Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
For multimedia mavens on the go, the HP Pavilion tx1320us tablet PC is light enough to take anywhere and is a great resource for showing presentations thanks to its 180-degree swiveling 12.1-inch touchscreen display. Weighing just 4.2 pounds, the tx1325us delivers the same screen resolution and performance as a 15.4-inch notebook, but weighs over 2 pounds less. This stylish notebook introduces HP Imprint--a durable high gloss finish with an exclusive inlaid design that also incorporates touch-sensitive media controls for easy and quick access.

Protect your system and online accounts with your unique fingerprint for advanced security and peace of mind. The integrated 1.3-megapixel WebCam (and integrated microphone) provides easy video conferencing via VoIP and video IM chats. Optimized for mobile performance, it's powered by the 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 dual-core processor, which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for simultaneous computing tasks. Other features include a 250 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), quad-mode Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11a/b/g/n), Bluetooth connectivity, multi-format/dual-layer LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard slot, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 video/graphics card with 559 MB of shared video RAM, and Gigabit Ethernet.

It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

The Basics

Screen, Video & Audio
The 12.1-inch LCD screen can swivel 180 degrees, providing optimal angles for viewing DVD movies and business presentations, and it folds flat for working in tight travel spaces such as airplanes or trains. It has a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution. Video is powered by the integrated NVidia GeForce Go 6150 graphics/video card, which provides up to 559 MB of video memory shared with the system memory. It features NVidia's PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications.

The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks. One of the headphone jacks is also compatible with SPDIF digital audio output for home theater surround sound.

Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with this notebook's integrated quad-mode Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and Wi-Fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). You also get super-fast wired connectivity, with a Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000).

With the Bluetooth connectivity, you can communicate and synchronize with Bluetooth-enabled peripherals such as PDAs and cell phones. This notebook includes a next-generation ExpressCard 34 card slot (though no standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a good offering of connectivity options:

Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

HP Pavilion TX1320US 12.1" Entertainment Notebook PC (AMD Turion 64 Processor TL-60, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium

A great laptop with some great features. Lots of RAM (2G), hard disk (250G), very light and compact. Despite everything I read it's pretty fast. Could do without some of the bloatware.

My only complaints is that it's not a very good tablet. It's not WACOM enabled - like a PDA you have to apply pressure when you write with the stylus. Fine for taking notes but beyond that it's not that great. Battery life is a measly 2 hours, but if you shut off Bluetooth it seems to give you more time. Of course, shutting down wireless altogether is an improvement, like when you are on a plane or something.

Overall a good buy, but if you want a real tablet, look at the HP tc4400 or a Lenovo tablet.

At first, I wanted to buy this laptop directly in the HP webpage because I wanted to configure it, but several problems on that page made me look in Amazon for a similar product, and the tx1320us was the solution. The only negative point is the battery size...it stands out in the rear part of the notebook and makes it a little heavy, but still....the weight is perfect. Perfect buy and 100% recommended

Im in love with this pc. I love the screen size, the rotable screen is an amazing feature (i only wish it would be 360' rotable instead of 180').

The tablet pc is ok, it takes a while to get used to it, and a screen protector is very useful for scratches.

I'm very happy with my purchase..



Once you get this laptop set up properly, it is a pleasure to use, and delightfully sized. I did have some problems in my initial setup, had to use HP's online live support (which was fine, but too time consuming -- slooow replies). He recommended I re-install everything from scratch. I did and from then on it's been clear sailing. I do think the initial errors were my fault, plus I think Windows Vista is annoying in many ways, greatly prefer XP. So it goes. There don't seem to be too many small laptops around anymore, and this one is a gem. I just wish it had longer battery life, especially for watching DVDs.
