I loved this computer for the first 14 months. At 15 months, the wireless card stopped working. After many calls with HP, they determined the wireless connectors on the mother board were failing and said it would cost over $400 to get it fixed. After reading many forums, I'm finding this is a very common problem. Warning - search on wireless, HP Pavilion XT1000, problems and be advised before you buy this product.

I have a HP Pavilion tx1000 which i bought a year ago. The registration and the internet service pop up kept on appearing even though i already completed registering and already answered "never remind me again". The WIFI also kept on disconnecting and have to restart over and over to get it started. As of now, the computer is totally dead. I followed the instructions in the HP website but has no luck. There is power going thru the battery but it does not respond to any FUNCTION keys. Avoid this laptop.

I have the same configuration except a faster processor and bluetooth for eight-fifty shipped directly from HP. Not sure why Amaz0n is so pricy.

I bought this computer on my own and spent about [...] dollars.I've had this laptop for about 17 months. Lately, I have been having problems with it booting up. I have learned this is a very COMMON problem with this model. HP will not give me any assistance in replacing it, even though it was their fault. It's ridiculous. They just want me to give them [...] bucks to put TOWARDS fixing it. YA RIGHT! I will never buy an HP product again. Anyone with this problem should call them and tell them! I know a lot of people are having this problem with theirs. Let them know about it!

As everyone else said. The motherboard will fry shortly after a year. They will not replace it. I turned my laptop on today and the screen does not work. I need a new motherboard which would cost about $400. I have held myself back for a really long time but now IM GETTING AN APPLE!

After 13 months of using this computer the motherboard died and as someone else already said, it costs over 400 dollars (if you are in the USA) to repair it. Where I live, it costs over 800 dollars to repair it. I have also heard of other people with the same problem. I am not buying HP again.

PRO
what you see is what you get. its quite small and very light, excellent for those who travel alot. the touch screen is nice and the screen is amazing. there are buttons which control your entertainment theatre located on the screen for easy access and activation. For such a small notebook the volume is amazing.

CON
the features for this notebook listed on the site stated it had 1 firewire port and 1 headphone port, well when my notebook arrived it had no fire wire port and 2 headphone imput ports. i was very disappointed in not getting the firewire port i paid for.

At first, this was supposed to be a great product. It has everything you could look on a notebook: is a tablet pc (touch screen), figerprint reader, bluetooth, card reader, 12.1" screen, and it worked good enough, at first. However, after 12 months of use it just wouldn't turn on at all. So it was taken to HP where they replaced the motherboard and everything was back to normal. However, after 4 months sometimes it turns on, sometimes it won't. HP tech support just said, sorry it's the motherboard again but this time the warranty has expired, so it'll $600-$700 aprox. I looked for a second opinion and apparently there seems to be a problem with the video processor Nvidia Geforce 8400-8600 series found on the Pavilion TX series. So buyer beware...!!!

I bought this laptop (tx1000) a bit over a year ago. I loved it in the beginning, I thought it was a great little laptop, until I started having problems with the wireless connection a few months ago...I found no solution to that (even with HP technical support), it just comes and goes, so I got a usb wireless adapter. I thought that would be the end of my problems, but today it failed to boot... I am reading here that this is common and that the laptop eventually dies. I have read a lot of comments from users that have the same exact problem. I am VERY VERY disappointed. I expected more from HP. Avoid this computer.

I have the same problem as everybody else. My HP TX1000 stopped working after a year. It gets really really hot, it fries the motherboard, first wifi disappears, then the whole thing shuts off and it turns into an expensive and fancy paperweight.
HP technical support is neither technical nor support. It's time HP stopped selling these pieces of crap and recalled them

GOR GOD'S SAKE DO NOT BUY HP DO NOT BUY NVIDIA

DON'T GET RIPPED OFF
