HP tx1000 Convertible Laptop Reviewed

NotebookReview has reviewed the HP tx1000 Convertible Notebook PC. The tx1000 is powered by an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 2.0 GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, nVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics, a 160GB hard drive.

It has a 12.1-inch 1280 x 800 wide touchscreen, a Super Multi 8x DVD/RW burner with LightScribe. Other than the WiFi 802.11a/b/g, the HP tx1000 supports also the draft 802.11n standard and it has also Bluetooth.

Here is the conclusion from Notebook Reivew

HP should be commended for bringing something different to the table in terms of a multimedia notebook convertible. You certainly won’t find any cool options like this from Dell. While the Tablet PC functionality of the tx1000 isn’t outstanding, it can be useful and it’s a nice bonus for a notebook that’s strong even if you were to take away the touchscreen feature. Just being able to rotate the screen for presenting and viewing movies has its benefits. The looks of this machine are great and it’s easy to carry around. The processor isn’t the best out there and a magnesium built warrior this notebook is not, but overall the tx1000 is a winner that’s really going to appeal to students and other mainstream users.
