I found the HP Pavilion tx1221au in the market with the price of RM 2999.

here is the spec
AMD Athlon 64 Mobile technology TK-53 and 512KB L2 cache (1.7GHz)
1024 DDR2 SDRAM
160 GB Hard Drive
12.1 WXGA high-Definition Brightview Widescreen Display
Integrated touch screen
Nvidia GeForce 6150
FIngerprint
Vista premium

I planned to buy this and upgrade to 2 GIG Ram.

I found that the screen is blur and the color is fade if compare to other pavilion series(i knew it's touchscreen)

Is this model worth to buy? Review pls. Anyone using this?

have u tried other units? or izzit the screen applied with screen protector or the sorts?

RM2999 so cheap?
I thought the series all above RM4700..
May i know where u find the price?

This post has been edited by accs_centre: Aug 13 2007, 08:17 PM

did compared this model with Compaq V3000 series...seems that its a bit blur/darker as compared with V3000 series...
maybe due to its touch-screen thingy...

yups...this model was sell during PC Fair at rm2999...got one shop in LYP(level 3) taking orders for this model and selling at rm2999 also...
got another model...which its processor is Turion...priced at rm4999...if not mistaken this one they got the stock in their shop...

Thundermatch is selling this model. This is RM2999(Athlon) the RM4999 is TUrion, the different is only the processor. Can i trust on these cheaper processor?

As i found out, there is no screen protector with. And i really not satisfy with its color. If possible u can go to have a see with this model. Is there anyone using it? I have seen it at mid valley and one utama. Both device i have seen is blur with its colors... as it put beside with other pavilion, i found out other pavilion or compaq screen ALOT better!

any other review on the screen?

It is this cheap, alot of my friends bought it.....until Penang's booth all out of stock during PC fair... well, its only 12.1", the specs so-so only....
but i never really use it yet...

Rm2999 for a 12.1 ultraportable lappy really cheap! beside that i think the 1.7g proc is ok couse normally we just use like 1g

Go for it if u ok with the tiny screen

i dont think u can find any stock around klang valley as still pending from the stcok from HP....

I think for the price-RM2999....The specs are ok.
Considering it is HP and 12" and touch screen.
I saw it also....but as ul said...the screen's colour is a drawback.
Again...It is HP.They dont sell perfect Lappies for the price below RM5000.

because the screen is being protected by another surface on top of the screen

Anyone know if this model is still for sale if I were to look for it now?

still selling now.....but currently on available by few dealer in low yat plaza....and somemore they r selling at rm2999 nett price without any discount

You mean previously there is discount but it's no longer given now?

I read that there's an extra battery given.

I went to Midvalley a few days ago and it's selling at RM2999 also. I tried the hybrid on the spot. The following is my brief review:

The laptop-tablet hybrid is quite affordable for its specification. This model has comes with a 4-cell and a 6-cell battery. There is only AMD processor in the options. For casual users who uses the computer just for office tasks, surfing etc., processors shouldn't be an issue. The laptop is fairly light but solid enough for everyday use. One of the drawback is its screen. Comparing with other ordinary laptops, this screen is dark and dull. The vista wallpaper which is supposed to be very bright, looks dark in the screen eventhough the brightness is set to maximum. However, the screen is pretty scratch-resistant. I tried to scribble around the screen with appreciable pressure and there is no sign of damage/scratch. Unfortunately, the writing recognition is poor. Maybe I'm not good at using it, writing on the screen is a pain in the a**. You have to write in the small little boxes and in many times, the computer recognised the character wrongly. Because of this, it is almost impossible to write lecture notes(or other notes) into the laptop efficiently. If you are not planning to use the touchscreen function to replace the keyboard, this model is fine. But if you need to write on it, you should be looking for another tablet.

IMO one of the main reasons of getting a tablet is the ability to write on it in tablet form.

If the recognition is bad, then I'll have to look for other models instead.

