HP TouchSmart tm2-2057sb 12.1-Inch Riptide Argento Laptop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using this tablet for about a month now, as my primary laptop. It replaced the previous model, the TX2, which I used for about 18 months. While the TX2 was very cool, it was also painfully slow, had a grainy screen, and terrible touch screen recognition. All of these issues have been fixed with the TM2.
The laptop is powered by the new Intel Core i3 processor, which is very fast. Once you've uninstalled the bloatware that comes on all HP machines, this is easily one of the faster sub $1,000 laptops available. Photoshop CS5 runs just fine. The multi-touch and pen inputs are very accurate, and the keyboard is quite comfortable. The screen is much improved over the previous model, and the picture is very clear and bright. The viewing angles are sub-par though, and the screen is super glossy.
Taking notes in Microsoft OneNote on this tablet is a wonderful experience. The included stylus also includes an eraser, which is a big help. Navigation with a finger and the virtual keyboard is also very good. I probably spend about half my time in tablet mode, without needing the keyboard and touch pad.
All said, this is probably the best consumer tablet PC on the market.
PROS:
-Tablet is quite fast. Multitasking is great with 4GB of RAM.
-Stays very cool, even with so much packed into such a small area.
-The tablet is absolutely gorgeous.
-Great Battery Life. 5-6 hours easily.CONS:
-Incredibly Glossy Screen
-Sub-par viewing angles
-Too much pre-installed bloatware (although this problem plagues most consumer PCs)
