i bought it at last.... 3 weeks ago... using it without a problem. Highly recommend to all home user. i just went to HP tower last few days for the extended warranty 1+2 for Rm300.
Haven't upgrade to 2gig RAM at the moment, using 1 gig now but i still satisfy with the performance. For student, this lappy is perfect. I use it for warcraft 3, everthing goes find.
I notice Dell vostro come with the AMD Athlon x2 TL-53(same with Tx1221au) few days ago from the advertisement. The price of Rm2300. The spec is poor... so Tx1221au is still at the peak till now. Remember this lappy come with fingerprint, touchscreen, MS Vista Home Premium, light scribe writer, 2 batteries and solid remote control for u to press while on DVD. All these features Dell never provide! And Tx1221au comes with solid quality of surface. You will need to compare it to Dell and you will satisfy what HP have done.

About the screen, i was so worry before i buy but now i okay with it. Suit me too as i do not like the brightness at so high level which will endanger my eyes. The touchscreen is not functioning well if u are going to write. But what u gonna expect? This lappy is only 3k! Take a look on the market all the tablet PC are above 5k to 10k. What are you waiting? GO Grab this lappy for personal use and schoolwork and entertainment use!

Hmm. I think mobile AMD processors are still below par compared to Intel's offerings but for RM2999, it's a steal

My Toshiba Portege M200 has better handwriting recognition (Wacom Penabled) but doesn't come with a built-in optical drive. I believe the tx series is the spiritual successor of my current laptop

wow, ur post gave me more confident on getting this product...
i lost confident when my fren told me tablet are not for guys....
but well, i dont need a damn good high performence laptop, because laptop is not for hardcore user....
i want some laptop just to use it in college and do some office app...

and u forgot to mention, it even comes with a webcam where dell's vostro dont even have one...

hmm..my 2cents wud b..small screen n lots of unnecessary features..

but dat aside..i wud yes..this table lappie is one hell of a deal..

yap...its a great deal...
But the screen and the hand writing recognization is bad.

joli, i use it for my school work also and web surfing, DVD movie, gaming. So the price factor suit me alot that's why i choose it. From the lappy u can see the word on the surface cover written 'HP Pavilion Entertainment PC'. So it's for home user or student, if u going to have business use go for other lappy such as Acer TravelMate 6291.
Tablet is for ladies? Gonna be a weired topic haha. For ladies, go for Sony Vaio(pink or red color).

At first i was choosing the Dell XPS M1330(RM3999), at last i choose this as i have seen the quality of XPS is not good enough at the PC Fair KLCC. TX comes with better quality and surface. You can always compare HP quality with the Sony. Dell with Acer. Toshiba with Asus or Lenvono. (my opinion)

nice reviews...what a way to promote...as you said...i also saw many students bought this model...some more it isn't that heavy to bring anywhere...

hi, got a question here... this model, the dvd rw drive is external issit?

internal dvd writer

Oh yea, guys. this laptop's processor is Athlonx2 or Turionx2?

its the slightly lower Athlonx2 ...

which is? not turion or athlonx2?

i watch DVD so nice with this lappy. Dont worry about this. It comes with remote control and nice speakers.

Aightz~ will take this lappy into consideration. Can't buy my lappy yet. Budget prob, maybe another 2-3weeks

refering to the flyer im holding now, it says athlonx2

i heard my friend says that the touch screen is a bit crappy...
but i think for students like me, not heavy gamer user.... this laptop is under my wish list...
will personally test it from my friend that she bought during pc fair...

See the Wiki list of Turion processor and AMD's mobile platform.

TX1221AU comes with TK-53. According to the above Wiki, TK-53 is part of the current AMD mobile platform, Kite Refreshed platform and the TK-53 is from the Tyler family.

The only difference from the Turion is TK-53 comes with 2 x 256KB of L2 cache, giving you a total of 512KB L2 cache.

For RM2999, i think this is a real good buy + it look really cool. Not only the tablet hybrid function but the design is really nice (specially the surface).

you see.... RM2999 you get 12",a remote (actually this is not necessary), 1GB of RAM, 2 battery, 160GB HDD + Vista Home Premium. Compared to say Acer 4250, RM1999 you get a better processor (TL-58) + slightly better IGP (GF 7000M). What you don't get is Window, 120GB instead of 160GB and 512MB instead of 1GB.

If you bump the Acer up to 160GB + 1GB + Win + 1 more batt, the price is likely to be in the range of TX (but Acer still have the better CPU and IGP).

If me, for home use I'll go for TX for its "coolness" factor.

I read an article saying the athlon x2 is comparable (or maybe faster) than core 2 duo, am i right?

but the problem seems to be the heat, and touch screen (which is no real biggy) seems very attractive, i'm comparing between this and acer 6291... what do u guys think?

even amd turion x2 cant compare with intel core 2 duo

I would ask u to go HP, as Acer only focus on the spec. HP alwiz gives u the new experiences.

Added on September 14, 2007, 4:50 pmi'm having one of it now. The touch screen is really a big factor need to be considered but for me i never use the touch screen from the moment i bought till now, juz use it for fun only. If you are looking for notes taking purpose by the touch screen, pls dun get this lappy.

Added on September 14, 2007, 4:53 pmIntel always the leader for processor. In term on performance, it depend on pricing factor.
Juz like Nokia(leader) and Motorola. Which do you think is the best in your mind then it will be your choice.. (im using motorola at the moment but soon changing to nokia lolz)