Nevertheless, I'll drop by some shops and check out the unit myself.

thats y the screen is not bright or clear enough cause being protected

Anyone tried HP Compaq 2710p? It appears to be equipped with ultralow voltage Core 2 Duo processors. Comes with only one 6-cell battery. Unfortunately, the graphics card is an integrated intel graphics.

The 2710p is HP Compaq's highest end tablet PC, which has the Wacom panel. It's very different from the tx1221, which doesn't have this. It is also much more expensive than the tx1221. I think it costs around RM8k+.

sorry to say,..i got the last stock in Penang PC Fair,..but there is a display model for sale~!
I think only for assignments and jz drawing, it's ok, but not very good for gaming because the graphic card very limited.... plus, 1Gb ram for a vista is not enough,..need to upgrade...

thinking of it, i should get one la!
now waiting for other brands that is cheaper and better...
1 thing i dislike on the tablet is AMD, i dunno why

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?

Added on September 13, 2007, 7:18 pmand also how bad is the screen? hope its not dull till movies also hard to watch

This post has been edited by TerryZeroX: Sep 13 2007, 07:18 PM

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)

This post has been edited by Travies: Sep 14 2007, 04:53 PM

Touchscreen is a letdown lol, or else this lappy will be selling like hot cakes has nice specs and features

is there a dedicated thread for Tx1200 series in here? I can't find any when searching. Just wanna share experience with other users. I juz got mine.

i think its okay to be discussed here

ok... i juz tot since the thread title is asking if its worth getting this model...

neway... anyone with tx1221au use screen protector??? not that i am a fan of the touch screen (actually i think the touch screen and handwritting recog is kinda a let down) but in the event i scratch the screen. the retailer told me this model already have a screen protector and itd scratch proof. not sure how true is that.

my first experience with 12" laptop & vista. I am still getting used to the smaller keyboard and vista interface.

discussing here will be fine. My Tx never had screen protector, is there anywhere in the market selling, wat is the price around? Is it necessary to get it? I ask several ppl they told me to get it but for me i think is still okay without putting the screen protector. How do u guys think? Are you sure the screen is scratch proof? who can assure this statement?

my second vista device, previously is vista home basic but now really having fun with vista home user. Great thing especially the Windows Media Center.

im not sure abt who/where can you get the 12" screen protector. I saw anotherthread asking for direction but so far no1 gave any idea.

another question.... did u laminate your laptop. I saw in low yat plaza, there is a service to laminate the surface. since our laptop surface is kinda cool (with those line), i was thinking of doing it.

Low Yat Plaza is juz down the road from my office. I think I'll be hibernating there for a while now.

so far apart from the touch screen letdown, i am enjoying my new laptop. the one thing i wanna do now is go to starbuck and see if the TX will be a chick magnet...!!!

Hope its not gonna be a GEEK magnet

i might get this lappy at the end of the month had to delay due to unforseen circumstances

Have u laminated ur TX? will it look cool? wat color shd i do? transparent? how much does the laminating thing cost? At low yat?

How is your starbuck experience?

muahahaha...i think it's good to laminate it if u're always on the go..like me, even i'm not a hardcore user, my lappie get badly scratched ... and i've been considering to buy the Tx1221 for a month ago, and next week i'll grab it..thanks to you guys for such a pleasent review ...

(CHICK magnet or GEEK magnet? hahaha ) )

oh yeah, actually they are are comparing it with pentium dual-core, never experienced how fast core2duo is... i'm currently using dell inspiron 6400 with centrino duo 1.83 ghz and 1gb ram running win xp, fast enough for me... but too bulky and heavy.. poor batt life too!

not yet laminate my laptop.

so far, I have not visit starbuck yet. i m probably eating nasi putih + air kosong for the next few mths... so starbucks have to wait.

is doing the laminating thing good for lappy? any review of the laminating? pretty enough too after laminate?

anyone have issue with the bluetooth? I can't seem to discover my TX with my SE W850i. I have pair them but it oni work the first time. Subsequently, i can't discover my TX again. I gotta delete the device in TX and pair again.

also, deleting the device have already cause the application not to response a few time.

cool feature that i can use my SE W850i to control my TX...!!!

what do u mean use ur phone to control ur lappy? u can use phone to shut down ur lappy ma?
i have tried my TX paired with my Motorola V3x, doing the transferring file only.

theres app for phone which allows your to control your lappy/pc directly as for my psp theres a homebrew application which allows me to sleep and wake my pc/lappy via wifi.

my SE W850i allow me to remote control the desktop (more like using my phone to move the mouse), presentation and

anyone have the saem problem with me using the bluetooth? my phone can't connect to my laptop after the pairing. i hv to delete the device on my laptop den pair again.

