HP Launches TouchSmart TX2, World’s First Multi Touch Laptop

Posted 11/19/2008 at 06:12:22am

I have the HP TX2000. On the TX2500 and higher, the low end models still use dual core, just the older RM-x chipset, not the new "panther" ZM-x, which is a lot faster. Mine has a pretty weak graphics card, not even remotely close to the HD3200.

I agree with the other poster, I never use touch, just the stylus. The touch is neat, just too clumsy for a 1200 x 800 resolution.

But I love this laptop. I've had it for about 6 months, and it's been rock solid. Combined with MS Onenote and Outlook, it's gifted me with organization, reminders, and a practically paperless college experience. Onenote rules. I love to draw on it too. And it's great for surfing the web in a car, bed, or even in a meeting. Much less intrusive than a standard laptop. I can't figure out why more people don't have tablets.

Pro tip: Go to Wacom's website and get the felt nibs. They feel much more natural. Oh, upgrade to the 8 cell battery, the shape really improves the lapop's form factor.
