Point by Point Review of the HP TouchSmart TX2 Convertable Tablet PC

very good review of the HP TX2

A look at the HP TouchSmart TX2

June 14, 2009 at 6:28 am | Craig Pringle |

I’ve been lucky enough to be playing with an HP TouchSmart TX2 Tablet PC for the last couple of weeks.

I will not be doing a full review of the unit as it ships for the simple reason that one of the first things I did was rebuild it with the Windows 7 Release Candidate so I could look check out the new Windows Touch experience on a multi-touch capable machine.

That is not to say that I am not going to review it here – just that I won’t be reviewing the software that ships on the device. I am going to break the review into two parts. In Part 1 – this post – I’ll give you a tour of the TouchSmart TX2 hardware. Part two will drill down into the Windows Touch experience you will find with Windows 7 on a Multi-touch capable machine.

The HP TouchSmart TX2 – or TX2 for short – is a Tablet PC that is firmly aimed at the consumer market. It has been built with media and ease of use in mind. It begs to be touched. It also has a stylish finish that will look more at home in the living room than the board room. Check out the graphic on the lid.

On the front bezel you will find the power switch, IR Receiver, and the usual jacks and a hardware switch for the wireless.

But hang on – on closer inspection the three jacks are not that usual after all. Left-to-right the first 3.5mm jack can be used either as an optical output to hook into your home theatre system or for your headphones. The middle one can be used for a second pair or headphones which is a nice touch on a media notebook. the third jack is a microphone line in.

The keyboard is fairly standard, as is the touchpad in front of it. One nice touch is the hardware button directly above the touchpad, which can be used to disable or enable it. I like the placement. I frequently disable and enable the touchpad when I am typing on my mobile devices because I have a bad habit of tapping the touchpad with my thumbs and this can move the cursor. The placement on the TX2 is excellent and the little picture of the touchpad next to the button glows white when the touchpad is enabled and red when it is disabled.

Above the keyboard on the left side are three hardware buttons for volume down, mute and volume up.

On the right side of the screen there is a fingerprint reader and three hardware buttons. I did not install the button driver in Windows 7 as I don’t know if it is going to be the same as the Vista one or not and I didn’t want to set false expectations.

On the top edge of the screen there is a webcam, flanked on either side by two microphones in an array. Microphone arrays are by far superior to single microphones for voice applications so this should make the TX2 excellent for use with Skype, Live Messenger or other voice applications.

At the base of the screen there are two Altec Lansing speakers and the sound quality is really pretty good for a notebook.

On the right side there is the stylus, one USB port, the network port, a proprietary expansion port, a VGA connector and a vent.

On the back there is a modem jack, two more USBs and the lock port.

On the left side there is the power in, a card reader (SD, Memory Stick and MS Pro, MMC & XD) and a PC Express slot. There is also a CD/DVD burner.

Tucked away in the PC Express slot is one of my favourite features. A little remote for Media Center. Isn’t it cute?

The hinge is very sturdy and the TX2 does not suffer much from the wobbly head that plagues most convertibles. On either side of the keyboard there is a little raised peg. Once the screen is rotated around the magnetic latch clicks into place the two pegs fit into recesses on the lid which gives the device a nice secure feel in slate mode.

There is a lot to like about the TX2. Below are some of the highlights for me.

• Great styling
• Functional design
• Multi-touch – that’s a big one.
• Nice active digitiser as well
• Great screen and sound for a notebook of this size.
• That funky little remote!

On the down side:

• There is a fair bit of fan noise.
• The battery life is not great. I suspect that this is a side effect of the fairly high-end video processor and CPU. I would give a bit away here to be able to watch a whole movie on battery.
• No eraser on the stylus
• Volume control buttons are covered when converted to slate mode. When you are in slate mode, that is when you need your hardware buttons!

Over all a good home machine that will handle all the browsing and media that you throw at it with ease and will also not balk at a bit of gaming. The multi-touch experience is great in Windows 7 – but that will be the topic of my next post.

