 Bad customer support and warranty July 31, 2010
Matt
I have had a HP tx2z touchsmart laptop for about a year now, I also bought the 2-year accidental protection plan (about a third of the laptop in cost). When I first bought it I had one issue with the touch screen that took about 3 weeks to get fixed and two hour long calls to HP. About a month ago I started having bad heat issues and my video card started going bad. I have spent 6 calls, 1+ hour each, on the phone with HP. One month later and I still don't even have a box to send my HP laptop in for repair. BEWARE OF HP.
Horrible purchase with HP touch screen July 19, 2010
V. Federation (Metro Atlanta, GA United States)
I purchased this laptop due to its touchscreen. 1st mistake. Every time my client touches the screen it causes problems. Secondly this is the HOTTEST laptop I have ever seen. If on lap it would cause 3rd degree burns. I had to have a HVAC man come out to my home office to redirect AC vents to get extra air coming in to my 20 x 15 office. The laptop alone make the room to hot to tolerate. I thought Dell's ran HOT - I never imagined the heat that can come out of this little machine.
Not to get to into the tech specs but I have never seen such a lag in the touchscreen software. Horrible. Stay away!
 Poor quality June 13, 2010
Jason Austin (Virginia Beach, VA USA)
I've had this laptop for a little less than a year, and I'm already buying a new one. I had the power supply fail and several keyboard keys that work intermittently. The touch pad has always been flaky and the mouse cursor tends to randomly jump around the screen.

Good hardware only April 10, 2010

If you uninstall everything on this machine, every last bit of software, including the OS, then install a decent OS and the software you actually want, it will run fine.
If you buy it as configured from HP, it simply will not work for very long.
I got this as a gift, and it ran for three months before Vista crashed permanently, so badly that it could not be recovered and I had to install all new OS & software from scratch. The hardware is very fast, but the 90+ background processes that HP installs to make it all touchsmart-y make it run like a TRS80.
Worse, the media software they install is like some sort of virus magnet. Despite three very well-respected security programs, I spend at least one day a week just letting the virus programs update and scan, and they always find a ton of malware. It always comes through the media software too.
If you're just looking for a piece of hardware that will work decently well and you plan to spend a couple days customizing your OS and software, then this will be fine for that purpose. If you want it to actually work out of the box...not so much.
