"Great, affordable tablet for college students!"
Pros: Affordable, fast, feature-filled, and stylish
Cons: They say the tablet experience -- but it only needs practice (and legible handwriting)
Summary: Many complain about the TX1000's touchscreen feature because it is less responsive than a Wacom-equipped tablet. You see, that's the point. It's NOT a Wacom tablet! The upside to a touchscreen is you wouldn't have to worry about losing your stylus -- you can use your finger or any slightly pointy object and you're not stuck to not being able to use the tablet feature in class if you find yourself without a stylus. Some complain that the responsiveness of the touch screen is miserable. I did not find difficulty using it. My handwriting is easy to read, so I guess the computer does not have trouble interpreting it easily. Plus, it takes practice -- people start complaining about the feature when they've only gotten the tablet for a week or so. Practice, people!
The built-in camera, microphone, fingerprint reader, 5-in-1 memory card reader, the fabulous altec lansing speakers, the powerful processor and RAM, quickplay buttons, and the remote control are just beautiful additions to this powerhouse media laptop. HP did not promote this to be a business person's typical tablet, this is targeted towards the more common PC users who want something new out of their computer. College students who might need to scribble formulas once in a while. It's not designed for business people, because in the first place, there are much pricey tablets out there for you. This one is for the college individual who's making ends meet and is looking for an affordable, innovative new laptop packed with features (especially in the multimedia aspect). This tablet deserves a higher rating!
