By Dan Ackerman on 29 January 2007

HP's first Vista-based laptop, the Pavilion tx1000, is an unusual but largely successful hybrid, combining a tablet design with an entertainment-focus.

    • Good: Size, features etc
    • Bad: 13 month lifespan

    It will die after a year because of an inherent design flaw.

    Rubbish...design flaw. Or Design for only 1 year. Everyone should stay away from HP as all of their Nvidia chipset based products has the same issues.

    This notebook fails in the reliability department. The northbridge fails, and I was lucky enough to find a technician with a BGA rework machine, who changed the northbridge and charged me A$200. Check your technical service and ASK for an extended warranty (the issue manifests in 18 months since purchase)

    • Good: touch screen, remote, fast, easy to pack around, finger print reader, speakers sound good, card reader, hard buttons a plus, plenty of ports, tablet.
    • Bad: only one con. when I rotate my screen to tablet the screen stopped rotating. I have to go into programs and manually rotate the screen

    I have had this computer for more than a year and it works great. I have noticed how hot it gets, but it does it all for me.

    • Good: Nice stylish tablet
    • Bad: HOT!! I mean boiling hot.
      Stopped working after one year of use.

    The laptop totally broke down after one year of minimal use. Contacted HP but their service of out of warrant product is very poor. They asked for$55 to just have a look at my laptop and another $600 for motherboard repair. The same problem consists with atleast 200 other people, yet no sympathy from HP.

    • Good: Size, touch screen,
    • Bad: screen size but worth the sacrifice

    I have this for a few months and love it. It's fast and comes in handy when taking notes. It's not heavy so I can carry it around campus easily

    • Good: Looks neat and good features have been put togather.
    • Bad: Due to issues mentioned in Comments section this is UNWORKABLE!

    Some/all of the following issues have been reported by numerous TX1000 owners on HP website.
    1) Overheating
    2) wireless drops off intermittently
    3) Sometimes Laptop will goto hibernate mode and not re-start until after 50 tries and sometimes for 2-3 days.

    • Good: extremely cheap.
      very compact.
    • Bad: wireless card broke, digitizer is not as sensitive as wacom technology, not durable. Wears quickly. Not for a daily user, unless they plan to upgrade in a year.

    basically, don't buy an hp.

    i bought a toshiba tablet, which was amazing. i sent it in to get the seal redone on the tablet, and the technician stole it. I got this as a replacement. The monitor stopped working entirely, the wireless card doesnt work, the cd drive doesnt stay in all the way, and it is very cheaply built.

    • Good: Everything is perfect during the first year
    • Bad: It breaks down after the first year :(

    Boo! It breaks down!
