Not a lot of video reviews, especially for the TM2T. Your videos were exactly what I am looking for. I am a little worried about the mirror finish on the display, but I ordered one anyway. I'll give it a test drive and send it back if I don't like it with the 21 day return policy.

[hydroknight01]

I noticed that you never mentioned what model of the TM2 you were reviewing, and I know there are several models out on the market right now. Would you mind if I asked what model you have?

[TheJacobiphone12405]

does this have flash?

[SkAtErDuDe012345]

@TheJacobiphone12405 yea it runs windows 7.

The word is comfort :p

Great overview, thank you.

Great Video man! I got the TX2500z. They did a good job in eliminating the overheat problem, and the noise from the fan from the previous model. I like that they added a HDMI connection, and most of the upgrades on the display. Too bad that they didn't add the optical drive and the Expansion port, I used those a lot. Looking forward to your next video.

The mic comes with the laptop right?

Because im gonna customize mine and i need a mic with it.

Do i have to get webcam to get the mic?

[veivo]

[iNSeRTCLeVRNaMeHeRe0]

@Anthony437

No, it only comes in the color in the video, sry! But maybe u could get a case...

[rafevl]

Does it have an SD card slot?

[veivo]

@rafevl it has a four in one card reader, that's all i know about it's support for memory cards

[professorLing]

[Anthony437]

[nataponh]

[1stage]

Good review. Thanks! I can't wait for mine to finally get here!

[heatlesssun]

Fingerprint scanner.

[coolcathh]

whats a fingerprint thingy

[veivo]

@coolcathh It allows you to log on by swiping your finger over the fingerprint sensor and it is an alternative to passwords. Each account can be customised with it's own fingerprint.

[Ronnie51026]

how is the webcam, speakers and microphone quality, For webcam i am more interested in the resolution and refresh/frame rate, and the microphone it is important to have clearity, and the speakers need to be loud enough to hear it and clear.

About how well does this tablet fit?

[veivo]

@Ronnie51026 I know the speakers are of good quality, better than the tx2, and they are very loud for such a small device, but not quite as loud as the tx2.

[Ronnie51026]

@veivo What? I asked if the quality was good of the webcam speakers and microphone, I never said anything about the tx2.

[veivo]

@Ronnie51026 and they are

[Ronnie51026]

@veivo good.

[RealDiehl17]

In this model you have the dedicated ATI graphics card. I heard that you are able to switch between the ATI dedicated graphics card and the Intel graphics media accelerator based on whether the unit is on battery power or plugged in. (You would use the Intel graphics media accelerator to save battery power when the unit is not plugged in and use the ATI graphics card when the unit is plugged in) Is this true and if so how do you switch between them?

[veivo]

@RealDiehl17 It is true and you can switch between them in the control pannel.

[mattyk124]

i just bought this laptop online and should get it in a few weeks and your videos were exactly what i wanted to learn about the laptop and if there are any cool things you could tell me about this laptop you didn't mention so i could expect some other things and i was wondering if you could tell me a little more about the fingerprint reader cause i got that on mine and if you could tell me some cool things about that would be great

[MrsTessixD]

i'm from germany so i don't understand the whole things but i would like to know what the hp driver with the same finish does cost (maybe you said it but i didn't understand it, sorry)

thank you

Tessi =)

Do you know if they have this laptop on Best Buy stores, and not online?

[EddPato]

Thanks for posting the videos, it was really helpfull for me.

Do you know if they have this laptops in BestBuy stores? Or in what stores? Because I can't order it online.

[ewenjam]

should i wait for this or just get the tx2

[heatlesssun]

What country are you in? As far as I know these things are available all over North America and Europe.

You really don't want a tx2. I have a tx2 and while it was a decent machine the tm2 is MUCH better. Especially when it comes to heat and noise. The tm2 simply doesn't produce much heat or noise unlike the tx2.

[newbieharris]

Thanks a lot for this great video! It shows off the strengths of the tm2 really well. I was a bit worried about the screen, but from what I see I think it will be fine for me.

Just two quick remarks though: First on the audio jack, this is a combined mic/audio out jack (featuring a 4 pin output) so in principle one can connect a normal set- needs some kind of splitter though and I have not found one yet.

Second, I think one should stress that "home" etc keys are still there, as "fcn+up" etc. :)

[heatlesssun]

Good follow up points and thanks for the kind words.

[savz23]

Great reviews heatlesssun, thanks for the info!

[unitedmesa]

how many hours does battery last whats battery life

[thejosephij]

9.7 hours

[jtad114]

4.5

[newbieharris]

@unitedmesa From what I've read, 7 hours is realistic, with wifi off, brightness down etc. The official 9.7 is as usual a, let's say, "optimistic" estimate. :)

[natethegreat787]

2 - in order to set the view properly, you can start the magnifier program in windows 7. set it to full-screen at 100 percent, and the click on "invert colors". the keyboard shortcut for this is control/shift/I

thank you very much; your review is greatly appreciated!! :)

[natethegreat787]

1 - thank you for the review. one hold up for me is the glossy screen...since i often use black backgrounds with white text. can you tell me how the black levels are? how much of a difference do u see with the led backlight versus the lcd backlight of the tx2?? and finally, could you by chance tell me if there is any issues with reflections when viewing this in low light settings with the black backgrounds?

[TheHazyMind]

Nice, can't wait to get this

[davidcruz151]

now I want one even more! How well do you think this machine will run photoshop with the intel integrated graphics card?

[heatlesssun]

From what I'm hearing Photoshop runs fine on the base configuration model.
