3 out of 5 stars Three features missing   August 18, 2008
Nice machine - a tad heavy and brittle. When HP adds three features to the next generation, I am sold on it: HDMI, better battery life/choices, and multi-touch. A higher screen resolution would be nice, too. HP is improving...


1 out of 5 stars Defective motherboard   August 3, 2008
  1 out of 21 found this review helpful

The HP PC's are TRASH in my opinion. I bought the DV6226US in March 2007, and my System Board fried just 7-1/2 months later. They replaced it, and 8 months later if fried again - and HP wouldn't cover it. With the excessive heat no wonder! A system board crashing is rare but 2 boards in 16 months is nothing but defective product - pure and simple. DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT


5 out of 5 stars A great laptop and tablet for the price   August 2, 2008

HP Pavilion TX2510US 12.1" Laptop (2.10 GHz AMD Turion X2 ZM-80 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Black

I had purchased the original TX1215 a while back, and that laptop was terrible. Although it was considered a tablet, it was not WACOM enabled and you had to press hard on the screen to write. The processor was slow and at times the machine was unusable. I sold it on eBay within 2 months and forgot about it.

However, I was impressed by the reviews of the TX2510us, and after trying it out and finally buying it, it is a terrific little machine. Leaps ahead of the tx1000 series, it has the WACOM tablet, the processor is MUCH faster, and it has great features. I recently used it to take notes in a week-long training class and I was amazed at how well it worked. Handwriting training also helped minimize conversion to text errors, which was impressive. Surprisingly, graphics were much improved as some (but not all) of the RAM was dedicated, and the rest can be allocated up to a gig. Running games are NOT an issue any more. Another surprise is if you up the machine to 4GB, it will still recognize ALL the RAM even though you have a 32-bit OS. The OS only uses about 3.2GB of RAM, but the rest can be allocated to the video card without regard to the OS (this is actually handled in BIOS).

The laptop does run hot, but not as hot as the TX1215. The form factor is basically the same but I never had an issue with that. Also, the screen is a bit cloudy at times but with brightness turned all the way up it still looked fine. Finally, I found that battery life, a problem with the TX1000 series, seems to be improved. Got almost 3 hours with Wi-fi and Bluetooth on and pretty close to full brightness. Using the included battery as well.

I think I got my money's worth with this one. Highly recommended.



4 out of 5 stars Better than expected   July 29, 2008
  5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I will not repeat many of the comments here, which are fundamentally accurate. The machine performs well in Vista with software programmed for the OS. This unit comes with the 32-bit version, so it can run many (but not all) XP programs. Multimedia programs for audio and video need to be vista compatible, in particular.

Con:

The tablet mode screen (flat) is very difficult to see, since you have to be about 75 to 90 degrees (nearly above) the screen...basically on top of it looking down. It does not display legibly at all from a 45 degree angle. HP even makes a $50 variable angle stand for just this reason.

This is true of all tablets I have seen.

I very much like the touch interface for certain tasks, even when not in tablet mode.

The future will hold better viewing angles and multi-touch screens I hope.




4 out of 5 stars Much Improved and Highly Productive Tablet   July 19, 2008

As an artist, what sold me on this PC was the fact that this second gen model of the tx series now offered a WACOM pen. Also, I wanted a small labtop for easy portability. I didn't want to lug around a 17 or 15 inch size laptop. This was the best of both worlds and to top it off, it's a solid machine loaded with features that work, like the finger print ready is the coolest!!! Works like a charm. My only two gripes would be that the machine does get rather warm (from the AMD processor?) sometimes hot along with the battery life isn't the longest but I usually plug it in with the cord. But otherwise I've had no other issues and it's been great for on the go and traveling. I personally enjoy the vista OS and have had no issues. It automatically does everything I need it to do along with prompting me to OK software use. Works like a charm.
