Hands On With the HP TX2000 Tablet PC

[helljason]

this was an amazing laptop... i got it 4 years ago n still using it...

[Daghead]

This PC was an insult, but it took most of us at least 2 years to realize it just because it was so damn cool.

Touch sucks on Windows. Inking is horribly inefficient. Fingerprint reader didn't even work with OneNote. Media buttons easy to press accidentally. No volume buttons in tablet mode. The resistive touchscreen sucks after a few months (mine replaced twice). Webcam software and typical bloatware is shit. The Altec Lansing speakers are shit... Finally getting a MBP soon.

[EfulfillmentplusCom]

Awosome tablets. Like the pressure sensitive Wacom Digitizer, Just bought a refurbished one with modified heatsink. Run much cooler and consume less battery. Price at 55% off original retail. I think they still has a few Tx2000, tx2500 and TX2. If you want one, let me know.

[Clazzy8]

I have this laptop and it sucks. Don't waste your money on it.

[SFseis]

@Clazzy8 Would you mind to tell us why?! ;-)

[Clazzy8]

@SFseis Sure. First they overheat ALOT. Literally it could burn your legs off. Second, the graphics card on this laptop is terrible...it has troubles even running the most basic games (granted its not meant to be a gaming laptop). Third, the battery life is actually very short and minimizes the power of the laptop when not plugged in. The processors run really slow when not charging. Finally, the laptop is really heavy and isn't very portable at all..very hard to use for long periods of time.

[ilocstatusi]

HP products suck. reasearch the hp tx1000z tablet and thousands of unsatisfied customers before buying an HP tablet or product.

Get a toshiba or MAC instead.

[sommerboy6]

They made these in the 70's, it was called an 'etch and sketch'

[evilelton]

I find it very difficult to draw large organic molecules with an etch and sketch =(

[Pikmeir]

IMO, a plain, lightweight tablet PC can kick the crap out of any ipad or hp-slate.

While a single-piece PC is a good idea, the fact that it's missing so many things such as a mouse, keyboard, cd-drive and usb-drive makes it worthless to what i'd need it for.

they keep trying to kill the laptop with all their new devices, but i can see people still using laptops and desktops way into the future.

[anticommon]

There was a naked man on the movie in the background.

[hardyx91252614]

[shikamaru526]

[94thts]

Yea XP is way faster than vista!.. But windows 7 is faster than XP..

[alxreverb120]

could somebody help me with my decision

[dilaro4]

It's just plastic! It gets really warm. it gives two battery on is like 1 hour and the other one is 1.5 hour which is bad.

[honjaneun]

It's really awesome... I named my tablet L Lawliet.. hehe -my tablet heats up though, is this normal or should i get it fixed?.. :(

[unlucky121]

i want this computer so bad

i've never seen a pc so amazing

built in mich ,cam,dvd rom with a remote,and lastly its also a tablet this pc is awesome

[mrlorio]

i understand that you want this computer.. i'll get mine in 2 days XD its totally awsome

[marcelchelo]

it has a good vatery life

3 to 4 hours

[Kromius99]

my macbook has 4.5 hours

[marcelchelo]

your point is...???

[Kromius99]

in my opinion and everybody in my class ( 43 people) like macs more.

[marcelchelo]

ok. i dont wanna know what you or your classmates like. both mac and microsoft come up with good ideas. but i prefer this laptops because mac hasnt come up with any touch screen labtops so far.

[blackangelit]

i think the battery should last a bit longer, but it's not that bad (i hope^^)

and for "i like macs more" ... there is a video of a Leopard on this machine :P ... try get a mac with touchscreen for 800-900€^^

[Kbrown666]

Everybody complains about how hot this pc gets, but if you guys dont know thats why hp sell a special stand for this pc. What did u all expected? u should thank God that such a small laptop with such an impressive performance exists. The only reason it gets really hot is because u use it on your bed or on a similar surface. Next time consider a better surface or buy the stand.

[marcovit]

The heat is way less now then the TX2500,

(the bigest upgrade from 2500 to 2550)

[fredylg]

i used to use it on a desk and it burned it

[LMLCo]

where did u get that pen??

[jjjhedder]

came with accesories when you order the computer,its a digitizer pen

[LMLCo]

no it didn't i got it and it came with the regular pen not the wacom pen.

[Southcoaststudent18]

I'm selling mine on the British ebay with Office 07,

search for "HP Pavilion" tx2050ea.

[yagameyugi]

How is its main backround facilitation? Its hardware? Its Weight? It size? Its touch responses? Its ease of use? Its Keyboard? Its OS? Its speed? Its RAM? Its processor? Its INSERTED PROGRAMS LIKE QUICKPLAY? Its diskdrives? Its

[LMLCo]

okay in order: Good Good Little heavy 12 in great /fast easy little loud good very fast awsome great good slow

[bbourke85]

take

your

hand

off

the

enter

key

please

[bobebobebob]

funny

[theanimemasterman]

I call Bull shit. The battery they have in is the extended and it will get 2 hours if your lucky. The other one is some kind of super extended battery and I'm pretty sure he is lining about its battery life also. This thing blows so much heat you'd think it was a hair dryer. I have one and with I had gone with a different brand.

