HP Pavilion tx1000

So my HP Pavilion tx1000 officially turned 6mos old! About time to write about it. I usually use my tx1000 for some work stuff that I bring home but mostly I use it as a personal laptop for entertainment purposes. For my purposes, its current specs are just about right for me.Specs: Processer – amd turion 64×2 mobile technology (1.8 GHz), RAM – 2 GB DDR II SDRAMWeight: 4.2 lbs

Here are things I love and hate about it:

(Love)

+ Sleek design

+ Since it’s only 12.1 inches wide and weighs less than 5 pounds, it’s easy to carry around

+ The monitor swivels and twists a full 180 degrees, never fails to impress my co-workers and friends. Comes handy during presentations and group discussions as well as when watching movies.

+ The monitor locks down flat when in tablet mode. Yes, it’s touch screen, but the laptop comes with it’s built-in stylus.

+ The touchpad has a unique and stylish design, looks and feels durable.

+ Speakers are Altec Lansing, perfect for listening to mp3s and watching movies while on the go.

+ Touch screen adds wow factor

+ Built in webcam

+ Removable dvd player to make it even lighter. Btw, the cd/dvd burner comes with HP Lightscribe for laser etching your own disc labels.

+ Remote control when watching dvds

(Hate)

- As a tablet, the stylus in not that sensitive. Or maybe I havent calibrated it correctly? Thus, I dont use this laptop as a tablet that often, as I find it tricky to write using the stylus.

- The shop I bought if from in Singapore gave me an extra battery pack as a freebie… which was good because my first battery got busted after 3months of use. It wouldn’t charge properly.

- The laptop came with a licensed Home Premium Windows Vista. Im not a huge fan of Vista…

- Well, I love and hate the glossy black casing, I love it coz it looks hot, I hate it coz I always need to wipe out my fingerprints.

- I’ve read other comments that this laptop gets relatively hotter than other laptops. Yah, kinda think it’s true.

Overall, I’m happy with my tx1000 although I know that the tx2000z came out shortly after I bought my laptop, I still think I got good value for my money.
