Laptopmag has a review of the HP Pavilion tx1000 and writes:

"The tx1000's basic ergonomics are quite good. The keyboard layout is spacious for the design, and you get full-sized Enter and Backspace keys, although the right Shift key is half-sized. The touchpad, on the other hand, is an acquired taste; it's a unique design that uses a small field of depressed dots to read your finger passes. Some may find that it provides too much resistance, but increasing the mouse speed in the control panel helps. We very much like that the scroll control part of the touchpad is offset from the main rectangle, so there is no mistaking which touch zone you are using.

Displaying 1280 x 800 pixels, the 12.1-inch widescreen display provided good off-angle viewing, except from the top-down perspective, where it washed out. That resolution may prove too tight for some eyes on standard text-based work, but we were pleasantly surprised at how sharply this display scaled below the native resolution."

"The underlying hardware here is quite good: a 1.8-GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 mobile processor works with a generous 2GB of memory and a roomy 160GB hard drive. We had no problem launching multiple programs such as the new Office 2007 suite, Internet Explorer 7, and DVD playback in an instant. The Nvidia GeForce Go 6150 graphics handled Vista's glassy Aero interface and its 3D desktop objects well, even though this GPU uses shared memory. All of this power does require some cooling, and we did find that the tx1000 put out more fan noise than most Intel-based dual-core notebooks we have reviewed recently. Our preproduction unit even had a bit of a rattle when the fan intermittently kicked in. Nevertheless, the tx1000 doesn't broil your lap."
