  • Jesuits @ CES 2009 - HP TX2 :: The ‘iPhone” of Tablet Notebooks

    Posted by admin on September 4th, 2009 and filed under notebooks |

    Remember when Steve Jobs said, “nobody wants a touch-screen notebook?” — Or what about Apple’s insistence that a MacTablet is a loser?

    Well HP, and a few thousand CES attendees would disagree!

    The TX2 is a cool little laptop that gives multi-touch capabilities to a convertible notebook/tablet.

      all the photos i see markings on this laptop. like cicles and squiggles. in the video you can see it if you look carefully, lower left corner below the keyboard. Are these actual designs on the plastic? or is it like bubbles in the film they are shipped with?

      I can’t decide what to buy… this hp touchsmart tx2 or an Acer Aspire 5935G-643G25MN…!
      touch smart seems cool and portable while the acer is not so portable but has better performance… and when i see all these people saying that the tx2 is not good as seems i get more confused loool

      can any body tell me which touch screen laptop is best ????? i want to buy ..

      hp tx2z touch smart is better in looking but peoples are saying that its hardware is not good enough

      I have to say good effort, but I see potentially 2 issues:

      Glossy screen + finger prints = bad bad mess
      OS overlord. TX2’s historically don’t have great hardware specs, even for 13.3″ laptops / 14.1″. Even the demo shows slight lag on the OS and multi touch. Now combine that with a few programs like norton and i think it’ll be unresponsive or uber laggy

      I just bought this laptop and all I can say is that tx2 is cool. Some people has different preferences in buying these gadgets but for me it depends on the one who will use it. I like mac and I also like other brands like acer,lenovo,hp,asus,fujitsu,toshiba,vaio etc.
      and if i want ot play games Im just gonna use my desktop. To cut this story short I love Tx2 the fact that it has a remote and touch screen that’s why I bought it and it’s awesome!.
