Amazon.com Product Description

For multimedia mavens on the go, the HP Pavilion tx1110us 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 display. Weighing just 4.2 pounds, the tx1110us 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 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 dual-core processor, which offers 64-bit computing capability and higher throughput for simultaneous computing tasks. Other features include a 120 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), built-in 54g Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), multi-format/dual-layer LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard slot, and NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 video/graphics card.

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

• Processor: The 1.6 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-52 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.

  Each processing core has a 512 KB L2 cache (for a 1 MB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

• Hard Drive: The 120 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 20,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

• Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (2 x 512 MB DDR2) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. It provides two DIMM slots and has a 2 GB maximum RAM capacity. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

• DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

  This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.

• Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).

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 288 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
This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also 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:

• 3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
• 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
• 1 VGA monitor port
• 1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV
• 1 ExpressCard 34
• 2 headphone jacks (1 with S/PDIF digital audio compatibility) and 1 microphone jack
• 1 notebook expansion port 3 (for use with the HP xb3000 Expansion Base or the HP Notebook QuickDock)
• 2 consumer IR (infrared)--1 on notebook, 1 on LCD panel
• 5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)

It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice size and features, short battery life, April 6, 2007

This review is from: HP TX1110US Pavilion 12.1" Entertainment Laptop (AMD Turion 64 X2 Processor TL 52, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Premium) (Personal Computers)

Ordered this directly from HP and have had it for about 3 weeks. I purchased it because it had all the features I was looking for in a tablet pc includind built in web cam, touchscreen, dvd reader/writer and small size. The touch screen costs extra. The biggest draw back is the short battery life of the 6 cell battery which is only 2 hours. Some more shortcomings include very reflective screen making it hard to see at times and the touchscreen which in the tablet mode doesn't match closely with where the pen touches the screen this is very annoying. The other annoying thing is when switching into tablet mode, open windows don't automatically adjust to short width and long length. It would also have been nice to have a scroll wheel or buttons while in tablet mode. Other then the issues mentioned it has been working good. I just wish the battery lasted longer.

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: HP TX1110US Pavilion 12.1" Entertainment Laptop (AMD Turion 64 X2 Processor TL 52, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Premium) (Personal Computers)

The laptop has a ton of features for it's size. It's amazing they fit so much into such a compact design. Bluetooth was about the only feature I missed on mine. It's a great laptop to take on the road and is very sturdy. The bottom half of the case feels like metal (clearly more rigid than other HP laptops). Overall the laptop has a very solid design.

Things I didn't like. The computer is slow to boot, loading the OS takes longer than most comparable laptops (compared to DV6000z, DV2000z). Overall, I found the system to be sluggish, and I would attribute it mostly to the hard drive. Adding RAM (3gb) made no difference. The system also pushes quite a bit of heat out the rear exhaust vent. I have used almost every current HP laptop, and this one produces the most heat. Considering the compactness, this is understandable.

I have used both the touchscreen and non-touchscreen. I prefer the glossy non-touchscreen... it is much brighter. The touch screen is neat, but not terribly useful. As with any input device, it may require configuration changes for it to work exactly as you want. The touchscreen HAS to be configured for it to work accurately, if you don't it's useless. Both models are nice and compact, have tons of inputs (card reader, IR w/ remote, 3 USB ports, RGB monitor out, and Firewire).

So the laptop has it's weak points, and it's strengths. Overall I would say it works very well considering the compromises that need to be made for it's size. I found it funny how you adapt to the dimensions (including screen size) after a short period of use. It's weird switching back to a DV9000 and a huge 17" screen though. I would say though, that screen quality is more important than size. This model has an excellent screen. I think the one thing I miss when I use other laptops is the finger print reader... it's so convenient to just swipe your finger whenever you need to type a password (at login, any website, etc). Of all the features, that's the one that I really got accustomed to, and would recommend getting (The specs for the TX1110US listed here does not have this feature).

This review is from: HP TX1110US Pavilion 12.1" Entertainment Laptop (AMD Turion 64 X2 Processor TL 52, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Premium) (Personal Computers)

Had this laptop for about three weeks. I opted to not get the touchscreen because I would not use it. So far i am liking the laptop, light weight, bright glossy screen, 2.5 hr battery life, great speakers and its attractive to look at and comes with a tiny remote control to play DVDs from far away. My only complaint is the lack of XP drivers available, looks like I am stuck with Vista.
