HP Pavilion tx1000

HP Pavilion tx1000
Angle Screen Swivel Tableture

review

CES 2007The HP Pavilion line has been well received since the birth of its unique imprinted designs and piano-black finishes. HP has introduced 14-inch, 15.4-inch, and 17-inch Pavilion models, covering a gamut of screen options. But two models are still noticeably absent from the Pavilion family: a 12-inch ultraportable and a convertible tablet. With its 12-inch screen and tablet capabilities, the HP Pavilion tx1000 ($1,720 direct) works to fill in both blanks with one product. The tx1000 is also one of the first systems to roll out with Windows Vista Home Premium, Microsoft's next-generation operating system. But despite all the exciting new features and potential success, HP may have jumped the gun by not delivering a good tablet PC experience.

Bottom Line

This tablet and ultraportable combo has all the makings of a big success, but its simple touch screen, instead of a Wacom-enabled one, doesn't quite measure up to the competition.

Pros

Sleek imprinting design. Integrated optical drive. Boatload of features. Integrated EV-DO. Great touchpad. Mini remote included. First tablet to announce with Vista Home Premium.

Cons

Does not use a Wacom-enabled screen. Spotty pen-stroke recognition. No FireWire port.
