that it just stopped working.

    Problem is a faulty motherboard. A problem with the 6150 GO GPU and nvidia chipset.

    Worst part is that HP completely ignrored all of their customers who had the problem.

    Just Google: hp wireless disappeared

  • ive had this laptop for 3 years, and its working fine for me.

    the only problem i had was the screen light went out and tehb charger broke...but it got fixed for free.

    i like this laptop

  • This laptop fucking sucks. I was deceived by the swiveling. Mine also died after warranty expired. WTF.

  • 1:48 it gave an error message lol

  • THIS LAPTOT SUCKS!! HP SUCKS!

  • this comp blows. I hate mine. Wireless adapter died. Motherboard died. Pos is made of PLASTIC Don't buy:( I agree IBM/Lenovo!!!

  • god I have a DV6000 and it sucks.. I hate the integrated graphics thats in it, never ever get the nvidia geforce go 7150m! DX

    but I'm ordering a brand new dell 17 inch studio on monday =D since I have better luck with dell.

  • only two words... IBM/Lenovo!

  • YEAH:

    Do NOT buy this LAPTOP, it dies right after the warranty period expires!! Save yourself the money and buy anything but HP guys.

  • whats the best touchscreen laptop or tablet in terms of speed how responsive the screen is durabilty price(lower than $1600) and overall power ?

  • Do not buy this LAPTOP, it dies right after the warranty period expires!! Save yourself the money and buy anything but HP guys.

  • i have it too, the touch screen is not very convenient to use tho, its cool and all, but not really usefull.. its good for schooling but if u want the pc for gaming then u should concider another pc..

  • No HDMI?

  • my touch screen dosent work at all. do u have to download a program? is there a photo booth when i can change the color and effect of a pic that im taking? please answer.

  • The touch screen should work... you have to have a stylus though, or use the tip of your finger. As for your photos, Your computer should have come with basic Windows editing, but mine also came with Painter IX.

  • nope still dosent work.

  • i have this laptop and its pretty cool but the touch screen doesnt work good with fingers and the webcam i saw somewhere had lots of stuff to do with the vids and pics and it doesnt do that soo booo but its an ok laptop

  • well you've seen the tx2 ;)

  • how kum wen i turn the screen it dunt become touch and i cnt fnd the touch stylus. i no tht i hav this pc.... i cheked, but i dnt no wer the pen is or if i hv to changee setting to make i tough

  • it's not made for gaming ;) Just upgrade the graphic card

  • 1855 bucks?! wth i bought that laptop for 850 1k less in offcie depot but anyway dont buy it sucks all the hp pavilion tx series notebooks have the same problem with the wireless card, it just dies!!!!! and gues what there is not solution for it as i have try to fix it for about 5 months ago and still cant find a solution not even with the hp support web site, so dont waste ur money with this computer i know it looks really cool but sont buy it! it has to many problems specially w the wifi

  • i bought this laptop 11 months ago. First the sd card slot decided to break. My sd card wouldn't click so i had to either hold in the card or use a cord. And then just recently it wouldn't turn back on. All of the lights would come on but the screen would just stay black. Talked to a guy at HP and they said it's common for this model -_-. So thank god I still had a month left on the warranty. Sent it in and just just got it back (no more than a week later) and everything seems to be fixed.

  • Hmm.. one question.. i want to send mine's also .. because it died after warranty period expired.. so.. any idea about the price? haha please help!

  • i wish i could help, but they fixed mine for free since it was under warranty. i'm sure you could talk to somebody that works for HP and they could give you an estimate or something of you tell them the problem.

  • I wish the reviewers who tell the true would stand up or sit down and tell the true to you and I, loudly tell the true to you and I. We all want true.

  • And now speak english please.

  • This laptop will most likely die. Mine has and a lot of others too. If you want a 1000 dollar vegetable of a laptop after a year then buy this or else stay away from HP.

    Most users who have this laptop have mobo problems right out of the warranty period so we are de screwed.

  • It is very true. My mobo died 15 months after use. I was lucky enough to purchase an extended warranty.

  • HP provides all expenses paid repairs on mobo BIOS problems and takes about 10 days to get it fixed from the time it leaves the house and back for shipment. I agree that I wouldn't buy HP ever again, but don't fucking spread garbage information allover the web assole!

