<\/a>HP’s new TM2 swivelling tablet is an evolution of its surprisingly long-running tablet series, and it’s definitely a worthy younger brother to the TouchSmart 600 all-in-one<\/a>. BumpTop, the new desktop alternative, is a huge step up for the line.<\/p>\n

The TM2 is the next-gen version of the TX2, also a 12.1-inch capacitive multitouch swivelling tablet. The TX2 had some issues—it was one of those “just slap a touchscreen on Windows and now it’s a tablet” tablets, which never really work that well. HP’s TouchSmart software was okay, but was really better for its big brother, the all-in-one<\/a>. But the TM2 is a huge step in terms of software, not least because Windows 7 is eminently more touchable than Vista or XP. The hardware is a typical bump from the TX2—same sized screen, 9-hour battery life, same chiclet-style keyboard and multitouch trackpad as the Envy line, Core 2 Duo proc and better graphics.<\/p>\n
