  Fantastic product mainly for corporate purpose. Easy to use, very stable and light. Small to carry everywhere with good resources. REcommend.

  I have wanted to buy a tablet pc for a long time now, and I did some serious research before making this purchase - and I’m glad I did. It’s wacom penabled, which is a must for any artist, as well as being within a normal consumer/starving artist budget. All other tablet pcs were over $1000 which was just out of my budget.
  There are a few things that I could live without however. The battery life is about 2 hours when running on high performance, which is nearly essential if you want to use it in tablet mode. The pen is delayed, but not enough to affect my artwork in a negative way. Sometimes when converting into slate mode the screen does not switch, and requires a restart. The processor runs very hot, but I usually use my laptop while wearing pants so its never uncomfortable. I can run firefox and Photoshop simultaneously with very little lag but if the processor gets hot it will slow down. All in all a great product for the price, with a few minor problems but the savings makes it worth it.

  i purchased this HP laptop because of it’s ability to use as a journal with the ONE NOTE application. i use this for our office because we are going green with paperless (or as little paper as possible) so we write everything on the laptop and save it on a external drive. it works out very well for us and i like the price of HP laptops, very affordable….especially when i had to purchase a total of five of these! I had to buy all five laptops separately because of budget and my fifth laptop was from Amazon. They had one of the better prices i found online.

  PROS:
  - Its the least expensive tablet on the market
  - Removable DVD Drive with Bay Cover
  - Very nice keyboard
  - Looks great

  CONS:
  - Short battery life (2.5 hours)
  - Touchpad lacks horizontal scroll
  - Super high-gloss screen is a pain in 80% of lighting conditions
  - Comes pre-loaded with so much bloat-ware that it renders the computer unusable until you install your own OS
  - Too heavy
  - Its cheap for a reason–mine has been sent in for repair twice in 6 months

  I really wanted to love this tablet. It was my first tablet and I had been looking forward to it for a while. Unfortunately I’ve been let down. After 3 months of ownership the RAM failed and I had to send it in for repair. After 6 months of ownership the tablet began making high-pitched digital noises, the SD card reader broke, and 1 of the quicklaunch buttons stopped illuminating. After getting it back from repair the second time, I posted it to eBay.

  This laptop is really too heavy to be comfortably used as a tablet. It is impossible to use standing up, holding in the left hand and writing with the right. Your left wrist will quickly become exhausted.

  As I said above, this comes loaded with so much proprietary software (bloat ware) that the computer is literally unusable. I reformatted the harddrive and installed Windows 7 beta and the laptop worked so fast that it was like an entirely new machine.

  For the price, this tablet is unbeatable. Problem is that it is cheap for a reason. It is poorly made, it will break, it is a power hog with bad battery life. If you’re looking for mobility, get a netbook. If you really must have a tablet, buy something slightly more expensive from a better company and save yourself a hot of headache in the long run.

  PS. HP customer support has been very responsive and useful. I have no quarrels with them–just with their products.

  I ordered this laptop. I loved it for a week. At the end of that week the keyboard stopped working. I had to restore the computer to the way it came from the factory(lost all my data) to gain the use of the keyboard again. HP support had no other options and had no idea how to fix it. I sent the tablet in and had them send me another one….. and the same thing happened again three days after i received it. I know people who own and love this laptop, but I know just as many who have problems with it every time they use it. The tx2500z is a new laptop, and HP has yet to work out all the bugs. I suggest looking at lenovo tablets instead. I have had mine for months and I love it.

  This is a great laptop once you get the hang of the touch screen functionality.

  Bought one of these for $2000 with the best memory and options.

  8 months down the road- the CD/DVD/ LightScribe drive no longer works, 1/3 of the USB drives no longer works. The tracking pad makes my fingers raw, and when I plug in the mouse, its erratic as well. If you are at a desk, plan on using the unreliable wireless anyway, because the port for a wired cord is in the right front, which means if you are using a mouse you knock the internet cord out all the time. I got the best memory available for this computer and it still runs Vista at a glacial pace. The touchscreen is cool, except no matter how many times you calibrate it, your writing appears 1/2″-1″ away from where you intended it.

  My 4-year old Mac runs better. Look at different computers, this one isn’t worth the money.
