 Superb quality and emancipating design! April 14, 2010
Poly Glot (Calgary, AB, CANADA)
I demand maximal hand motion efficiency and thus prefer hotkeys to mouse. After sour experience with Windows Vista, I`ve been awaiting a laptop that frees me from traditionally small touchpads' attendant requirement for touch precision. After working intensively on my TM2-1070ca for a month, I confidently state that my search is successful!
-EXTERIOR: casing is solid, aluminium exudes EliteBook quality, 4.5lb acceptable on lap or table, burden to hold. Whisper quiet and all surfaces cool. Chicklet KEYBOARD as ergonomic as macbook equivalent (in this price range, neither are backlit). FINGERPRINT READER reliably streamlines login and reactivation from sleep mode. SPEAKERS superb for a laptop. USB 2.0 ports x 3; multicard reader; lacks optical drive.
-Big TOUCHPAD: responsive and accurate once you perform 10sec configuration; the inertial cursor and gestures are liberating: 1- & 2-finger scrolling and panning, 3-finger sweeps to surf through webpages are fun and make scrollbars and navigation icons redundant! I don't miss the mouse!
-TOUCHSCREEN: vibrant and crisp even after multiple touches. Bright ambiences create glare & require max brightness. Viewing angles somewhat limited, but have not affected my work. Esp in tablet mode, multitouch screen scrolling, zoom, copy and paste & surfing elegantly smooth; I haven't needed to use the scrollbar in weeks!
-HANDWRITING: software intelligently pops up in all appropriate contexts. Lacking precision, but it seems to be learning my script.
-PERFORMANCE: Speed and multitasking seamless despite using MSWord, Explorer, OneNote and videostreaming plus WinMediaplayer. No driver problems. Battery life averaging 7h despite using wiFi for about half of time.
IMPRESSION: handsome, well-designed integration of mutually complementary keyboard, stylus, touchpad and touchscreen multitouch input methods on a frugal yet reasonably fast computer leverages all Windows 7's strengths. Aside from glare, screen and touchpad complaints easily fixed by tweeking software configurations and hand discipline. Some HP software unnecessary. A notable step forward in tablet pc and superior to pad or slate for the power user; not even the upcoming toshiba Portege or 2740p can match the HP TM2 unique combination of strengths.
 Very disapointed. April 6, 2010

I so much wanted to be happy with this product...but the truth is I am not. I've always wanted to have a tablet PC and saw this one and thought it was reasonably priced for such a machine. It's not a very powerfull machine, but I didn't mind too much, I wanted a tablet but I could have done a hell of a lot better for half the price of this machine because it's not really a tablet, not when the touch screen fails or otherwsie stops working all the time. I've turned off power management, updated drivers but this thing has never really worked all that well to begin with. A reboot usually solves the problem but who wants to reboot all the time? If you're not constantly using the touch screen it seems that it simply turns itself off. Get up to go to the bathroom, come back, no more tablet for you!
This is not to mention all the other comprimises I've had to make. For instance, do not apply any kind of power management and certainly do not apply a password on wake, unless you can type your entire password in less then 1.5 seconds. Why? Because the password screen blinks like crazy and with every blink the cursor goes back to the begining. If you flip the screen and fold in onto the keyboard you get this icon notification with a screen and a fingure with a big red line telling you touch screen is off. If you lift it a bit at an angle you get blue with no line. Either way, this does not seem to corespond with any actual fuctioning anyway as sometimes it works when it says it's off and doesn't when it says it's on. There does not appear to be any corolation.
If you're considering this machine I would recomend against it. You can get much more for your money as the tablet feature is nothing but frustrating. Next time I will stick with Toshiba. They always seem to produce quality products. Also, I cannot seem to access any kind of support for these problems with HP.
Good luck.
