HP TouchSmart tm2t review

Let's not forget that before "tablets" were all the rage there were, well, tablets. While most tablet PCs were -- and still are -- aimed at the business

Attractive touch interface ; Responsive capacitive touchscreen ; Stellar chiclet keyboard

Awkward battery hump ; Sluggish TouchSmart software ; Too thick

Review HP Touchsmart tm2 Laptop/Tablet PC

A Tablet for Everyone? Whether you prefer to type or handwrite yo

Elegant Design; Decent Application Perfomance; Comfortable Input via Touchscreen; Switchable Graphics; Good Battery run-time

Glossy Screen; Tilted Position When Used as a Tablet; Touchpad

Affordable 12 inch tablet computers are still not the rule: Worth mentioning are the AMD based TX2, also by HP, which uses an integrated HD 3200 graphics adapter and the Nexoc Osiris S626 which is equipped with only the GMA 4500M HD and a Core 2 Duo...

HP TouchSmart tm2t Review

Few companies have found success selling convertible notebook tablet PCs to consumers. In truth, when it comes to consumer-oriented tablet PCs, HP has long been the leader of the pack. The 12-inch HP TouchSmart tm2t tablet PC offers the latest Intel...

Attractive, durable design ; Fantastic keyboard ; Impressive performance and battery life

Glossy, reflective screen ; No Firewire, eSATA, USB 3.0, optical drive or dedicated docking station ; Bad touchpad design

Bottom line, if you're looking for an affordable convertible notebook/tablet PC with great performance and features you aren't likely to find a better choice than the HP TouchSmart tm2 for less than $1,000

HP TouchSmart tM2

Attractive, high quality design, sharp no-grain screen, Wacom digitizer, runs long and cool., Attractive design, brushed metal casing, excellent build quality. Absolutely no grain in the display and it's got great contrast and is sharp. Supports both...

Screen glare., No internal optical drive, some drivers could use bug fixes (likely we'll see them) to handle glitches like twitching login field when it wakes from hibernation/ failure to re-init the fingerprint scanner in tablet mode (slide the power...

We gave the HP TouchSmart TM2 our Editor's Choice award not because it's the Cadillac of tablet PCs. If money is no object, we'd probably opt for the ThinkPad X200t . Though touch works better on the HP, the Lenovo's bright, barely-grainy non-glare...

HP TouchSmart TM2 review

The HP TouchSmart TM2, HP's fancy swivelling laptop-cum-tablet PC, isn't strictly a business-oriented device, but if your job dictates that you do a large proportion of your computing while on your feet, then a tablet PC can be a convenient and...

Unfortunately, at this price the HP TouchSmart TM2 is too slow to be a decent laptop, and way too heavy and clumsy to be desirable as a tablet.
