  this little laptop has all the power needed to really work! Its small size make an amazing functionality to take it everywhere without the typical medium size briefcase.

  I have the tx2110us, purchased from Amazon, and there are quite a few attractive features that first drew me to this laptop/tablet, but after owning it for about 4 months now, I’ve found myself to be quite unhappy. So I’ll go over the good stuff first:

  -Lots of RAM
  -Large HD
  -Touchscreen and supporting software are very cool: software & hardware combination gets you a realistic tablet that is even pressure sensitive (the harder you push on the screen, the thicker the line gets)
  -Swivel screen & entertainment hardware make for good portable movie watching
  -Built in wireless (a/b/g/n)/bluetooth technology
  -Webcam is neat
  -Fingerprint scanner works reasonably well (handy way to keep computer secure, although it is pretty finicky at times)

  Now onto my gripes and complaints:

  First off, yes, the tx2110us does get hot–very hot… Hot to the point of overheating and shutting down completely, even if you’re in the middle of something. I’ve sent my laptop in twice so far (I’m waiting for it to get back after the second time around), and the first time, they said the replaced the motherboard. Didn’t work–still overheats. What’s worse is they reformatted my HD, so I had to uninstall all the crapware (which there is a ton of by the way). I’ve changed the power settings as well, which is what the some of the reviewers have suggested, and it still overheats. I can only hope that the geniuses at HP can figure out a way to solve this because it’s getting quite annoying…

  Speaking of geniuses at HP, once you’re tech support escalates into sending your laptop in for repair, they assign you a case manager. He tried calling me twice to get a confirmation that my computer was returned safely, and that was it. I then tried 5 times– 5 times!!! to get a hold of him to tell him that the problem wasn’t fixed. Each time I got someone else who said “oh he’s busy right now, I’ll send him an email to let him know you called” and I got nothing in return–NOTHING! I got so frustrated and angry.

  My recommendation: if you keep this computer on “power saver” setting, delete all the crapware, you may be able to enjoy this computer with it’s abundant features… For myself (and I do consider myself somewhat computer savvy), I would like to enjoy the performance characteristics of my laptop without a hitch, & if you’re like that, you probably don’t want to buy this computer because you’ll spend an hour or more getting rid of the crapware & you won’t be able to run it at “high performance” because it will overheat and shut down. I can only wait to see what kind of repairs they performed on it this time (which probably won’t fix the problem).

  I have had this laptop for over six months now and i am really getting uncomfortable with it. At first I liked the rotating and touch screen, but the laptop produces so much heat that its unbarebale. I can’t leave it on my lap for more then 15 minutes. The battery life is very short.

  What a horrible failure, if this was a human, it would be a bum on the streets for not working

  - it overheats excessively, will literally burn your lap
  - expect blue screen of death 2-5 times per week
  - EXTREMELY SLOW
  - HEAVY
  - Touch Screen inaccurate
  - it looks good on paper but acts as if its got half the performance it claims
  - Windows Media Center cant be handled and crashes
  - its quite loud
  - Fingerprint reader needs to read 4 times to understand who you are…
  - graphics card is horrible, but as is all on laptops

  a bum on the streets if it were human - for not working.

  This notebook doesn’t support Window XP.
  When I installed Window XP, all of audiovisual hardware don’t work.
  It comes with free window vista 64 bit which run very slowly and incompatibile with almost all program.
