Hi, may I know is it available in Singapore? Where did you purchase?

I saw it in Funan. Interested in buying mine? I was given another notebook and I don’t need two.

leon I must say, ur review on the Hp Tx 2000 series is nothing short of being awesome! i bet even the manufacturers wouldn’t have done it any better.
But the downside from my view is having it function fully on Xp. A lot of its drivers are not compatible, most especially the co- processor, sound, VGA and other basic stuff.
i must give it to this machine, typing on it is off the hook. never liked typing but this keys are just irresistible.
hope u can help me out here.

You firstly have to download the drivers from the HP website. It is possible as they have is all there for free for XP. Secondly the normal version for XP will not give you all the tablet functions you need. You need to use the Windows XP tablet Edition.

You are absolutely right they keys are absolutely wonderful to type on. The best I’ve ever had

Thanks. I did as you suggested but got the message “Fingerprint reader not connected.” Do I need to be connecting something?

Leon said:

I think you’ve disabled your fingerprint reader hardware somehow. The settings is probably in the bios. Try looking there. Otherwise I’m not sure. Sorry I’m no pro and I’m not with my notebook. But I will try to experiment with it tomorrow when I get back to Singapore. So if you can wait and be patient with me then wait ok? if not call HP support. If you do solve it, please let me know too ok

Very informative review. Wish I’d read it before I dispensed of 999 US on a tx2510 on Aug. 16, 08. Great point about not spending more on functions that you don’t need. I have yet to explore the capabilities of the pc - not even the tablet. I guess I don’t know where to start. Even the finger print reader has suddenly stopped recognizing my fingerprint in start up. Is there any way to fix that?

Leon said:

Right click on the Digitalpersona Personal icon on the bottom right corner. then redo the fingerprint enrollment. I hope that will solve your problem

M a multimedia user n i run softwares lyk fruityloops dat results in cracking of sound. Pls suggest me dat dis will nt happen with hp tablet?

Leon said:

Its the quality of the sound card that determines that. Honestly every sound card that is built-in are terrible for doing high quality recordings. Crackling happen often times when your sample rate is too high. The computer is not powerful to handle that and crackling happens. I think if you want to do audio stuff. Read some audio forums, they will tell you how to know. It is a very very complicated process to find a perfect setup. If you are asking if this notebook has enough processing power? Sure it has. I think 8 track simultaneous recordings are the max

Does AMD TURION hangs the system?

Leon said:

I am wondering what is the rationale behind asking that question. Why would a processor hang the system?

oh and you forgot to mention tat the optical drive a.k.a dvd rom is detachable to reduce overall weight…

Leon said:

Yes that is a good point I forgot to mention though I know that most people won’t bother doing it though. Unless you are really burdened by it.

1)table pc is better off with XP TABLET edition.not vista.any table pc with vista is a disaster.
2)I own tx2029au and I hate the HEAT produce by the AMD processor.Intel is way cooler and the fan noise is loud.
3)Currently i have 4GB ram but vista sp1 only uses 3GB.So basically it’s useless to install 4GB unless u’re running x64 vista.
juz something tat i wanna share….

Leon said:

I must thank you for your comment because you pointed out some things that I didn’t. I disagree that XP tablet edition is better in its functions, but I agree it performs better. Vista is crap, I hate its ridiculously slow boot times.

AMD and its heat factor is well known. The fan as I mention is loud but I’ve come across worse before. Even my EEEPC feel hotter at the bottom than this tablet. I can gurantee you that. Only the exhaust is very hot. But the notebook at the most stays cool which is well done considering AMD notebooks feels extremely hot at the bottom usually.

About the RAM issue, I also have 4GB and you know what the 3GB issue is a vista problem not a machine problem. Stupidly vista allocates 1GB to the system resources. 64bit processing has a maximum of 16 GB RAM so no point going for 4GB then….right?