  • They provide free repairs even on the laptops out of warranty cause this is a wide spread issue. Retard~~~

  • Comment removed

  • It's crap!

    the screen is horrible! you always slightly miss what you are pointing at with your pen. the computer is horrible slow!

  • what happens if i upgrade the ram ? will it make the pc better? cuz this pc is really damn slow

  • I wouldn't, save your money and buy something else. While this one was in the shop once I bought a Acer loaner laptop the Extensa 5630z. Cheap, simple and quite powerful for the price you pay, it's nothing to look at, and it's quite mediocre but I'd take it over this anyday.

  • Worst computer in the world. The screen is terrible on the eyes, it looks like someone put a dotted sticker foil over the screen... it always looks smudged. It's slow, takes ages to boot up and is REALLY noisy and runs REALLY hot. I can't believe I made it through my first year of uni with that machine! Ugh.

  • Thank you. I Hate This Computer. It's a novelty computer and nothing else.

  • Your video card will crap out in about a year. Do not buy this computer. If you want more feed back go to Hp forum.

  • This computer is poorly made. I ran into so many hardware problems. T.T

  • looks 2 damn big to be 12.1 inch screen... looks like maybe 14.1 or 13.3 incher.

  • I own two. Bought them new for my biz when they came out. they both overheat and shut down at temps of 200F+. Design flaw. Case is too close to the processor to allow for breathing room.

  • i have tis notebook....i had to get it fixed for the lcd light going off and it gets overheated in 10 min!

    it burns your lap!!!!

    the touchscreen is okay

    but the webcam deosnt pik up sound and if u pause the webcam while making a video it cuts off the last 5 secs of your video so they cant here u saying goodbye...

    7/10

  • this is my pc i sall his cont me!

  • It's spelled Dell XT

  • Been using this for a year and must say it is the best in its line. One little problem is overheating but i guess heating and AMD go hand in hand. Overall 7/10

  • Could you play games like wc3 frozen throne witout any problems on this computer???

  • all settings lowered would make it run ok, slightly laggy.

  • the thing is that wc3 is laggy but the newer game generals : zero hour goes without problems in medium settings ...dont know why

  • the funny thing is that it can play the more graphic intensive game generals on medium graphics and its very smooth

  • lol ive scratched mine so badly

  • aoooow asian

  • i have it and i like it but it gets REALLY hot and i dont like the speakers that much but im not sure y

  • i have it and it is very good good things: my battery last 3 hours and y love the size the bad things i have it gets hot and the screen has like gliter

  • It's my computer now, it is beautiful, Ilove it <3 but IT IS EXTREMELY HOT !!!!!! :D

  • Don't buy this I was out to get the computer of my dreams. I put in the 2.3ghz processor 4 gigs of ram vista ultimate a 250gig HDD in here like $2700 and I was so disappointed it sucked. So now I use a macbook pro on a daily basis.

  • dude i bought mine like 1300, specs is 2.4ghz. 250gb hd, 4gb ram, and just the vista premium. you are so overcharged.

  • Okay here is what i think about my laptop tx2000 after i bought it when i watched all the tx series youtube movies and reviews on the internet. Good thing: touch screen- do watever you wanted, internet card- fast with bluetooth price- fair enough for a touch screen screen- you can fold it, turn it around, or write ur lectures! style- you friends, collage, school-mates will get jealous! Bad things: battery sucks. SLOW Screen reflects lights! GETS EXtremely hot!- not recommended in hot places
  • is it possible to change the graphics card? i have a tx1000, and the Nvidia Ge 6150 is sucky, plz reply, thx in advance ;D

  • I really like this review because it shows the facts about the pc, and she makes it easy for you to get her point of view.

  • It is amazing how so many people have differing opinions of this laptop. I have it and have sold 3 others. They all love them, everything works as advertised, the speed is good, no problem with CD drive or fan staying on. No problem with touch screen. I don't understand why others don't like it, I love it, even with Vista. It has 2gb RAM and that is enough for Vista on this machine. Could it be user problems?

