DO NOT BUY HP. And for those who already have the TX2z, wait until you have reached the 18-20 month threshold. Thats when these puppies (the Tx2000z) die. First the wifi goes - you cannot get on the internet, so you buy a netgear 802.11n dongle. Ugly. Then the external monitor display goes - you can only see in 16 bit color if you use an external monitor, so you just use the small 12" laptop monitor. Ugly. All the while the exhaust is spewing out 120 F hot air, so you never put it on your lap. Ugly. Then on the 18th month, it starts to die. First it wont boot up, but maybe it will. So you make sure you are backed up to the hilt. Ugly. Then the crashes happen more often. You call HP Customer service. They pretend to "research the problem" (as if they dont read these forums; as if they dont have their own case histories!) Deceptive. Then after so many useless hours on the phone pretending this is a new and unique problem, they offer to fix it for $340. With a 90 day guarantee. Ugly. I would love to hear of good news from this series. But I am not expecting much from this TX series nor from HP. Ugly.
I've had this laptop for three weeks it's awesome I am a college student with a disability typing has always been difficult for me the digital pen is a life saver I can do assignments and essays much faster and notes are instantly legible even with my terrible handwritting The only drawbracks are short battery life and the computer running hot on occasion Overall this laptop rocks! Thanks HP
I have had excellent experience with HP computers. I just purchased two of the tablets and they are great. I also purchased the extended battery and able to work 4-5 hrs on the battery. Another plus is the extended battery holds the computer up and allows more air flow to keep the temperature down. I have also played around with a lap board with fan because all of the stories of the heat problem. I am not really seeing a big issue with the heat and currently not using the lap board. The touch screen is great, my son is using the journal to take notes during college classes, etc.... I highly recommed this compact computer.
