I have seen the model in the market. I found that the screen is blur compare to other HP pavilion. The color is also not that sharp?(i knew it's touch screen, but it's absolutely far different from other laptop) Anyone using this? Review on its screen and color pls. Will this bring problem to me after i purchase it?

Ok, here is the review.

I got the latest TX1215AU, which comes with AMD Turion 2X2Ghz. 2mb ram and 160 gb. All for RM5499.

The Good:
------------

[snips]

The Bad
----------
- Definitely the touch screen. this touch screen is absolutely bollogs!. I have tried adjusting the pen speed and pressing real hard but like a 3 year old boy, I even have difficulty writing A B C!!! If you are buying it for writing on the touch screen, forget it friend. If you just want touch screen for buttons and surfing...its ok.

- HEAT!...this baby got loads of it. Can fried an egg!! Serious, I have never got a lappie with heat like this.....coming from the right hand side, it burns!..no way you gonna put this on your lap in an airplane unless, you are drunk and cant really feel much pain on your legs.

- The GLARE, the screen is ok, except for the tremendous glare. You can basically see your own self like a mirror!

- The shiny top cover of the laptop is made out of shiny black plastic which is extra coated with some sort of gloss. Its black in colour and unless you are wearing a glove, on normal days it will be seen full of finger prints! very messy.

- I also dislike the point that HP loads it up with tons of useless 30 days trials and 60 days trials. Slows down the processor a lot.

HP FOR CHRIST SAKE!

For a lappie worth 5 grand, can you guys please issue a better grade bag????? The one being issued with TX1215AU top of the range model, is a lousy low end Targus with flimsy handles! My old 2 K Dell, have a much much better bag.

1. I missed my HP4700 touch screen functionality. Still trying to figure out how to properly tune the screen for proper usage.
2. Yes, very good if you are in winter season. In tablet mode, you can easily exhaust it out in different direction than to your lap by selecting different orientation.
3. Put screen protector film. It cuts the glare tremendously. Ensure that you install it properly first.
4. Agree - the shiny part at the back can be easily scratched. I don't know how long my "original" plastic cover will lasts.
5. Agree - too many time crippleware items. Sometimes, I also notice that copying files under MS Vista will take too much time - finally resorts to WinXP on other machine (slower CPU though) to do the job.
6. I got two bags - canvas + folder type (cannot fit the charger in it). Should give an option to upgrade the bag at least.

Seems to be ok to me unless you're trying to run high definition graphics programme. Please ensure that the TX1k is running on its natural screen resolution.

The video card (built-in type) is a lot to be desired. As a certified home user laptop, it is okay.

Review of HP pavilion TX 1221au

I was a student, budget 4k. Earlier i consider buting Dell XPS M1330, but after i have seen the real model in the PC fair, i was disappointed with its material. HP material is far better, thus i choose HP. At last i bought Hp Pavillion TX 1221au with the price of Rm 2999 three days ago. It's pretty cheap, no one can beat this lappy with the price of 2999. With fingerprint, touchscreen, stylus, WebCam and microphone, remote control, Vista premium. But remember you have to spend another 300 for RAM upgrade to 2 Gigs.

Here is the spec
1.7GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core TK-53
1024 MB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GO6150
160 GB HDD
Lightscribesuper multi DVD write
12.1 WXGA BrightView Widescreen with touch screen
Wireless available
ALtec Lansing speakers
FingerPrint, Remote Control, Stylus, Carrying case
1.98KG
Integrated 1.3 WebCAM and Microphone
Come with 2 batteries(6 cell and 4 cell)
MS Vista Premium

Forget about the touch screen, you cannot use it for writing or taking notes. Normal surfing will do and normal gaming is okay. Not a very fast lappy as i using 1 GiG RAM at the moment.
Heat is a little bit with this lappy as im not using cooler. If you run several application, advisable to use cooler. For me heat management for this lappy is okay. This lappy is build with good material and good quality, good surface, far better than Dell. It's a Home Entertainment PC, for student or home users. Strong recommended!

Guys, need help... im considering to do the extended warranty to 3 years. Do i advisable to do that, i think with the price for RM 300+-.

I have tried Warcraft 3... seem no problem to me, the problem is the screen too small... but come on this is a lappy lolz! unless u get a 17.0 inch lappy that will be better.

The Turion edition is indeed Rm 4999

I'd like to know is TX1221au can support to 4 Gig RAM?
Currently the model is come with 2 pieces of 512 RAM.
I considering to add two pieces of 1 GiG RAM or just one piece of 2 GiG RAM.
Besides, if add a piece of 2 Gig RAM so plus the 512 then that will be 2.5 GiG RAM. Any advise? Which one will be better as the price factor just a little bit different, maybe +- Rm100.
Need help from computer professional... hehe
