HP tx1000 notebook/tablet-SOLD
3-31-09 SOLD and paid for...thanks James!
Price reduced to a more realistic number...3-30-2009
Now $550 including shipping and insurance!
I'm selling my Mom's HP tx1000 for her.
Her husband purchased this in January of 2008, and died in June of 2008. Those six months of use did not amount to much wear and tear, as he was not really up to using it. From June until a week ago, it sat in his dresser drawer. Oh, he died of heart problems, nothing contagious.
I considered it for myself, but the screen is too small for me to use as a desktop, and the reality is that I am not going to use it in our trucks. Also, we already have a laptop for when we travel.
I do not touch-type, and despite that fact was able to get used to the keyboard and touchpad surprisingly quickly. (It surprised me, anyways.) I find the screen easy on the eyes for the most part, but on my desk it sits too far away to be comfortable for me.
The tablet function seems to work well, though I have not used it beyond trying it out. The computer has a stylus, and it comes with a (wired) mouse too. Included is the larger 6-cell battery.
OK, cut to the chase...list price at time of purchase was $1040.00 They paid close to $900. A new model today still hovers between $700 and $800, if you can find one. The next generation is considerably more money.
It has 5 months of occasional use. I will wipe out the hard drive, and use the restore CDs to make it factory fresh.
Price is $699 shipped insured to the lower 48.
EDIT: 3-30-09 Price reduced to $550 shipped insured to lower 48.
AK and HI I'll get a quote and get back to you.
Paypal, certified check, and cash all accepted. She does not have much use for truck parts, so no trades.

A review: <<== Link
From the review: "... the HP tx1000 is a remarkably usable and flexible Vista notebook that demonstrates how portable the new OS can be when paired with the right components and features. There is enough horsepower here for media creation and consumption, as well as for running Vista in the 3D mode it craves. Remarkably enough, HP has succeeded in fitting it all into a travel-friendly package."
Another: <<== Link
From the second review: "...This notebook is a show of finesse in a market skewed by the mutually exclusive demands of speed and power."
Pictures to follow...
