Software and Warranty
For better or worse, the tx2z comes with a good deal of trialware, including 60-day trials of Norton Internet Security and Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student Edition, as well as Microsoft Office OneNote, a bunch of games, Muvee Reveal, Corel Painter Essentials 3.0, and Sling Media Player.
HP TouchSmart tx2z Verdict
The HP TouchSmart tx2z is certainly innovative, and its brighter, more-accurate display is an improvement over the tx2500z. Plus, it offers a cool design and very good speakers. However, the multi-touch experience—which adds a $300 premium over the tx2500z—proved somewhat of a letdown; it just wasn’t fast or responsive enough. Nevertheless, the TouchSmart tx2z is a solid Tablet PC that offers a good balance of performance and battery life.