I'll be trying a bluetooth mouse next week.

Saw this lappie for the first time today in Lowyat. Gotta say it has cool looks and great price
Also noticed that the screen is indeed dull as compared to the compaq presarios.
HP is giving 2 batteries. i.e. 1 x 6 cell + 1 x 4 cell. How long does the 6 cell and 4 cell battery lasts?

the 4 cell have last me more than 1 hour and still with half the juice. Probably can last abt 1.5 - 2hr. I have not test the 6 cell batt yet. so far, i have only use the 4-cell batt.

the screen is indeed a little dull. I believe its because of the touch screen. there is another layer.

the screen is protected by one layer, that is why u can touch the screen lolz, we have no choice... but after i have use it there is no problem for me with the screen...
About the battery i have juz tried the 6 cells, for me around 1.5 hours with music on and some applications, i have not used the 4 cell.

did anyhere purchase the HP Care Pack?

OK... i felt the warth of HP after sales service today. I bought my TX with Care Pack last Fri. Call HP today to check if they have already receive the registration.

I got push like 5 number. I call this number, some one tell me its wrong nr. to call. give me another nr. then i call that nr. i still got the same story. I call 5 nr., talk to 4 person and left a voice msg but i still cannot get the answer. What the **** is up with HP?

---

Added on September 18, 2007, 1:52 pmi reali kenot believe this HP support service. At least now when i call them, this nice guy can't help but do as much as he can.

My TX registered but not my care pack. I have fax the form to them but as he claim, it take HP 2 weeks to update the care pack warranty extension in their system...!!! 2 weeks...!!!

its written on the care pack registration form to fax to HP between 10 days of purchase else void. Now they will take 2 weeks to update. U know, if all went well oso there is 4 days in dispute when Hp system may not register yet but i have already fax.

OK... enuff wif my rambling abt HP support. Just a note for those who wanna buy this care pack from HP. Apart from that, TX is behaving fine.

anyone else have rate theur vista experience??? i got oni 2.4 onthe TX. Lowest in graphic. what is everyone else score?

3 is low den my 2.4 is like super duper low.

My friend bought HP TX1000 frm Lowyat plaza last week, priced at RM2900. Got many free stuff some more..

i went HP tower to buy the care pack with the price RM 300. how much have u bought the care pack? The staff there promise me will give me a notification letter about i have bought th care pack but 3 weeks already passed, i still haven't receive any letter from HP. Wtf, they took more than 3 weeks to do one document? Some more the staff there promise me that they will take a few days to send me a notification letter, but now already 3 weeks!!! Anyway, how do u check or how do u call them? pls let me know, i think i need to call HP as well as i still do not know my care pack already activate or not. pls provide me the step.

In conclusion, HP service is super suck for me. I still never satisfy about the service i got at the HP tower bukit damansara. Guys, pls do not believe at HP service. It disappointed me.

Added on September 20, 2007, 3:29 ami got 2.4 rating too. i got only 1 gig RAM.

how do we check the vista 32 or 64 bit? tell me pls.

This post has been edited by Travies: Sep 20 2007, 03:29 AM

Try calling 1-800-88-8588. that is their Care Pack support line. I am not surprise you got pass aorund when you call this number. Else try 2332 3333 ext 2533. this is the care pack registration person. she might be able to help.

I got the same reply as you. Wait for letter. Mine is ony 3 days old, so i guess i'll have to wait (i hope its not 3 weeks).

Surprise isn't it,HP service sucks like this. I left a voice message at their support line. They only call back 2 days later and guess what, the lady again told me, she can't help me. I gotta call another number.

