HP is announcing a slew of things today and one that I have been anxious to take a further,longer, look at is the HP tx2000 tablet. HP took a lot of great feedback from the blogging community from the tx1000 and crammed it into this little guy. I had a chance to stop by HP's Headquarters with James Kendrick a few weeks ago and take a peek at this and a few other CES releases you are hearing about today.
Specs (via JK, via HP):
Genuine Windows® Vista Home Premium, Business or Ultimate AMD Turion ™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology Processors 12.1" WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Touch-screen Display (1280 x 800). Panel rotates 180° and folds flat. Built-in digitizer for handwriting with battery-less rechargeable eraser pen (dockable). NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics with up to 559MB shared video memory Up to 4096MB 667MHz DDR2 system memory Up to 250MB (5400 RPM) hard disk drives SuperMulti 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support (LightScribe optional) Up to Wirless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n & Bluetooth
In my short time of playing with it a few weeks ago I found it was a very capable box, with only one flaw to me. I am not a big touch pad fan, every time I use a device with one I end up hitting it with the meat of my palms while I am typing and end up typing in the wrong place all the sudden. Why doesn't anyone make a touchpad that is intelligent enough to know that I am typing and not accept input via the touchpad?
If you are looking for a tablet this sure beats the pants off paying $2,500 bucks for a Dell.
