HP Touchsmart TX2 12.1-Inch Notebook

I bought my TX2Z shortly before starting a college program. It lasted just under 2 years before the motherboard failed. About 6 months or so after purchase, the CPU cooling fan began to run much more frequently. After about a year, it ran constantly. I frequently used compressed air to blow out the vents (the cooling fins appeared clean) and even removed the DVD drive, in case it was helping to cause the heat build-up. Finally, the weekend before an exam and one week before finals, it failed and flashing lights on the keyboard signaled a motherboard failure. I had been using a cooling pan w/dual fans anytime I was on A/C power (80% of the time during the first year of ownership and almost 100% of the time after that), so I don't believe I caused the failure with poor ventilation.

When it worked properly, I really liked it. However, it seems that motherboard failures related to heat build-up are common in this line. Shame on you, HP!

i have had this computer for about three years now. i bought it just before starting college and it still works perfectly fine. i use it for all my classes because i can use programs that allow me to write my notes and drawings directly on it. the only problem i have encountered is that the chargers tend to give out fairly quickly. my first charger gave out after two years, since then i have had to change it three time which is inconvenient. otherwise i love this computer

This is my 2nd touchscreen. The first one stopped working about 1 year after i bought it (motherboard). I decided to take a chance and buy it again, since i really loved it. 3 and a half years later, some lights flashed on my keyboard, which meant again motherboard failure.

It's a great product, but just if you're looking to trade it for another one in less than than 2 years. If you're looking for a long-term computer, this is NOT your best choice.

I purchased this laptop for college, about a month into school I powered on during class and the computer made an awful beeping sound that did not stop until I powered it off manually. The warranty took care of the hard drive however as soon as the warranty expired it would not power on and wash flashing lights that signified the motherboard was failing. Hopefully I can sell it for parts.
