Latest by pchow98: Purchased a HP notebook last year and returned that plastic-y cheesy turd within a week ($1,500+ notebook). Now using a ThinkPad and am much, much happier. Much less crapware and much more stable and usable. HP will ultimately fail with Linux as the consumer computers' primary OS. Using Linux as an more »

Latest by TurboFool: Hopefully this one isn't half as awful as the last one. Terrible screen (burned to slide across it), and terrible return rates (my Best Buy had nearly every unit they sold returned). more »

HP Developing Touchsmart Notebook

We liked the HP Touchsmart IQ506, the touch-controlled all-in-one PC, not just because it worked well (which it did), but because it was trying something different—not merely copying other products on the market. Now HP has revealed to the Wall Street Journal that they are aiming "to get touch-enabled notebook computers on the market within the next 18 months." Unfortunately, doing some quick calendar math in our heads, we realize that 18 months means 2010. And while we know we'll probably live to see the day, life is but "a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more." (HP didn't tell the WSJ that last part.) [WSJ via Electronista]

Latest by elvisml2: @jeepingeek: I bought my tx2500 a week ago. I love it. Battery life varies greatly, depending on use. I get between 2-5 hours, depending on whether I'm browsing, painting, or gaming. It still runs kinda hot, and to get 5 hours out of the battery, you more »

Latest by DiscoDapper: It is very impressive. Hopefully a software update or the next iteration will take care of the jitters. The UI looks very sweet. As far as ergonomics... the thing needs to be mounted in a position for standing use. For desktop use, needs to have a way for more »

Latest by WMyers: Yes, but the Pelham has less than half the specs of the hp. Considering it's ~$150 more than a similarly spec'd 17" laptop, that's not a bad price for an upgrade from a 17" LCD to a 19" touchscreen. more »
