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?

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+-.

Maybe it's AMD Athlon, as the latest is AMD Turion.... it's heavy for 12.1 lappy (2.0KG)

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

My Tx1221au is come with dual core TK-53. The only diff is yours is Turion but mine is AMD Athlon.... Which is a older version as the latest is TURION. TK-53 is 1.7 GHz.

do you guys recommend me to do the extended 3 years warranty? Price will be around Rm 400+ or -. Anyway, i would like to know what can the HP warranty do? Let's say my screen or speaker was broken thus i sent to HP center and they will replace me a new one? Is there anybody experience before HP service? Is it worth to do the extended warranty?

Just do the extended warranty of my TX 1000. 1+2. Not satisfy with the HP service center... earlier they ask me to pay 600+ for the extended warranty, i was strongly not agree, i complain then at last they gave me 300 for the 1+2 warranty. Is there anyone know where to complain about HP regarding their bad service?

This happened in HP tower , at bukit damansara... i went to HP tower 4th September at 3pm reaching, the assistant served me and saying that i bought my TX 1221au is very expensive. sigh she do not know anything? My proved of purchase stated only RM 2999. somehow this is not her job. She acted like my lappy(TX1221au) is not from HP pavilion. Then i looking for my lappy care pack. i ask her about the price, she tells me RM 198 for my lappy, i was so happy. thus i signing up the form. But after 2 minutes she told me RM 680+ for my care pack! THIS IS CRAZY. i coundn;t believe it i ask again, then she show me her LCD that the lappy was different model(it's not TX model) then she answer me my lappy was fall under the category. Crazy fella, can u imagine u show me other picture for my lappy then she says it's under same category. I stared on her and i ask her to bring me her higher authority to serve me. She entertain me awhile then she ask me to sit beside. DAMN she was ignoring me , is it because i was too young? 21 years old. i waited 10+ mins then another assistant come over, im sure she is not the manager, she is a normal staff. She speaks to me nicely, then i ask her to double check for me about my carepack. After awhile she get me back saying that RM 300 for my care pack 1+2 years. thus i pay her and settle it.
CAN u imagine how HP assistant threat me? if i follow what the earlier indian lady told me then i was paying her RM 680+ to HP already. In the conclusion, HP tower service is sucks!!! Quote this to HP to see what have them trained for their employee. I am sure if this was my dad at the moment, she will get scolded on the spot in front of everyone. Is that i going to urge all the youngster do not buy HP pavilion? i finish my care pack upgraded on 4.58pm, just imagine HP took me around 2 hours to complete their task!

QUOTE(jychow @ Sep 22 2007, 12:51 AM) hi guys, i have a TX1221AU also. Yes, the CPU is pretty warm. BUt i use this software: RightMark CPU clock utility. It regulates the voltage and thus, reducing the heat. Mine is constantly running below 50 degree c. In normal room temp w/o aircon, it is about 48 deg C. In air con room and laptop cooler, maybe about 42 Deg C. On Athlon, I use 0.650 for 1x and gradually move up on each x. No problem. Having it too low will have Blue screen of death. But no worry, just a normal restart will do. Hope this help./ And BTW, I bought my tablet in HP shop, Mid valley. great service. look for tony.  i have a fantastic offer on the extended warranty.  have been using it for close to a month already and still very happy with it. mind to let me know how do u check the degree celcius? The right mark CPU clock utility is is a software? Mind to tell how to get it? How much have u bought of the extended care pack?
