Pavilion tx2500z: HP's Consumer Tablet (video)

HP introduced the Pavilion tx2500z last week in Berlin at its Connecting our World conference. Kevin Wentzel explains the improvements and explains why the tx2500z could be an ideal notebook for students.

The tx2500z has about twice the graphics performance compared to the tx2000z thanks to the addtion of an ATI HD3200 GPU. The tx2500z gets AMD’s Turion Ultra processors for a speed bump all around. This means most video games will be playable on the tx2500z.

The tx2500z is powerful enough to be a primary notebook and offers the flexibility of tablet computing at a reasonable price. The tx2500z’s touchscreen display swivels 180 degrees and lays flat into tablet mode.

If you find a 12.1-inch notebook to small to work on for long stretches you can invest in the new HP xb4 docking station, which connects to the tx2500z with a single cable. The xb4 is absolutely packed with features, including speakers and a slot for a hard drive.
