Best Tablet Value On the Market
By JD Summer
I've been using this tablet for about a month now, as my primary laptop. It replaced the previous model, the TX2, which I used for about 18 months. While the TX2 was very cool, it was also painfully slow, had a grainy screen, and terrible touch screen recognition. All of these issues have been fixed with the TM2.

The laptop is powered by the new Intel Core i3 processor, which is very fast. Once you've uninstalled the bloatware that comes on all HP machines, this is easily one of the faster sub $1,000 laptops available. Photoshop CS5 runs just fine. The multi-touch and pen inputs are very accurate, and the keyboard is quite comfortable. The screen is much improved over the previous model, and the picture is very clear and bright. The viewing angles are sub-par though, and the screen is super glossy.

Taking notes in Microsoft OneNote on this tablet is a wonderful experience. The included stylus also includes an eraser, which is a big help. Navigation with a finger and the virtual keyboard is also very good. I probably spend about half my time in tablet mode, without needing the keyboard and touch pad.

All said, this is probably the best consumer tablet PC on the market.

PROS:
-Tablet is quite fast. Multitasking is great with 4GB of RAM.
-Stays very cool, even with so much packed into such a small area.
-The tablet is absolutely gorgeous.
-Great Battery Life. 5-6 hours easily.


CONS:
-Incredibly Glossy Screen
-Sub-par viewing angles
-Too much pre-installed bloatware (although this problem plagues most consumer PCs)

Very Expensive to use: Network incompatability
By L. Perez
HP TouchSmart tm2-2057sb 12.1-Inch Riptide Argento LaptopI bought three of these notebooks for my office. I'm a physician and we're attempting to go paperless in my office. Apparently there is an incompatibility issue with the network cards between MS and HP which the higher ups of HP had already been aware of. The connection had been slow with frequent droppings of the connections. After multiple calls to the HP tech support by my IT guy and finally reaching the higher ups of the HP, IT chain it was clear that the problems were already known, but only by the higher ups, and were being addressed. Unfortunately it cost me an additional $2,000 in IT services to figure this out. At the moment we're bypassing my network by using the USB connected, portable network card, also and additional charge. HP will be sending me three network cards that my IT guy will be replacing. I think he feels sorry for me because he says he won't be charging me to replace the cards.

Great notebook for the price.
By JSkilnyk
Pro:
I had Windows 7 Home Premium, 500GB hard drive, 4GBs of RAM, and a 16" screen. It plays 720p videos great. I was even able to run Combat Arms on it.(Although only on small maps.) It has 4 USB ports and wireless N for fast wireless connection. I personally don't like having my hardware partitioned out so I combined all the partitions into one.

Con:
This notebook has 2 things that bother me about it. The touch pad is VERY sensitive. I can't tell you how many times ive made mistakes because the back of my thumb barely touched the touch pad. Also, the sound card has a very low buzzing noise coming from the left channel. Now after doing some experimenting I found that its caused by the wireless network. If I were to disable the wireless the noise went away.

Thoughts:
All and all the notebook is great buy for the price. I did a lot of research into brands and Asus came at the top of the list almost every single time in hardware quality and longevity. Now this notebook be refurbished it does not come with the warranty you would normally get with a new notebook but, it does come with a 3 month warranty. If you looking for a cheap notebook to do your school work or any type of writing this notebook is for you. If you like games and watch high quality HD videos this notebook is not the best choice.

Getting rid of the hissing noise
By J. Tan
I bought this computer back in April of 2010, and I have to say, the computer is pretty good. Even after about 7 months, the computer still starts up and shuts down quickly.

As for those who have encountered the hissing noise, I have a solution that will get rid of the noise (it was annoying for me through the headphones, especially).

In the bottom right corner of the desktop, right-click on the sound and click "Playback devices." Then right-click (or double-click) on Speakers and click "Properties." Then go to the Levels tab, go down to "PC Speaker," and click on the little blue speaker button to mute, and then turn the knob all the way down just for good measure.

Then click Ok.

BUYER BEWARE...
By P. Miller
Please know this is a great little computer. I got it for my daughter to take to college. She loves it. Please just realize that the one Amazon sells here is NOT NEW, but REFURBISHED!!!! They don't say that in their description, which is just wrong! When it arrived "refurbished" was written all over the box. I called Amazon customer service and they stated there was a problem with this page and that they were very sorry, that it was a mistake. I notice it still sells for the higher price of a NEW one and still doesn't say "refurbished" in the discription. This is just not right! I might even have considered keeping it because the price was actually good, but there were no instruction books, papers or any kind of documentation enclosed. I sent it back and went to Best Buy to buy it, but had to pay more. SO BUYER BEWARE!!!