  • whoa, yea i heard of linux. but its not the same as windows,

    there is configurations and so forth.

    such as, tweaking around with it.. u cant do that with windows.. on the other hand, this hasnt been proven, since i only heard it..ill do some search, btw thanks it seems that the OS has an effect on the speed.. but ill stick to XP, btw u can delete Vista and put windows right?

  • huh!!!!!

    i own thiz tablet pc.. n i bought thoz 4 frigging $735 buckz + tax...

    thtz a gud deal for a 12.1" , 2 GB RAM , 160 GB MEMORY...

  • Where'd you buy it at?

  • I absolutely hate this laptop. I had to call tech support which took me a whopping 5 hours, Vista is really slow and this laptop just gave me a headache. I am so relieved that I sold it. I will never go back to HP again.

  • One word: Fujitsu

  • aaah this computer is awesome

    im thinkin of buying a new one

    and this one captivated my sight right away--

    the one i saw has a 2.0 GHz AMD Turiton as this one--but here is the q's if it has a 2.0GHz how come your saying it is slow? can it run Photoshop fast? or will

    u have to wait as if ur having an Intel Core Duo 2--cause thats what im in debate as well

    getting this one with whopping gadgets or a normal one with core duo 2 reply plz!

  • Well I guess the speed of the computer will depend heavily on what OS you use... Well for me, I just don't like vista for the number one reason being its slowness. Since I can't really run MAC OS on a non-mac hardware, I normally run Linux on my laptop. The newest version which is called Ubuntu is quite user friendly with its cool graphical desktop applications. And the best thing about it, is it's ten times faster than windows. I guess running linux on this piece of HP will make it faster.

  • i have it, i'm on it... its not touch screen... why?

  • because thats the new version...

    my cusin has the same laptop & is not a touch screen either

    that sucks because the new one has more gbs & its touch screen

    & its only 800$ now

  • 999 at sams club!

  • I also have this laptop and in my opinion is great. I bought the full version and it came with technology I didn`t even knew it existed like the voice command and the finderpritn sensor =S. The touch screen is not a sensible as I would like but you get use to it really quickly. And for you elrohir02, not all versions come with touchscreen, check again and see if yours does.

  • help me, how to activate.. the touchscreen mode in this laptop? i have dis one and i cant use the feature touchscreen..? even though i touch it repeatedly wid the pen it does notihng.. msg me in your reply.. thx for your concern..! but this notebook is very handy and classy. ..^^ i like it.

  • I LOVE THIS COMPUTER!!!

  • i have this computer and i works great... but i think its a little slow

  • its not a touch screen it uses a special pen.

  • no..sHE saiD thaT u cOuld use iiT wiTh the peN or ur hanD..

  • I have just ordered this laptop but I am just wondering about the dots on the screen that someone has previously said. Just how bad are the dots?

  • The 1 hr 45 min battery is based on THEIR battery test, which drains the battery down quickly. On regular usage, the battery should last much longer than 1 hr 45 min, likely around 2 hrs 30 minutes if you're just web surfing.

    I was thinking on buying one of these, but it all comes down to how sensitive the screen is. It's supposed to be adjustable, but how sensitive is it compared to, maybe a Nintendo DS?

  • I got that laptop for christmas and I am very happy with it. Comparing it to a nintendo ds isnt hard. You have to put a little pressure on the touch screen because it has a screen protector. It is much easier to touch a nintendo ds screen but I much prefer having that laptop.

  • Its not like you can profesionally draw, but you can do doodles or descent drawings, The problem here is the display, it haves little dots you can notice... THEY ARE KILLING ME ARGH! After that the laptop its just perfect.

  • The most important/essential feature about portable devices excluding what extra cool features it has, it is the battery power; how long can it stay before you can recharge it. If that feature sucks, then the whole portable device sucks and not worth buying.

  • im getting this as an entertainment pc for like plane rides i am a student wuld this be good for me

  • The screen resolution it is good but not that far. The size (12.1") is very good to me.

    You have to tilt the screen several times to get the view you want.

    Btw, the tablet I wanted is called "Active digitizer", it means that the pen is powered by battery and it has a "Wacom" tablet features, such as pressure and angle sensitive. But this HP is called "Passive digitizer", it means no power in the pen.

  • I don't recommend this tablet pc.

