This review is from: HP TouchSmart tx2-1270us 4GB Memory 12.1" 1280 x 800 Tablet PC Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
Pros:
Keyboard is amazingly easy to use, when needed. The pen is just plain wonderful. Surprisingly decent sound. Not too kludgy once the bloatware is removed, even with Vista. I can't wait to put Windows 7 on it. The handwriting recognition is close to psychic.
Cons:
Heat could turn out to be an issue. I will definitely be getting a chill mat. Naturally, it has a ton of bloatware that needs to be uninstalled, but almost all "store-bought" computers do. Battery life could be better. The fingerprint reader doesn't seem to like my fingers. The included voice recognition leaves a something to be desired, but I guess that's why we have Nuance out there.
Overall Review:
I was fully prepared to hate this machine and send it back. However, I'm in love with it. It does everything I've wanted. It's small enough that I was able to buy a purse that I can carry it in, but still large enough so that the screen is easy to read. I can readily envision it simply replacing my trusty little PDA. I got it because I needed a tablet for design work, and what I've been able to do with it just playing around for a couple of days amazes me. I don't even have my "good" software installed yet. CAVEAT: It has been my experience with other products that HP's customer service sucks. That is one of the reasons I was very reluctant to order this machine. I really hope I won't need to deal with them over this computer.
