Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)In general, I love it but nothing's perfect. Before this I had the HP T2z which is the predecessor of the TM2 series. I've had it for a couple weeks now and thought I'd share my opinion.
Pros:
- FN keys are first laptop functions then F keys: I love this feature. I very rarely use function keys but I do use the volume / brightness / WLAN keys a lot. This new keyboard layout makes the function keys laptop functions by default. You have to hit the FN key to use F11, for example. But the wireless on/off is a touch away.
- Screen flips both ways: the T2z could only rotate one way. This goes both.
- Long lasting battery: with the wireless off and the screen half bright I've gotten 6+ hours out of the battery.
- Light: nice to have the weight down. Who wants to carry extra pounds?
Cons:
- No home, end, pg dn, pg up keys: The new keyboard has it's downside... I use the home end keys a lot, or used to at least. Since we're talking about the keyboard, I don't like the feeling. It's got that clakety-clak feeling of the old keyboards. You feel like you have to be rough with it for the keys to work. It's not very sensitive either.
- Fingerprint reader on side of screen: this is a horrible design flaw IMHO. Is your screen ever in EXACTLY the same angle? Well think of trying to do a straight line on a tilted screen. Or better yet, think of trying that 4-5 times to get a proper reading.
- Eraser in onenote: I love the new pen with an eraser. However, Onenote doesn't like to recognize it as an eraser. Not HPs fault I guess, but I bought the tablet to use with onenote.
- Touchpad: it's got the new touchpad that had the built in buttons like a mac. Not to keen on it.
- No DVD drive: this could be a pro or a con. Depends on how you see it. I very rarely use my drive, but for that 10% of the time, it is VERY necessary. However, it's weight and battery for something I use only rarely.
So, there you have it. Would I buy another one? Most definitely. I love my touchpad PC.
