I am the sorry owner of two HP tablets that I purchased directly from the HP website 14 months ago with the same specifications – pre-built configuration…ready to be shipped-out is what they called it. Before making a purchase you owe it to yourself to just do one thing to confirm what I have stated in my heading. Search on your favorite search website “HP tablet lights on screen off” or just “problems with HP tablets”. There are thousands of complaints of the lights turning on when you boot up the tablet and the the screen staying dark. Basically, from my research it seems its the Nvidia chip coming loose from the motherboard and overheating. Replacing the motherboard will require hundreds of dollars not to mention the frustration of having spent $1000+ on a laptop that barely lasted – in my case – one year. Frighteningly, these issues seems to be happening just after the one year warranty.
So please don’t take the word of the reviewers here…perform a search yourself…thousands of owners along with even press reports stating problems cannot all be fraudulent. One of my tablets is still functional..but I await the day it fails to boot up as well..With regards to overheating..this piece of junk gets so hot with its AMD Athlon you can’t place it on your lap. So I have no clue what these reviewers are saying….at best the reviews are purposeful disinformation.
I will NEVER purchase another HP product in my life simply because they have not acknowledged that there is a serious problem with their tablets and refused to correct the problem.

The laptop works fine, screen does not work well with viewing. Ie: size.
Mouse pad is alittle un responsive. Hate the engraved design, to girlie.
Would not recommend this laptop for work. Gave it to my daughter and went out and bought ipad.
Over all windows 7 is great.

This is not an improvement over other HP tablets.
1. The viewing angle in tablet mode is completely unusable. You have to hover right over the screen or the colors and details get lost. In short, this has a very, very narrow viewing angle. This is one of the promised corrections of new devices such as the iPad and the Fujitsu series tablets.
2. There is minimal improvement of processing speed over the Tx2 series. The drive at 7200 rpm helps, but it is rather a disappointment.
The good news is that the battery lasts quite a long time (ca. 4 hours with media, do not believe the 9 hour claim).
This was a huge disappointment overall.
In tablet mode you have to rotate the tablet backside so the back is now front if you connect a ceiling (classroom) mounted projector…someone needs to write a driver that rotates the tablet view independently of the VGA out signal.

I am currently a college student, and I must say, that for my particular uses which include everyday documenting and some gaming, this computer is all I need and more. The tactile qualities allow me to complement my work with extra touches that would take a lifetime to do with a mouse. I used to own one of the previous TX models, and the only thing that I have to complain about the new design is the difficulty of the fingerprint reader. Or maybe it’s just that mine doesn’t like me… but whereas it used to be a one swipe deal, it now takes a couple of times for me to get it right.
On the upside, the double swivel is a great improvement, since I used to want to wring some necks when others tried to turn my old screen the wrong way and almost damaged it. No more worrying everytime someone tries to explore!! Also, battery life… YES!! I actually get work in before I have to be restrained to the wall now! And it charges in about 30 to 45 minutes and lasts for at LEAST 3 hours running on the HP energy settings, which for me means a super bright screen. Can’t even begin so say how long it would last with a dimmer screen.
Overall, good buy. If what you are looking for is a computer to fulfill your everyday needs with the bang of good space under the hood and the touch capabilities that will make taking notes a breeze… this is it!!

I purchased the tablet 1 month ago. Upon my 3rd day of regular use, the mouse pad started acting up. Not responding to my requests until 4-5 attempts later. The touch screen worked very well though, better than the mouse pad actually. Since I became very frustrated by the inconvenience of having to click on an item 4 times or more at some points, I exchanged the computer for another. Only to find the same incident occurred. Finally I decided I would call HP customer support and they were very friendly and free
! However problem was not solved therefore I ended up returning both computers and purchased myself a Pavillion… Hopefully there will be better luck!
