Hewlett Packard have just released their new HP Pavilion TX2500Z series ‘convertible’ laptop – which serves in both standard notebook as well as tablet PC configurations – which, apart from sporting a 12.1” WXGA 1280 x 800 resolution touch screen pivoting display complete with hand writing recognition, serves to build upon the success of the HP Pavilion TX2000z by offering AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM dual-core power – from 2.1GHz to 2.4GHz – under the hood paired with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics chipset.

The much anticipated, Vista powered HP Pavilion TX2500Z, apart from offering increased dual-core processing capabilities, comes complete with integrated WiFi, TV out (S-video), in built Altec Lansing stereo speakers, 3 USB ports, 5-in-1 digital media card reader and up to 4GB of RAM and 320GB 5400RPM SATA HDD as well a veritable host of user selectable options such as an integrated fingerprint reader mounted on the side of the unit and a webcam with two omni-directional microphones but, interestingly, Broadband wireless capabilities are, somewhat curiously, not included as standard and require a Verizon Wireless V740 ExpressCard which is available as an optional item only.