New Fujitsu Tablet PC

looks good, suggest you take a look at the upgrade options. but at 3.5 to 4lbs (depending upon which battery you have), 7.5 or 11.3 hours of battery life, plus all kinds of included and optional capabilities, it might be what you're looking for.

Fujitsu ST6012 Tablet PC Arrives, First Impressions

Upon returning from a trip down south, I was pleased to find a box from Fujitsu waiting patiently for me. As any geek worth his salt would do, I immediately opened it up and was pleased to find an ST6012 Tablet PC!

I’ve only had the ST6012 for a couple of days, but my initial impression is very positive. I’ve found the ST6012 to be extremely light and have just about every option I could possibly want: SD card slot, a dedicated PC card slot, smart card reader, lots of configurable buttons on both the right and left side of the screen, and a very nice 1280 x 800 indoor / outdoor display. In addition, the standard 6-cell battery is giving me between 4 and 5 hours of battery life. An optional 9 cell high capacity battery is also available. An optional web camera (not on this eval unit) is also available.

The only negative I’ve found is that the 1.4 ghz Core 2 Duo Ultra Low Voltage tablet pc runs a bit sluggish. This evaluation unit only has 1 gb of RAM and it has an 80gb HDD, so that doesn’t help much either. In addition, the ST6012 is running 88 processes out of the box on this Vista Business factory installation. Upgrading the RAM and going with an SSD certainly would help things. I might install Windows 7 on this Tablet PC just to try the performance and inking, but will mostly concentrate on the Vista installation for purposes of my review since Windows 7 isn’t out yet.

It certainly is light weight and quiet though, and is a joy to hold in my hands. Inking is also quite smooth. The felt cloths in the back are a welcome change from other tablet pcs.

Stay tuned for more on the ST6012, including some pictures, more impressions, and an InkShow. Post any questions you have and I’ll try to address them in future articles.

The ST6012 is available for $1999.

8.9" Tablet PC - Resistive Touchscreen

this looks very interesting. a very small tablet pc that weighs less than 2lbs. will have Windows 7 as an operating system (OS). the touchscreen may or may not be a good thing. would depend upon whether or not the side of my hand activated programs while i was trying to write my notes, but it would be great if you're a touch typist perhaps.

check out the demo video at the end, taken at the recent Paris unveiling.

Video: Archos 9 pctablet resistive touchscreen impresses

by Thomas Ricker, posted Jun 12th 2009 at 4:22AM

Archos attempt to resurrect the UMPC category of devices got off to a good start yesterday in Paris with the launch of its 16-mm thick Archos 9 pctablet -- a 8.9-inch 1024x600 pixel tablet riding an 800MHz or 1.2GHz Atom Z515 processor, 1GB of memory, up to 120GB disk, webcam, Bluetooth 2.1, 802.11b/g WiFi, and SIM card slot for WWAN connectivity. Archosfans just posted a video of the Archos 9 prototype in action and honestly, that resistive touch-screen looks pretty damn impressive to finger taps. However, since it's running Windows 7, a full-blown desktop OS, you'll still need to pull out the included stylus on occasion to interactive with the Windows 7 UI or applications designed for a mouse and keyboard. Fortunately, the Archos 9 offers an optical mouse on the right-side bezel and left and right mouse keys along the left. Other notable highlights include a removable battery of undetermined capacity, a docking port for added expansion (Ethernet, 2x USB, VGA output), stereo speakers, and an adjustable kickstand for viewing video or working on the Archos 9 with attached USB keyboard and mouse. The Archos rep says it'll be priced between €450 and €500 when it ships around the time Windows 7 launches at the end of October. What we're wondering is how much finger-friendly UI customization will be included by Archos and how they plan to market the device to consumers who already own smartphones, laptops, and even netbooks. Video after the break.

P.S. While Archosfans claims the Archos 9 is multi-touch, nothing that we've found supports that claim on the Archos site or in the video demonstrations. Nevertheless, multi-touch resistive touchscreen technology does exist as demonstrated to us by Stantum back in February. In fact, the ASUS Eee PC T91 also features an 8.9-inch resistive display that does support mult-touch.

