Reviews for the HP Pavilion tx1150ea
Source: IT Reviews
When you first look at the HP Pavilion TX1150ea you imagine there can't be that much to it. It only weighs 1.92kg, it's a comparatively slimline 22.4 cm x 30.6 cm x 3.13cm and it only has a 12.1-inch screen. A media centre laptop, after all, should be packed full of features, probably a good 3kg in weight and boasting at least a 15-inch screen. But the surprises begin the moment you open the sleek black lid. The screen turns out to be a WXGA, BrightView, widescreen display with integrated touch-screen. In other words you've got a Tablet PC with a pen discreetly concealed at the front of the base, which you can then use in place of a touch-pad or mouse to interact with the data on the screen. In practice, you do have to press quite firmly to get the best results but it could be a handy addition for people on the move who don't want the inconvenience of a mouse. The built-in touch-pad is thoughtfully constructed in a centrally positioned ‘ditch', so you won't accidentally stray across it when you're typing.

The current consumption is not higher than with Centrino-Duo-notebooks (TL-45 with ATI Xpress and Mobility Radeon X300). This means, that approximative the same battery runtime and fan functions can be expected (with this chipset). However, the performance was 20% below the T2300 (1.66 GHz) due to the lower L2 Cache (Core Duo has 2048 Kbyte shared L2 Cache). Nevertheless, the performance is sufficient.
