Although HP's had the business-centric convertible tablet down pat for awhile now, it's mixing in a bit of that general consumer lovin' with the forthcoming tx1000. Taking design roots from the entertainment-based Pavilion laptops, this two-faced machine boasts a twistable touchscreen, built-in webcam, fingerprint reader, and a removable LightScribe-compatible DVD burner to boot. Other niceties include a 12.1-inch widescreen LCD, 5-in-1 flash card reader, Altec Lansing stereo speakers, dual headphone jacks, an HP mini remote control, WiFi, twin omni-directional microphones, and a lightweight shell. While we'd love to spill more exact specifications, the Windows Vista Partner Stories brochure put the brakes on the particulars before things got too frontal, but as with Toshiba's elusive R400, we expect this bad boy to show up alongside Vista's big release, if not sooner.
These will no doubt take off as soon as the price is lowered
From what I saw in the features listed, it looks like another gem from HP. If they stick to the principles of the DV-Series entertainment laptops (like the one I'm using now), this will no doubt sell by the bunches.
this could easily be my third HP laptop in a row.
I had the chance to play with this model and I can only say good things about it.
It is extremely easy to use and sleek.
I'll be getting one too.
He dicho.
Oh geez, some of my friends have gotten HP laptops, I love them! Now THIS is a good reason to get one, I wanted to wait until there was one made for vista.
does anyone else think this thing looks incredibly cheesy?
Im trying this again but does anyone think that this will run SUPREME COMMANDER a new RTS game from Chris taylor due out this early 2007?
