HP Pavilion tx2000z Review

January 29th, 2008
Summary
Decked out in our new "Echo" inlaid design, the ultraportable 4.3 lb1. Pavilion tx2000z is packed with features you'll love. It has a 12.1" (diagonal) high-definition touch screen, and it optimizes handwriting capture: you simply write on it with a dockable/rechargeable eraser pen (no batteries needed). In addition, the screen twists for easy viewing of documents and movies in cramped spaces.