Go to Start - Control Panel - Welcome Centre - View Computer Details

Here you see the list of your TX details. Under system, you see if your OS is32 or 64 bits.

The lowest point i got is for graphic. I guess its due to the GF 6150. 2GB prob can't helpthis either. What about your other score?

sorry, mistaken...mine oso 2.4 ..btw, i've got mine ... rm2999 with only free mouse and hp bag.. i bought at a authorsed hp dealer, and only got 1 mouse free..huhu..

This post has been edited by likkylooq: Sep 20 2007, 02:10 PM

what other free gift huh???

i got mine @ RM2999 with optical mouse + carry bag.

its funny how dis ppl deals in Low Yat. I shop actually quote me rm3999 wif no gift. some quote at rm3499 and rm3199. This is low yat la... i walk half a step and there is another shop selling the same thing.

i got mine at PC fair Malacca, RM 2999 with HP bag, 1Gig pendrive, one optical mouse, one sauna vouncher worth RM 79.

How much u use to upgrade to 2 Gig RAM? i think of upgrading it to 2 gig too. Is there any big different after upgrading it? the score still 2.4 right ....

erkss...two hours?...wonder how much works can be done in that limited of time...
guess need to keep on looking for plugs for battery reason...

wah!...rating only 2.4 for this model?...have you guys disable some heavy applications or anything?...

erksss...really?...in one floor got different quote of prices?...thought they fixed already?unless you upgrade for the ram?...
or they got other special offers or extra thingy?

Travies,
I think that is good deal. I miss the PC Fair. Probably in KL you can get something like that too.

I upgraded to 2GB RAM for RM200. The retailer took back my 512MB x 2.

add another 200 to upgrade it sound reasonable too ..
now the price price goes to RM3150 with upgraded 2 gig RAM. sound good too!

Hi all!

I've got some question for all the owners of the tx1221AU... I plan to buy this model within these 2 weeks, so need to your help before i make the final decision...

Touch Screen

Most of the feedbacks seem to say that the touch screen is a let down. How is it a let down? What makes you say it's a letdown? If you are referring to the handwriting recognition, then i would like to clarify further...

when you write on the screen with the stylus provided, regardless of how pretty or not-so-pretty your handwriting is, does the screen capture your strokes (how u write the text) correctly and perfectly? cos handwriting recognition is (imho) divided into 2 stage...the first stage is capturing of the strokes..the second stage is to establish the pattern of the stroke to match a particular alphabet or word or number...

so when you say the touch screen is poor, does it mean that the capture of the stroke is not good (like maybe if u draw a straight line, on the screen u see the straight line with some blanks in between) ? if the capture of the stroke is not good, then maybe it's the hardware problem...

if the capture of the stroke is exactly what u wrote or drew, but the software couldn't recognize wat u wrote or drew, then i would think that it is a software problem...and maybe if we use different software, we might be able to get a better recognition?

so, is the touchscreen a let down because it couldn't capture your strokes correctly (hardware) or is it because it couldn't recognize what you wrote or draw (software)?

Another question for the touchscreen is this... err..this probably sounds like a stupid quetion, but anyway... does the touchscreen works when it is in the "laptop mode" (as oppose to the "tablet mode"). Can you write or draw or drag the windows around with the stylus when you use it as a laptop (with the screen open) or does it work only when you flip the screen around and close it like in the tablet mode?

Operating System

The tx1221AU i understand comes with Windows Vista Premium... any option to say no to the retailer and get further discount?

I've never used Vista before, only heard of it thus far n yday tried my hands on one vista business edition... i'm not very fond of it ler... and all the hoohaa over the aero interface... tat's a letdown for me ler

And have anyone tried installing linux (watever flavor doesn't matter, as long as have GUI) on the tx1221AU? how was the experience?? Does the touchscreen works in Linux?


Hope you all can help me with some answers here... Will really appreciate it!!!