A versatile high performance tablet PC/desktop computer replacement
By EMc260
This is the most versatile and powerful Tablet PC I've used to date.

Pros:

Available inputs = keyboard - customizable touchpad - customizeable digitizer pen - fingertips - optional USB mouse and last but not least a very accurate voice command using either the built in dual microphones or an optional headset.

As a tablet, the digitizer pen has very good sensitivity and terrific handwriting recognition ability.

Input using my finger tips on the screen is every bit as responsive and accurate as the screen of my iPhone 4 and allows for the same type of finger gestures (spreading, scrolling, etc.)

After purchasing the optional modular bay battery that occupies the optical (DVD) drive slot, I get over six and a half hours of battery life while using this dual battery configuration under the Windows 7 "High Performance" Power Plan.

The Intel multi-core i3 processor has plenty of processing speed and I believe in a tablet configuration provides a better balance of power, battery charge and heat dissipation than its beefier i5 and i7 siblings.

Out of the box this tablet performed very well for standard home use. I, however am not a typical home user and immediately upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit to overcome the 3GB memory barrier of the 32 bit OS and to unlock all available features.

My choices of hardware upgrades included 8GB of DDR3 RAM which is the machine's hardware maximum. This allowed me to permanently turn off virtual memory and eliminate that memory performance bottleneck as well as to minimize disk fragmentation.

To improve disk performance (IOPS) the 5400 RPM 160GB Hard Drive was replaced with a 7200 RPM 500GB Hard Drive.

To finish up the hardware upgrade, I loaded a Ready Boost compatible 16GB micro SD card into the built-in front panel slot and then configured it to be used exclusively for Ready Boost operations.

After the OS and hardware upgrades, the Windows Experience Index scores averaged 5.7 allowing this little tablet to perform everything I threw at it with the greatest of ease. My performance testing included running nine VMware virtual machines from an external USB drive simultaneously (Win 7 Pro 32, Win Vista Ult 32, Win XP 32, Win Srv 2008 Ent, Win Srv 2003 R2 Ent, Win SBS 2003 R2, Win Me, Fedora Linux and Free BSD 8.0 RC3) with applications and services running normally in each and keeping the performance settings on the host machine set for best appearance. If you can show me an iPad or netbook available today that will do that, I'll eat it smothered in tabasco sauce.

This tablet has an exceptional internal heat dissipation design with a built in removable air filter to keep the eventual damage from overheating caused by internal dust buildup to a minimum. (HP, Dell and NVidia should probably make a note of that one!)

Cons:

The fingerprint sensor has yet to recognize and register any of my fingerprints successfully.

In an effort to emulate their competitors, Fujitsu has included pre-loaded software utilities that produce errors on the first and all subsequent logons which provides an error noise and two boxes that need the "OK" buttons to be clicked before we can get started. This annoyance provides the customer with an assurance that this product was designed by humans that can err, and may occasionally forget to test products before their release.

The Fujitsu Shock Sensor software is a continuous interruption if allowed to operate. This utility has obviously been borrowed from standard Fujitsu notebooks, and is not designed for Tablet PCs that are frequently flipped around while jotting notes and then tucked back under an arm.

This tablet does not have outputs for S-Video or Composite video, but does have HDMI and VGA outputs.
After a month of using this tablet, I've had no "Blue Screens" and have been thrilled with the graphics and overall performance from this Veyron of Tablet PC's.

Great Laptop
By Andre
I owned a Fujitsu T4215 and wanted to update my hardware with something as reliable as my old laptop. The T730 so far has shown me that it is another great product from Fujitsu. The capacitive screen is great for the tablet functions (no need to press hard against the screen, a slight touch will do) and stylus pen can be used as well with no problem. It is really interesting that it recognizes the pen from a few centimeters away so that you can rest your hand on the screen without influencing the pen.

Microsoft has done a good job when you compare the Windows 7 features to the Vista version. The tablet features are useful (apart from the games that I haven't really tried) and the systems is been running pretty smoothly so far.

As I said, it really helps me having both standard laptop and tablet functions all in one. The T730 could be a bit lighter and the price is not so attractive, but this computer hasn't disappointed me yet. Fujitsu is a great brand and at least where I live it's not as famous as HP or other brands. In my experience, it's much, much better than the HP tablets.

