The Best of Both Phone, and Tablet
The TouchSmart tx2z ran for 3 hours on our video playback battery drain test, using the included extended 8-cell battery. It's a large battery that adds considerable weight and bulk to the dimensions of this otherwise ultraportable notebook, but powering a multitouch tablet screen would likely drain a smaller battery very quickly.
Included are HP's priority service and support for tx2 customers that features an industry-standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty, toll-free 24-7 phone support, and the promise of 1-hour responses to e-mail. The comprehensive support Web site includes real-time chat with a technical support representative, FAQs, and driver downloads.
