HP TouchSmart TM2-101ea review

Verdict:

Touch applications that don't work in portrait mode, poor display viewing angles and an annoying touchpad all add up to make this a frustrating computer to use.

I disagree!

You've focussed on some fairly minor points here. I'm sitting with the TM2 in portrait mode writing this with the pen. At an angle of 30° it is perfectly clear. It runs very cool, and the battery life is amazing. I've used several convertible tablets and this is the best and cheapest. It's powerful enough for day to day use. If you want to edit videos don't buy a tablet PC! if you want to run meetings, keep notes, use ink and handwriting in Ms Office then the TM2 is fantastic! (Pinch and zoom work in One Note2007, not just Journal). There are quibbles (top heavy, rotate button etc) but as an overall package this is a cool-looking well built fun small fairly powerful tablet that leaves my Toshiba M400 in the shade Four stars to HP for this. I love it!

Reviewers like this make me lose hope in online editorials

1. The reviewer is not in the market for a tablet...at All. (Why the heck would he refer us to a non-tablet laptop)

There are a hundred ways to use a touchscreen in windows 7, why bash on bundled software so much when we all know that bundled software is always a joke anyways.

The rest just fall into place...
