5 out of 5 stars Pleasure   May 28, 2008
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I thinked a lot before purchasing a Laptop, it took me 2 months reviews and finally I decided for this one.
Everything in this Laptop is perfect, yes it heats little more than my previous but it is fast and it doesnt create any problems on whatever you do in it, like playing, my brother does that a lot but doesnt effect on it. i loaded the hard drive to maximum and it still performed fast. I waited two months to create a review and i tried everything in him.
it came up that its tuff to,:)

The only minor problem it have is:
In the begining when you install updates the cam will not work properly,
but you cam fix it in 2 min at device manager.

Have fun, :)



5 out of 5 stars Great Laptop, Great Price, Wonderfull Performance   May 18, 2008
Amazon service as always: excellent and beyond.
About the tx1410us,
Pros: light, small and fast. A cool looking laptop with tablet pc features that you won't find at this price.
Cons: a lot of unnecessary HP software (that can be removed). It gets pretty hot after running for a while (especially on the top right corner).

I bought this because it seems like the perfect laptop (touchscreen, webcam, mouse, dual core ,fingerprint ,tiny monitor, tablet , super protable)

So it lives up to all that beautifully. However this is the reality of owning one.

EXPECT IT TO BE SLOW
After wondering why it was so slow, I bought 4gb of ram (very expensive to buy and install 2 new sticks ). Vista dosen't even recognize more than 3!

Turns out I didn't need the RAM all I needed was to get it out of Balanced Power. So of course I put it on performance. It was still slow ( to me). I have not figured out how to speed it up. It's slow in word, photoshop, everything! Not sure if AMD is to blame here but this is my #1 complaint!!!!!!!!!!

EXPECT IT TO BE HOT. VERY HOT. YOU CAN FRY AN EGG ON IT.
I use a blanket and it keeps me warm at night when I'm on it ( All jokes aside, this is the honest truth, this thing can launch a rocket into space it's so hot)

HUMOUNGOUSLY RIDONKULOUS POWER SUPPLY
I'm not a fan. I bought it to NOT have to lugg around a bung of humoungous contraptions. Big loss in points. You cannot buy a small bag because of the big powersupply. Not cool.

WEBCAM? WHAT WEBCAM?
Okay, if you expect to launch your webcam easily, Good luck! I had to do a google search to figure out it was nested DEEEEP within the VERY SLOW to launch Media Center. This means less YouTube covers from me.. by the time it loads and so on you're already half asleep from boredom. The one good thing they did was give us a button on the screen to launch it with but that only save's one second. I would prefer a stand-alone webcam app.

IT FORGETS FINGERPRNITS
Slightly annoying but not major. It may forget fingerprints and you have to re-enroll once in a while. Not a big deal but when you're used to it and then all of a sudden it doesn't work you have to start typing your password and believe me once you've been spoilt by swiping it's not such a fun thing to start typing passwords again.

SPEAKERS? WHAT SPEAKERS?
Sadly, the speakers suck. I saw this myself in some reviews but ignored it and it is SO true. Not sure why they're so bad. I think HP could have done better here. Do not get this if you intend to "blast" anything. There is no way you can surf YouTube and watch TV or have any noise in the background at all. Expect to use headset and even then you may have to stop breathing to hear..

HUGE BATTERY
I could have done withot the humoungous battery. As big as it is it doesn't hold much power anyway so I'ld rather a smaller more compact batter that was more in keeping with the portability of the laptop itself.


ONE GOOD THING IS THE CASING
I love the outside, inside, everything.. I really do love the laptio just wish it was fast and not so hot )


If you choose to buy, you won't regret it but just be aware. Hopefully you enjoy the good stuff I mentioned more than hate the annoying stuff.
