Reviews of the HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx

  • 6.8

    CNET Review

    August 7, 2009

    The Good: Good price for tablet functionality; multitouch gestures are fun; flashy but not garish design.

    The Bad: Poor battery life; mediocre application performance; weighted down with bloatware; a tad heavy for a 12-inch ultraportable.

    The Bottom Line: A fair price, an attractive design, and multitouch support may allow tablet shoppers to overlook the HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx's middling performance and poor battery life.