Eye-Fi Pro - Transfer Your Pictures From Camera to Computer Wirelessly

.
ok, this is very cool. it's an SD card that you can buy that comes in 2G and 4G and it has built in WiFi. what that means is you can put it in your camera and once you program it, it will automatically send all the pictures you take, or only those you select, to your computer or several websites of your choosing.

so let's say your on set and you're taking your continuity photos and you send the ones you like to your computer and also to either Flickr, or Facebook, or Picasso, etc. You can give permission to only certain people to see these photos, so that they could be available to your 2nd Unit SS, and Director or AD, to the Makeup, Hair & Wardrobe people, to the Production Office, and on and on.

you could also set this up so only your friends & family members had access, for things like vacation and holiday pics. (be aware that at the moment these cards cost between $50 - $150 but prices should come down as they catch on.)

just the fact that it sends them to my computer without having to have a card reader is pretty cool to me...

take a look at the video below, be forewarned it's a bit long and you might have to mess with your volume to hear it better.


- Script Witch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




And if this looks/sounds a little too technical, go to Engadget, they have a great hands-on simplified walkthru of the card and it's capabilities.

there's even a version that is for VIDEO cameras. makes you wonder, doesn't it? :)

Today's On Set Computer Rig of the Week

Here's a friend's on-set rig. she's using a Mac and the ScriptE software. am kinda liking the stand, especially the little sidecar thingy.

if you have a set-up you think others might want to see, send me the pics and i'll post them here.

The 64-bit version of Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition is compatible with Windows XP x64 and Vista x64. Revu does not plug-in to 32-bit applications on a 64-bit OS, i.e. MS Office. Does Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition work in international versions of AutoCAD LT or MS Office? Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition can be installed in non-English versions of AutoCAD LT and MS Office, but it has not been localized for non-English languages. This means that Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition will operate in non-English versions of software, but all menus, dialog boxes, etc. will be displayed in English. Does Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition include plug-ins for AutoCAD LT? Because Autodesk restricts third-party developers from working with AutoCAD LT, Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition does not include plug-ins for AutoCAD LT.

No, you don’t need any additional software to make PDF files using Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition. Though Adobe Systems Corporation created the PDF file format, they publish the PDF specification and rely on companies like Bluebeam Software to make tools for specific industries. Why can’t I just use Adobe Acrobat to make PDF files? While it is possible to create a PDF file from within your CAD program using the full version of Adobe Acrobat, the conversion process is not straightforward. Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition uses predefined page settings to simplify PDF creation in AutoCAD LT. Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition also adds Bluebeam Buttons in AutoCAD LT so users can create PDF files quickly and easily. What is the difference between Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition 6.0 and Adobe Acrobat Standard? Click here to view a product comparison chart. What is the difference between PDF and DWF? What are the advantages of creating and sharing PDF files over DWF files? DWF is a collaboration tool provided by Autodesk where the parties wish to share and distribute design data with each other. It has features designed specifically for that purpose where design information is critical to the discussion and workflow. PDF is a great solution for those who wish to distribute their designs and drawings in an electronic format both internally and externally. It is a light-weight format that has already been accepted in the community for the distribution and archiving of small format documents. As such, it makes sense to use this same standard for the large-format drawings generated by that same community to prevent format proliferation. PDF is a well understood format, does not require any additional viewer installations (as most people already have the free Reader), and with Bluebeam, you can send a high-quality PDF drawing that can not only be viewed but sent directly to a large format plotter without concern. Moreover, the static nature of the PDF drawing allows it to be used for review and archiving purposes where the content originator intends a higher level of control and security. With Bluebeam PDF Revu CAD Edition, AutoCAD users can convert DWG files to both PDF and DWF. How large are the PDF files that are created by Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition? An average drawing (e.g., 1-2 Mbyte file), will convert into a PDF file of 100-200 Kbytes. As the drawing file grows, the PDF grows at approximately 1/10th the size. Please note that this conversion ratio may be affected by the number of images in the drawing and/or the type of drawing entities present. How much does Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition cost? Please see the Pricing and Purchasing page for a complete pricing chart. What support is available for Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition?