    I bout one yesterday and it has a very very bad sensitive touch screen. Thats mean you have to press HARD with your stylus pen to make your writing or drawings.

    I was amazed at the show room for its size, processor, HD, and camera.

    But what I was really looking for is a tablet that replaces my paper and pen, so I can do my drawings easly with photoshop or other software.

  • hi harbime,

    i am thinking about this laptop, aside from the tablet features, what do you think about the screen? is it hard to read? too small?

  • you do realize that you can adjust the screen settings...my screen is pretty responsive, you have to adjust the screen to the way you write.

  • Wow, excellent review, Kalpana.

  • Could u kindly give a review on HP Pavilion DV9000t please. if you can do for the viewers.. Thanks

  • i've bought the TX 1350ed.

    nice machine!!!!

  • nice review :)

  • you know what i really like this women? shes the only pc user who is telling the truth..thats amazing..i thought pc users would never say the truth..

  • paranoid much?  psy-cho...

  • huh...?

  • I would wait a bit for them to start putting in multitouch screens. IBM has a multitouch laptop but its over $2,000

  • i saw this notebook in a magazine and i really wanted it.

    i might getr it when i graduate from 8th grade..

    hopefully

  • Good Luck on getting this laptop. Im in 6th grade and got it for christmas after being good for 1 year.

  • nvidia geforce go 6150 is better than the intel gma 950?

  • how do you get on the camera and use the the camera please.i need help.

  • pleas i need help

  • there is a program called hp webcam in the desktop

  • well i really dont know but if u have an instant messanger or something then i think thats how u use it..

    im nt quite sure.. but i hpe this elps

  • does the hp tablet has a built in mike and bluetooth

  • Im with ya. I really need to know how to use the camera!

  • Try installing the controller, hope it doesnt cause you the same error that caused me. I had to recover from a recovery point and I dont know why the webcam started working.

  • can it have a tv tuner? Cuz it doesnt have the option for customizing.

  • im getting the TX-1220, does it share the flaws of the TX-1000?

  • I saw this thing at Future Shop and it only costs 1200 bucks.

  • only....

  • I meant in comparison to what she said, it's still really expensive, but I went back there about a month later and saw it for like 1100.

  • lol omg amazing I was planning on buying tht now I guess I should get a 6-cell battery?

  • I just got the tx1270, and it came with both a 4-cell and a 6-cell battery.. i get about 2-3 hours on the 4-cell when working with word ect..

  • is the pen inductive, is it pressure sensitive

  • WTF they talking about battery only lasts 1 hour and 45 mins, I got one and the 4 cell lasts about 2:30 hours to 3 hours depending on what im dpiong and i usualy get about 4 and a half out of the 6 cell

  • im getting the TX-1220, does it share the flaws of the TX-1000?

  • I bought this laptop yesterday and got the 6 cell battery so it should last long enough for me

  • My 4 cell lasted about 2 hours and 45 mins while watching nemo on a plane

    The glare was a bit anoying so i bought one of those no glare screen protectors from ebay and it works great and still has the touch screen capable.

    I love this laptop, mine is the 2.2 4gb and i can run most anything, even got oblivion to run on low graphics

  • it only cost 920!

  • 2Ghz Tl-60 2Gba Ram, that's the TX1270.

  • hehehehe  look the error in windows vista when she select a program hahahaha vista = shit

  • She selected a program ergo it was a fault with the application...

    Think before typing?

  • can you drag objects with your finger?

    can you click, doulbe click, and right click by tapping the screen? is the touchscreen capability only on when the tablet mode is on?

  • yes you can drag items with your finger or stylus, yes you can click, double click and right click, the touchscreen capability works anytime, no matter what orientation you are using

  • if u ahve the laptop how much was it and what is the battery life?

  • Buy a ibm they are wicked

  • battery life blows!

  • i reeeeaally like the fact that you have this touchscreen and a pen for it, and that you can flip over the screen almost anyway you like and use for drawing for example, but from other videos Ive seen it has to long lag time :(

  • what about touchscreen ???

  • Umm touchscreen does not really respond that well because you need to give it a hard pressure or something that is pointy such as your finger nail.

    I suggest that you use the stylus that is already included, and get a screen protector as mines is showing some details of scratching.