Tablet Computers are convenient AND inconvenient
By Jim Tsutsui Jr.
I bought this tablet, because I didn't want an iPAD because I have to use Excel and Word often at work and with my writing, but I wanted something as convenient as an iPAD versus using my desktop in my home office.

PROS: I got the second modular battery which can be slide in the side bay in place of the DVD/writer. This is cool. 8 hours of battery life, perfect for when I'm on the run, working at someplace with a WI-FI or in my den at home. No bothersome power cord in the way.

CONS: The finger-touch screen and tracking pad is hard to master. I have a hard time zooming in and out and grabbing things. I can't seem to get it just right. Also, when you click forward or back a page, the ZOOM-IN/ZOOM-OUT seems to have a mind of its own.

PROS: The color screen is nice, and the ability to rotate it to be a laptop or be a tablet is also very convenient.

CONS: The stylus is useful, but if you tie it to the side of the tablet with the cord that comes with it, the cord gets in the way when you close the laptop.

PROS: My tablet came with 250 MB of RAM.

CONS: I bought an upgrade RAM chip with 100 MB of added memory, only to find, I couldn't install it, because all of the slots were filled, so buying the additional chip was a waste of money.

PROS: The design is nice looking like an iPAD.

CONS: The plastic finish is easily smudged by finger prints and oil on your hands.

BOTTOM LINE: I like it, and am going to keep it. It isn't perfect, but it works for me.

Love it so far!
By M. Coughran
I purchased my Asus Afterglow u50f new at BB on clearance for 585.99. I walked into BB with the intentions of buying a Toshiba but happened to see the Afterglow and thought I'd give Asus a try. I have to say that I am truly happy with my purchase. Although it is a larger laptop, it is still lightweight and easy to carry. Of course the outside is a fingerprint magnet but what computer out there today, isn't? It is quite glossy with a black sparkle-like finish. The keys are smooth, quiet and accurate. I love having the 10-key on the side-just in case. The screen is bright and the colors are perfect. I am still getting used to the Windows 7...so far, not too shabby. The bottom of the unit stays cool (the vent is towards the back, left side of the computer) so I can literally hold it in my lap. The touchpad took some getting used to and I wasn't crazy about the push bar-it was REALLY stiff out of the box. After some use, it is now a lot easier to push. The speakers are decent-I wasn't expecting much out of them. I was pleasantly surprised when I started listening to music and they didn't sound like tiny speakers. The optical drive is a bit flimsy but I don't plan on inserting a disc while running around the house so I think I will be alright. I have yet to test the length of battery life. Plently of USB ports, HDMI port, and it is upgradable to 8GB. Inside the unit- i3 processor, 4GB ram and 500GB memory. I can't ask for more-yet ;)

Incompetent Customer Service
By G
This laptop is great. Excellent price (if it worked properly)
Its powerful, fast, clean, and sexy...

But if you don't have quite a bit of knowledge behind how computers work then the uneducated (and outsourced) customer service will leave you frustrated to say the least.

Below are the many issues that this computer has. (I've owned it for 1 month)

Current problems:

1. Audio output does not output anything other then 2-channel, and the quality was horrible.
Customer service (2 separate reps) said any other sound output (5.1 etc) is not supported by this model, and NO software or drivers will fix this. This is untrue... I fixed the issue myself by researching the Internet.

2. AI backup software was non-functional. (along with other ASUS software that I did not care to fix) See #3 for the fix...

3. Backup partition was not installed. Some customer service reps said this is normal, some said it is not. ASUS refused to send me the ASUS recovery CD that would fix this issue unless I paid $30.00-- or sent the computer in to be repaired (16 day wait time)

4. ASUS update utility software is non functional and inaccurate (after I got it to work...without the help of tech support)-- I magically got the software to work... then even when it was functional, it said no updates were necessary, when in reality about 50% of the drivers were out of date.

5. The date and time will change randomly when the computer is restarted. Customer support (4 different service tech support people) had ridiculous in non-logical "fixes"-- none of them worked.

6. The "P" key works about 20% of the time. Customer support said it could be hardware or software. All their recommendations (I tried about 4 different things) to "fix" it failed.

-- so after about a dozen calls to ASUS they finally said that I should do a complete system backup to the ASUS factory settings!!! -- what geniuses!!! I kindly reminded them (while gritting my teeth) that that would be impossible (for me to do) because the backup software and partition was non-existent, and because they refused to send me a recovery disk (unless I wanted to pay $30)..so they said to send the unit back for repairs... they said that it would take 16 business days to fix (plus shipping time)...no offer to upgrade shipping or anything.

