Got My New TX2500z

i bought this HP TX2500z when i was in the US. but unfortunately, it got delivered late -- just the day after i left the US. so i was looking for someone to bring it down here. everyone i knew were planning to go there next year and those who went this year, weren't coming this year. so finally, i decided to ship it -- just didn't want my new tablet arriving after HP released the next generation ;-)

it arrived approximately in 5 business days of shipping. first i had an issue booting it up as there was some problem with the RAM. after trying every possible thing, i decided to remove the rear flap and re-seat the RAM. BINGO! that worked ;-)

the new TX2500z came with the maximum of everything that it could support by the time i bought it. i put in an AMD 64-bit ZM-82 Puma Processor, 4GB RAM, ATI 3200 VGA and 320GB SATA HDD. it came with a lightscribe DVD-RW and integrated bluetooth and wireless facilities. it came with Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit Home Edition, and with all the above mentioned specifications, it still seem a bit slow. may be that's how Vista works ;-) anyway, i'm gonna tray Vista on this for a while and then decide if i should switch to XP. if anyone out there have used a TX2500 and have experience, please fill me in.

i am still testing this tablet doing "trial-and-error," and will post reviews as i go. for now, it works fine and suits my needs.
