HP’s first consumer tablet PC

HP tx1000 tablet PC

It’s the first tablet PC from HP and I love it. It has a swivel touch screen, combination of black and silver colors and weighs only 4.23 pounds ... the tx1000 is simply sexy.

Look under her hood and you will find an AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 processor, integrated NVIDIA GeForce Go6150 GPU graphic card, 2GB RAM, (*phew*), 160GB hard drive, 8x double layer DVDRW drive, built-in 802.11b/g WLAN, integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN and Altec Lansing speakers. What else you could ask for in a new tablet? There is even an external antenna for Verizon wireless broadband so that you can stay connected wirelessly.

I wish my IBM ThinkPad R52 was this sexy, but then again, she is not a tablet.

    I presume that this refers to the first HP branded/designed tablet, since I’m typing on the HP/Compaq TC1100 as I post this.  It is an evolution of the original Compaq TC1000, but branded HP none-the-less :)

    Where can I get one? My tc1000 just died today. It got to a point where it wouldn’t turn off, so I unplugged it from the charger. Now it won’t turn on, so I am in the market. That tx1000 is the best looking tablet that I have seen, that black backing is really hot! The price mentioned in the review makes it affordable, which is why tablets are not more popular, when you are in the 2000.00 plus range that keeps a great deal of people away. You can buy a laptop that will be more powerful and have a larger hard drive for less money, but loptops are boring compared to tablets. If the stores don’t jack up the prices, they will sell a ton of those. Kudos for whoever decided to make their profit off of volume instead of the upfront kill. - Harry

    This looks great. I’m heading off to college soon and was looking for an affordable but exciting tablet convertible. Also, Vista’s new tablet abilities will probably make the experience even sweeter. too bad it’s not due out until Feb 28.
