HP Pavillion Tx1000 at RM4999

I was checking out 12 inch notebooks yesterday and came across this gem of a tablet pc. It has a 12 inch touch screen display and runs Vista. What impressed me was that it comes with 2 batteries and is small. Also it has a DVD writer built in and 1 gig or RAM. Seeing that a Dopod U1000 is selling for RM4k and this is RM4999, this would be an ideal pc for docs on the go. Having a large touch screen is very cool.

Here is a good online review at Tabletpcreviews

HP should be commended for bringing something different to the table in terms of a multimedia notebook convertible. You certainly won't find any cool options like this from Dell. While the Tablet PC functionality of the tx1000 isn't outstanding, it can be useful and it's a nice bonus for a notebook that's strong even if you were to take away the touchscreen feature. Just being able to rotate the screen for presenting and viewing movies has its benefits. The looks of this machine are great and it's easy to carry around. The processor isn't the best out there and a magnesium built warrior this notebook is not, but overall the tx1000 is a winner that's really going to appeal to students and other mainstream users.