FYI: I bought this computer from DIGITAL DISCOUNT... I highly recommend to stay away from them because their REFURBISHED models are obviously not refurbished to manufacturer specs... especially if they can not eve install the proprietary ASUS software correctly.

Impressive Portable
By Jazzspielen
This is a review of the Lenovo x220 Core i7 with 128 Gb SSD (rather than 320 Gb hard drive) and bought directly from Lenovo. Came with 2 Gb RAM but I put in 8 Gb of Crucial RAM for $94. This little machine in this configuration is pricey but literally screams. Boots in 20 seconds; shuts down in 7 seconds; switches programs with iPAD2-like speed. Great keyboard for touch-typing, but Thinkpads always have the best keyboards IMO. The screen is extraordinarily bright. Weighs about 3 lbs. I've gotten b/w 6-7 hours on the battery with typical office use. Three USB ports (one hot) and HDMI/VGA. I use the x220 with Dragon Naturally Speaking, and it handles the software very well -- the best of any laptop I've used with Dragon. My accuracy has improved, and digitized text pops on the screen quicker than any other machine I've used. This is my seventh Thinkpad, and I've had very good luck with all of them. I think Lenovo has a winner with the x220, especially with SSD. I doubt I'll ever buy another machine without SSD -- so quiet and so fast. You might want to check out Lenovo's recently released e220s -- same size as the x220 but runs about $500 cheaper than the x220, depending on your configuration. It's really hard to find anything not to like about the x220.

Terrific Notebook except: Touchpad is unusable
By gcb
I am a longtime Lenovo notebook fan -- I own an x100, 120E, T61, x200, and x201, and now an x220. The main reason I have stuck with the brand is the quality keyboards and Matte displays.

In terms of battery life and processor speed, this notebook is outstanding. However -- the touchpad was completely redesigned for the x220 and Lenovo blew it here. If you are typing a document, you'll find that the cursor flies all over the screen as you type -- even if you have the 'turn touchpad off while typing' option checked! It's highly annoying. The problem is that your hands are always resting on the touchpad if your fingers are on the keyboard. In previous designs, this was not the case.

The only workable solution for me is to completely disable the touchpad, which is stepping back to an earlier era. My x200 doesn't have a touchpad either, so I don't absolutely need to have one, but they're nice to have.

I agree with another reviewer here who identified this as a serious problem that reduces the usefulness of the notebook. My Dad also has he same issue -- he just bought an x220 and needed to turn his completely off as well. People who do very little typing, who just view web-pages or watch movies, etc will probably not be affected. Those needing to do serious work will be.

Lenovo, you're doing a great job overall, but I hope you're listening! This is a serious problem that you'll need to fix in the next design cycle.

Ultranav Touch Pad. ARRRRRR!
By BrianD
I purchased the X220 to replace an aging Dell M1210. I was drawn to the X220 because of it's Premium HD IPS display option and it's battery life. Well I got those features and they are great. The battery life with the optional 9 Cell is incredible, exceeding 10 hours. What I did not expect was the infuriating Touch Pad. Why did they not sort this out before going live. I'm having to learn all over again after growing to really like the Pad on my Dell. The Lenovo pointer jumps and bounces around like it's possessed. At the moment it's almost unusable. The left button press often yields no action or gives the pop down menu that you would expect from the right button.

My final gripe is that I'm not sure I dig the wide screen format. For business use I'm not convinced it is the best option. I may regret this purchase over the long haul, thinking that I should have instead purchased an HP or Dell.

Update: Ok it's been about three months of torment now with the Touchpad and my opinion still stands. For those of you who are conflicted about the usefulness or merits of a Touchpad let me elaborate. The X220 has both a Track Pointer and Touchpad. The Touchpad is a new design that combines the Left and Right mouse buttons into the Touchpad as integral single unit. The difficulty is that the Touchpad often seems confused as to whether you are pushing a button or simply trying to move the cursor about the screen. For those of us used to two handing the Touchpad it will be especially frustrating. As you attempt to scroll with your right hand fingers and control the buttons with your left, the cursor will wander in confusion. It's always amusing to watch a collegue take control of my computer during a presentation only to recoil from the behavior of the Touchpad. The response is usually something to the effect of "Wow what's up with that?"

Also the durability of the trim around the LCD is poor. The top left corner of my panel trim has already failed. I have not imposed any undue abuse that would justify this. This is my first Lenovo and maybe my last.
