Hands-on with the HP Touchsmart tx2z
Today’s debut of the $1,299 HP TouchSmart tx2z alter the game for multi-touch tablets not only, because it’s reasonable but also because it’s the first multi-touch tablet aimed at consumers.
full review of the HP TouchSmart tx2z :
Measuring it 12.05 x 8.82 x 1.23 -inches, the Tx2z isn’t only similar in size but it sports the same chassis as the tx2500 with the same rounded edges, port placement and a durable 180 degree hinge.while, it wears slightly different clothes; instead of the “Echo” Imprint finish on the tx2500, the tx2’s lid sports a newer more flowy Radiance Imprint finish. The model we looked at was adorned in bronze and gold.
We were also happy to look that the keys are full size and have a nice coating that make them comfortable. HP also continued its use of the unique inverted nub design on its touchpad, which provides precise cursor control. The separate column of nubs on the right is great for scrolling.

Touch Experience
fingers could do the navigating on the12-inch, 1280 x 800-resolution capacitive touch screen. .
HP has built in some pretty neat tricks to take advantage of the screen’s mutli-touch capabilities. . The menu is pretty neat, especially how you access it, but we were hoping for a more compelling graphical user interface, like that on the TouchSmart PC along with some more applications.
We also were able to do some zooming in Internet Explorer even though the Wi-Fi connection was spotty. Zooming in on Web sites was quick and flicking the pages up and down worked for scrolling. Using your fingers in the applications shown above is the best bet for now or at least until HP rolls out an API for developing software for the touch laptop.
Pen Experience
Those demanding a pen experience still get it with the included stylus that pops out the right edge of the system. As soon as the pen hits the screen, it senses the input and immediately turns off the finger input and enables palm rejection. Writing in Microsoft Works was fluid and the Tablet PC Input panel recognized our somewhat messy handwriting and converted it into digital text.
Early Verdict
Touch phones and touch cameras are all the rage, but can you navigate your laptop in the same way yet? Nevertheless, consumers who are looking for advanced tablet functionality in a very mobile form factor and want to sit back and use their fingers to navigate the Web will be more than satisfied with the HP TouchSmart tx2z
