70% HP Pavilion tx2130ea

The HP Pavilion tx2130ea is a comfortable and well-equipped machine, and the touchscreen panel adds extra usability. It lacked the performance of other machines here, however, and the screen's poor colour reproduction will also put off many consumers.

80% HP Pavilion tx2130ea tablet PC review

Does the HP Pavilion tx2130ea work? HP may have cut corners to get this tablet PC to such an attractive price point but it hasn't reduced the overall quality of the finish, as this is a highly usable tablet PC. If you're looking for something a little different from your next notebook, this is certainly worth considering.

HP reviews


Only older games can be played fluently with these graphics chips (if they were not too demanding). Shared memory graphic cores in this category got the advantage of less heat production and longer battery runtimes. For office, internet, image processing, and video editing tasks these graphics chips are still useable without any restrictions.

NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150: Integrated graphic card (shared memory) for AMD based laptops (nForce Go 430 MCP). The performance is slightly better than GMA 950.


>> Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


AMD Turion 64 X2: AMD Turion 64 X2 is intended to be positioned against the Intel Core Duo was presented in 17. May 2006. 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.


12.1: This is the most common display format for subnotebooks and an average size for subnotebooks.
The advantage is, that the subnotebook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the tiny display has the advantage, that it needs less power, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that reading of texts is very exhausting vor the eyes. High resolutions can hardly be used.

1.9 kg:

These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 12 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.

1.9 kg:


75%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
