I would also like to shout out a difference people need to look out for. The HP tx1000, the older model looks very much like the tx2000…but do not get it!

I had 2 TX1000’s that were replaced by best buy for the same problem. The pen silo was always breaking. After a few clicks the pen would not come out of the silo at all! The TX1000 does not have a active digitizer, it only has the capacitive…which I will also note actually works just fine, but the tx2000, as JK said, is a joy to use, where as the TX1000, was just “ok” It also only comes in up to 2gb’s of ram and 2.1 ghz duo proc. I believe.

I paid $1,050 for the tx1000 and when they replaced it with the tx2000 a week later the tx2000 was $999! Man, what a week difference in technology makes!

hi thanks for the video review that finally nailed it for me to go and buy the u.k. version from amazon.co.uk

HP Pavilion TX2130EA Notebook laptop, AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60, 12.1″ TFT, 2GB RAM, 250GB Hard-Drive, DVD±RW, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150, WiFi, Bluetooth, Windows Vista Home Premium

i find it to be excellent..i use it for zbrush, toon boom and art rage they all work really well on it.

the build quality is excellent and the extra’s you get for the price is just amazing..2 batteries!…

Hi, I was just wondering what you thought of the black levels on the screen. I like watching movies on my laptop, and hate when the image is washed out. I like this laptop but a washed-out image would be a deal-breaker.

James do you know if the TX2120 has a digitizer at all or not?

Thanks for the info, James! I certainly hope HP decides to release the TX2051 in the States… Seems surprising to me that it hasn’t been.

I’m primarily interested in the dual digitizer, strong processor (able to run Vista 64-bit Premium), 4 gigs, big HD; I’ve got to verify if the TX2120 has all that…

Drew, the tx2120 on CDW looks to have nearly the same configuration as the unit I am evaluating for $1199.

From a conversation with HP today, the TX2051 is not available in the United States. They offered instead the TX2120us, which looks to be similar.

James… Any thoughts on the TX2120us?

Thx for ur help JK

looks like imma just buy that 2140 and take a closer look at it

oh and sorry for that double-post up ahead
had some trouble with firefox 3beta5 and noscript addon

keep up ur good work

You don’t need to turn the touch off as it turns off automatically. Inking is a real joy on the tx.

oh what a fast reply, thx for that

well was worth a try =)
as far as i know the american models of the tx2000 differ from the german ones as they don’t have a fingerprint reader or bluetooth (the german ones)

only thing i noticed on the 2140 is that it has 3 gb ram (667 mhz) and bluetooth/fingerprint…

i got another question
can you turn off the touch screen entirely ? or don’t you even need to turn it off cause in ur vid u said it turns off automaticaly when the pen approaches the screen

im asking cause i had a tablet that had only a touch screen and no digitizer and i had trouble writing on it so i sent it back, right now im waiting for my money to come back and then imma buy that 2140

im pretty new to the tablet pc scene

dEEkay, I’m not familiar with the 2140. Typically the 2000 series would be different than the 2100 series but it could just be different in Germany.

hia JK

well i’m about to buy this one but i saw that there’s a tx2140
are there any differences between the tx2051 2050eg models except bluetooth and fingerprint reader?
i mean the display, are there any differences ?

well actually im a german and living in bavaria
the tx2050eg ships without fingerprint reader and bluetooth and the 2140 does (for germans)

hope you can help me a bit cause i dont know which one i should buy

This is my first tablet, so i am eager to dive into the world of inking & being able to jot down notes straight into the machine instead of my usual route – pad & pencil and THEN transfer it into the Computer!
Vista does seem to be the preferred OS for Tablets, unfortunately it is just too much of a resource hog fro the UMPC market.

Thanks again, can’t wait for mine to arrive!

Yep – Still happy with it. I prefer Vista because the handwriting recognition and TIP are better.
