"Defective design - DO NOT BUY" 2010-09-26
By Fr. Ed Jansen, OSB (Severna Park MD)
I have owned this laptop for 2 years now and I have not been able to use it for more than two days in the past year. It seems that there is a defect in the design of this laptop and after awhile the overheating literally causes the motherboard to warp which causes a variety of problems in various laptops of this make. With mine, the screen goes blank as it fails to engage the hard drive. Some companies who specialize in the repair of this particular model place a copper shim (a penny) between the motherboard and ????? Well, some have claimed that this remedied the defect. I'm really happy for them. But for me, this will be the 4th attempt to get it right.
If you're one of those unsuspecting owners of one of these puppies, you may want to contact PC Mania in MA. They are the ones who, for less than $100 (includes shipping both ways) guarantee they can fix it. They can be found on eBay as well. Hope this review has been helpful. Good luck and God's blessing.

"Classless, HP, Absolutely Classless" 2010-09-19
By D.A.
Before having problems with the laptop I absolutely loved it. I consider myself one of the more fortunate owners of the tx1000 because my laptop lasted me 3 years to the day. I guess that's quite rare.
THE PROBLEM:
The graphic chipset (Nvidia) overheated so much that the chipset came unsoldered from the motherboard - which is death for a laptop since the chipset cannot be removed and replaced. The warranty had already expired, so there was nothing left to do except take a shot in the dark and try and heat the metal connectors of the chipset so they became reattached to the motherboard (there are youtube videos describing the procedure - not for the faint of heart). It lasted a week, and came across the same problem. Luckily this doesn't affect the hard drive, so all the information was safe.
HP:
Classless. Okay, Nvidia gives you a faulty chipset and you install it into several different versions of your laptops - I'll be more merciful than anyone and overlook that, but at least have the respect for your customers to acknowledge the problem (which HP still refuses to do), and do something to keep your customers (which they wrongly assume will stick around). I have HP stuff all over the house, but no more. Their lack of class, honesty, and a sense of justice have been enough for me to begin looking elsewhere, and to steer people away from looking at HP products as well.
I'll be selling my tx1210us for parts soon (except the hard drive), and that will bring the HP chapter to a sad close.
"This computer gave me a bad impression on HP" 2010-09-06
By Soyoun Chun
I experienced the same troubles with this computer as other people. First of all, this computer generates too much heat enough not to touch the back side of it. Second, WIFI went out about a year later. Third,monitor screen did malfunction a year and half later. Fourth, hard drive didn't spin. That crappy computer was finally dead when the motherboard burnt out. Total money I spent to fix the sequential problems was ~$200. I am neither spending money for it any more nor buying any product from HP now and forever. HP might earn money of $1200 from me with that crappy computer, but HP lost a costumer's confidence. HP lost buying potentials which would be more than $1200. Still HP is not admitting their fault. I abhor HP's business ethics.
"I wish I could give this laptop ZERO stars." 2010-07-19
By Fain explores the world
This has been the most difficult laptop experience that I have ever had. Initially I was impressed by the small size, light weight, high tech features and modern appearance. Also, it had all of the storage and word processing features that I needed. The computer operated well for a year. Shortly after the manufacturer's warranty ran out I encountered several problems. The first was that the nib to the ac adapter broke off in it's port. I had to purchase a replacement. This happened again. I believe it is the poor positioning and the thin gauge that attaches the adapter to the notebook that is creating this problem. Shortly after replacing the adapter for the 2nd time the screen started to malfunction. The screen would turn completely white but it would turn on only after removing the battery and the adapter. This problem eventually became more serious where the computer screen would be completely black when it was powered on. I contacted hp customer service and I was told that I could send it back to the factory to be fixed for the bargain price of $365.00! My computer is essentially a $1000 paper weight. I am so unhappy with this computer and I wish that hp would recall this computer.