Thanks!

actually, there's unauthorized dealer/just any normal pc and laptop shop that selling at 2999 and with many freebies. in my place(skudai,jb) there's a shop selling at 2999 with free 1 gb pendrive, free mouse, heat board and etc..

i upgrade mine to 2GB at rm220..they took my 2 x 512mb at rm100, and the 1gb(2piece) at rm320..so, i just topup rm220..

---

Added on September 21, 2007, 12:13 pmabout the recognotion, i dun really know. but i looked in the overseas forum and found that the mat salleh said the recog mayb because of the stylus..the screen capture ur strokes if u write slowly and put a bit of pressure on it..yeah, the touchscreen works in both mode..

u cant get discount from let go the vista. cos the lappie is pre-installed in the hardisk of the lappie..1st time boot, it'll directly install the vista..plus, u dont get the vista cd..(damn MS )

Vista is ok..but u need a moment to learn it 1st la..but not much different..

i think u can install other OS, but remember, the touchscreen ONLY work on tablet OS-edition..eg : if u wanna install XP, u need to install the XP-tablet edition to make sure the touchscreen work..oso, u must know how to force the driver installation..i heard it's hard to install the driver if u not using the package given..u even have to force install it and mayb u'll get a bit pening when to do it..heh

yea... the touch screen is a little not sensitive. I try writting a sentence but i turn out looking like some art stroke. neway, i only test the touch screen. I have never reali use the touch screen feature.

The touch screenwork in both mode (laptop & tablet). You can oso use yur finger. i think oso will work but i dunwanna scratch my screen. Any stylus will work.

tx1221au is shipped with Win Vista Home Premium. Its all in the laptop sealed in the box. I dun think you can ask for a no IS version.

i have not try linux on TX and no intention of doing so. I suspect you'll have some problem with driver on linux.

this is b4 upgrade ram...(512mb x2)


this is after upgrade..(1gb x2)..not much diff..but u can feel it when to do MAYA, 3DS..

Hi Demio! Thanks for the feedback!

touchscreen is not sensitive... hmm.... your sentence turn out looking liks some art stroke...

would it help if i write bigger? do u have to press real hard to write? and u have to write really slowly?
does the tx1221AU comes with a stylus??

you can do MAYA, 3DS on the tx1221au??? wow....

means photoshop wouldn't be a problem right?

likkylooq,
yur picis too small lar. I wanted to compared the score. I also got 2.4. I wanna compare the other sub-score.

I think that 2GB got nothing to do with the score. Its prob due to the GF6150. These days, some laptop come with GF 8 series. Our TX still come with 6 series. At least 7 series la.

I have not try any game on my TX yet but... i only play risk 2 and starcraft. OK... that is lame game for these age but i luv them.

Wanna ask that how about the coolling system of the AMD Turion that using in the HP Pavilion TX1221AU?

I am choosing to buy either HP Pavilion TX1221AU or Apple Mac Book.

TX1221au is comes with AMD athlon 64 X2. The cooling for this lappy is quite a heat compare to other. The heat come from the right side of palm rest area only. But i totaly can understand as this lappy is a small size lappy so definitely is abit more heat compare to other bigger model, u will noticed it their hardware is really built in compactly, juz imagine, with the size, it include the remote control, stylus(size like a normal ball pen), DVD drive.. I have tried out watching movie with this lappy with around 13 hours consistently without cooler, not problem for my TX. Feel happy with it.

If u used to it, go for Apple MAC. But i believe u need higher budget for it right? So TX and Mac is totaly two category of lappy, cannot be compared.

does u guys tried s-video cable?
i bought one regular s-video (RM18) but is not working........

same here. Don't really like Vista. Unnecessary graphic everywhere.

ucan still turn them off..still ok..mmm...

i figure it should be... i can turn it on if i want... not i can turn it off instead.

some of the stuff, i dunno where to look for the control also.

anyone tried installed Real alternative? I encountered color scheme problem. . . . . .

I have upgraded my tx1221au to 2G ram,
but still my notebook is very slow because of Vista.
I'm planning to UPGRADE my OS to windows XP.
Anyone has tried this before ?