[jjjhedder]

I HATE IT WHEN THE FAN IS ON,sit it on your lap in the winter and youll get warm though lol,i got the extended battery and it lasts abouy 4.5 hours,said its supposed to last about 6 or 7

[fredylg]

mine last 4.2

[Kbrown666]

Thats why they sell a special stand for this pc, if you put it on your legs because ur a lazy ass guy is not hp's fault. What did u expected? u should thank God that such a small laptop with such an impressive performance exists.

[golfvilla]

I have had mine for a week and I'm getting very frustrated. I don't know if it is Vista or the PC. Several times now it won't come out of sleep mode and I have to do a hard reboot. Several times it just lost connection with my wireless router. The Connect To function can't find my wireless router and just keeps running. The fan is quiet but runs hot. I can't get it to find my HP DV8000 running XP but the file transfer function worked. Other than that it is a nice little machine.

[yagameyugi]

Um.......can you connect it to your desktop?

[edito777]

You can connect it to your monitor if thats what you mean.

[InfamouzRedzz]

can the remote power on or off the laptop?

[RobbieNohra]

what software are you using??

[russell2030]

gross

[jayc7176]

i have had this notebook for 2 months now & i love it!!!

[andrewwk6]

is it heavy?

[Archadios]

Can you rest your hand on the screen while drawing? Also, is the pen to mouse pointer close to pixel perfect?

[IISKETCHII]

ya... the pen and screen are made and sponsered by wacom....

[MakeMeL2]

so , for example i want to draw , and i use photoshop or other soft , it's good for drawing?

[andrewwk6]

yeah man!

[thezmaster505]

how hot does it get

[Eeeeeeeeeemil]

Can you say something to the noise?

Du you hear the fan, when you work with the book? Especially when you read texts! Or marking them with the pen...

[gottabemobile]

From what I remember, the noise level is pretty comparable to other tablets and notebooks

[Daghead]

I think I'd buy one right now if only a matte screened version was available. the "echo" thing is really stupid if you ask me.

[JC23333]

nah trust me mat is crap it hurts your eyes and it not as sharp trust me

[DaPhils]

can u turn what you wrote on the screen into text

[gottabemobile]

yes - you can convert the ink to text

[Toshio21]

can the touchscreen be used with programs like photoshop or indesign?

[Veetluhrk]

The touch screen is not software based wich means it works lika a regular touch pad/mouse all the time, unbound to the operating system. Works even when Vista is not running. Don't remember what HP calls their direct view.

[Doahh]

In reply to this and to add to it the Wacom touch screens work and are integrades with some software like Corel painter 9/10 which uses all the pressure levels and such...

[carsonjrogers]

Just ordered mine, should be here tomorrow. 2.4 gig AMD X2, 4gig RAM. I am stoked.

[knorx97]

can the fan get annoyingly loud?

[gottabemobile]

it is a little loud, but not annoyingly so.

[Beeds5]

Thanx for the info :-)

[Beeds5]

How do you get the full screen writing pad ?

[gottabemobile]

launch Journal - comes standard in Vista, and is a part of Windows XP Tablet Edition

[DUDEMANGUY5]

sweet

[Finnegani]

its super cool and only 1000 dollars

[LTF85199]

jus odered mine!

[jehzlau]

I'm gonna get this before december 2008 heheh :D

[xandebc]

how much is the tx2000 ?

[pandaSmore]

Correct me if i'm wrong but i beleive the lowest price is 1299 and the highest price is 2100 in USD.

[felipemarquardt]

The highest price now on Hp´s site is 999,99.

[gottabemobile]

yes - the tx2000 supports the active digitizer pen...the pointer follows the pen.

[DC430]

I'm thinking about getting one, but I have a question. Does it have an active pen? Basically, if you just hover the pen over the screen (without touching), does the pointer follow the pen? Thanks

[zombie018]

I need to buy it, that hurts in mexico not yet sold

[Enteeh]

some wild fruity looping on this here touch screen! hell yeah!

[gottabemobile]

I believe it is pressure sensitive

[podop]

Just wondering is the pen and screen pressure sensetive? considering if you would like to use it to draw pressure sensetive for me atleast is quite important, if so I'm absolutely going for a tablet PC next time =)

[Noqoza32]

of course you can draw on it

[gottabemobile]

yes, you can draw on it.

[Noqoza32]

i am going to get that tablet on June 2nd 2008!

[scarmack121]

can you draw on these? all i see is them writing? but could you draw on them like u can on the other ones...
