HP Touchsmart TX2 Multitouch and Windows 7 Ready Tablet PC

Advantages: Great support for Windows 7 and Multitouch functionality.
Disadvantages: A little pricey in comparrison to standard machines.

...As a developer interested in writing multi touch applications for Windows using Windows Presenetation Foundation and Silverlight I was keen to explore the touch capabilities of this laptop which I boiught shortly after its' release. At first the multitouch support was poor, (and was even worse under early beta versions of Windows 7). However, the drivers have improved beyond measure and I now run the machine under Windows 7 (64bit release candidate) and use it as my primary development platform for both Silverlight (2/3) and WPF development. The laptop functions on a number of different levels: 1. As a standard laptop (it performs admirably). 2. As a Tablet PC (its' stylus/pen is excellent allowing you to rest your hand on the screen as you write - which feels intuitive and comfortable). 3. As a Multi-Touch device (the TX2...

HP Touchsmart IQ770

Advantages: excellent TFT screen and touchsmart ability
Disadvantages: dodgy keyboard

...Having read the review of this HP TouchSmart IQ770 I was doubting whether or not to buy it. However I am very glad that I did, I absolutely love it This PC has a lot going for it, it is very stylish and modern looking, excellent 19" TFT screen which can be moved up and down to suit most peoples height. The keyboard can be slotted just under the pc into its own niche which, if you need it, gives plenty of space on your desk. The keyboard and mouse are both wireless and you have to configure them to pc when you first set up. I must admit the keyboard can be a bit tempremental in that it will often not type the key you hit, or will type it twice, but must also that as the keyboard is quite small, it is sometimes down to me as I hit the wrong key. I also feel that the keyboard needs to "warm up" before it will start to behave...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-TX2XP/B

Hp Touchsmart IQ772.uk

Advantages: Very Sleek, Full Of Extras And No Unsightly Wiring Everywhere
Disadvantages: Inefficient Cooling Due To Sleek Case, Possible unreliability Due To High Operating Temperatures

...well, this device if it had a metal case would be very efficient at cooking your breakfast not just its own hard drive. although i must admit that hp were kind enough to replace its hard disk drive twice in less than a month. 5 stars for that HP! but really in my own personal opinion this machine is heavily overpriced considering its performance. although it does look nice its comes with windows vista home premium installed which makes light work of this pc's lack of resources. and not forgetting the temperature issue, i have at this very moment checked the temperates and would like to say that under a very light load, (ie, only running mozilla firefox and zonealarm security suite and windows obviously) This pc will sit quite comfortably at a CPU temperature of 64*c and a GPU temp 54*c. personally i wouldn't expect to see this high...

Review of Sony Vaio VGN-TX2XP/B

excellent machine with all you'll need and more!

Advantages: ease of use, excellent specifications and touchscreen technology
Disadvantages: touchscreen can be problematic when using screens with various options closely together

...accessing and sharing photos with others. You can alternate images and access folders at ease using the HP Touchsmart technology which is brilliant. It's also ideal for those who are seeking to use the system for gaming. Having the touch screen capability makes gaming for engaging and innovative. One thing I REALLY love about the system is that you need only one cable to use it! My main problem is a lack of power outlets but this system needs only one and you're up and ready to go! Both the keyboard and mouse are wireless which means you can utilise the system from the other side of the room without any problems. The Bluetooth and WiFi technologies also contribute to the excellency of this system. The workability of the central inner system is also excellent. With a speedy Core 2 Duo Processor working alongside a mighty 4 GB RAM with 500...

The HP 300's bigger, stronger brother

Advantages: prints lots
Disadvantages: none

...This range of print cartridges from HP is the bigger and better version of the HP300. Those of you who remember my stunning, wrongly uncrowned review of the HP300 will remember how it ran out after just 140 pages. Well, this time I splashed out on the upgrade. Basically, these cost £30 each, although I picked them up on ebay for around £19 brand new and sealed. They are print cartridges that do a lot more than the HP300. The black and white cartridge will give 600 pages of print (4 times what I got out of its baby brother at just twice the price). The colour one gives 440 pages. The cartridges are tidy and easy to install ? they just click into place. There?s no ink around and you won?t get ink everywhere which is ideal. The quality of the ink is stunning ? rich and dark, intense and thick, it looks brilliant. It never...

Review of HP 300XL - print cartridge (CC644EE)

The WOW factor - but at a price

Advantages: Clean, space-saving design
Disadvantages: Windows Vista, terrible keyboard

...I have always tended to steer clear of 'packaged' pcs from the major manufacturers, prefering to build my own, but bought this model more for it's space saving design. I must admit to being pleasantly surprised. The finish and build quality is excellent, although the keyboard and mouse are not the greatest you will find, and it is very quiet in operation due largely to the use of notebook technology. Most of my gripes are with Windows Vista, rather than the PC itself. If you currently have a network of XP PC's think VERY carefully before adding a Vista based machine to your collection - they are NOT good bedfellows. Anyway, back to the Touchsmart. The screen is very nice for tv and dvd playback, and also manages to do a surprisingly good job with programs like photoshop. If you have never used a widescreen monitor before, you...

Hewlett Perfect (HP) :-)

Advantages: Price, Speed, Features
Disadvantages: Lack of manuals

...We have been looking for a good quality laptop at the right price, so when we saw the HP G60 for £379 we went for it. The laptop is has a good specification. It has 3GB of RAM which is more than enough to run Windows Vista, a 250 GB hard drive, and 2 GHz AMD Turion dual core processor which means it is more that quick and powerful enough to hand most things. The screen is 15.6 inches (a fraction larger than the standard 15.4 on most laptops) and has a glossy finish, there is little glare and ample brightness and contract in it. This slightly larger screen has enable the laptop to be fitted with what is almost a full sized keyboard, complete a numeric keypad, the only exception being the cursor and function keys which are half height, in use the keyboard has a good solid feel to it. The track pad is average size but has a very glossy...
