HP Compaq tc4200 review

 

HP Compaq tc4200 Completely new--inside and out--the convertible HP Compaq tc4200 tablet has a high-strength magnesium base and uses the latest Sonoma technology to deliver high performance with excellent battery life. On the downside, it will...

Good performance and battery life; responsive keyboard; three-year warranty; screen-brightness sensor.

A little heavy for holding in one arm; three-prong AC adapter; no FireWire, parallel ports, or optical drive.

First of the third generation of tablet PCs, the HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4200 convertible has a lot to like, from its top-shelf performance to its nearly five-hour battery life.

HP Compaq tc4200

 

The HP Compaq tc4200 is an excellent choice if you're in the market for a convertible tablet.

Strong build. Intel's next-generation Centrino. Dual pointing devices.

Lacks a built in optical drive.

HP/Compaq TC4200 Tablet PC

 

Now that we've got the IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad X41 Tablet PC review under our belts, we are going to backtrack a bit to take a look at the HP/Compaq TC4200. Although the IBM ThinkPad X41 Tablet PC hit the HotHardware lab first, the HP/Compaq TC4200 was...

So far we have reviewed two different Tables PCs, the TC4200 and the IBM X41. For all intents and purposes, we feel that these two convertible notebooks/Tablets cater to two different types of people. The X41 Tablet is really more for those on the...

HP Compaq tc4200

 

With HP joining the Tablet PC convertible market late, you might expect the tc4200 to include technological advances or innovations, but such is not the case. It is simply a new ultralight notebook that HP sells both as a standard notebook and as a...

The tc4200's footprint of 11.2 x 9.25 inches is roughly the same as that of its primary competitors (Fujitsu T4000, Toshiba M200), and the same goes for its thickness of about 1.3 inches and its weight of 4.6 pounds. It is a handy machine

HP Compaq TC4200 review

 

An ageing beast that still performs to a tune

Features ; Battery life

Weight ; Feels too much like a laptop

It still represents a powerful and easy-to-use Tablet PC despite its ageing features

HP Compaq Tablet PC tc4200

 

This latest tablet PC from HP Compaq is a decent improvement over its predecessors, though unresolved legacy flaws may dampen user enthusiasm.

Unique pen ejection feature ; Good battery life

No inbuilt optical drive ; No FireWire ; Monoaural audio ; Tad too heavy to carry around in one arm

Packaged with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, the tc4200 is loaded with software such as HP ProtectTools to manage security, Microsoft Works and Norton AntiVirus 2005. You have an option to burn CDs on the external drive either by using Sonic...
