No more tx2500z?????

[timothyb]

Some new deals at HP had me checking to see if it was better than my current order, but I can't find a place to order or configure the tx2500z anymore

Instead there's some new regular 13inch laptop, dv3z, and only the tx2z for a touch tablet.

There's probably a couple quickship models, like the tx2510us, but that's it. No more wacom? I think the tx2z still starts at least $200 more than the tx2500z did.

Just when I was going to buy one

Anyone knows when the TX2 is arriving in Europe?

Well, I'm really glad I got mine then. I happen to work for HP and got me a bargain!

If you work for HP, you can find out when the TX2 is coming to Europe! =)
And perhaps get us some info on why the TX25xx series was discontinued?

NewEgg still has the tx2500 listed but not having the machine listed on HP's site might mean that the end is near.

i think hp not listing means this is the end, they're clearing out stock w/ the quick buy models.

After posting this last night, my tx2500z order from a week ago just shipped, 2 days ahead of schedule. I was worried they might say canceled or something.

I was going to post the best deal for a fully loaded model, the tx2635us at B&H video, but it now shows the model is no longer in stock, but discontinued. Using a cashback service and the rebate, it would have been $930 after rebates, even no tax or shipping in CA. I think the $50 rebate is about to end. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc..._Notebook.html

In the US, best possible deal now is at Circuit City for the tx2510us model. $850 after rebates. Office Depot currently has it too, but higher priced.

Oh, I hear the tx2510us from HP seemed to be 32bit. But for some reason there are reports of 64bit versions at stores.

Besides the tx2510us, they also carry the tx2635us, a 4gb Ram, 64bit OS, 320gb, ZM-82 version. But $1199 at the moment. They did have it for $999 for a while, like B&H video had it, making it a decent deal with $50 rebate back then.

It's even gone from Costco's HP customize order system.

No tx2500 is harsh. Oh well guess I'm going to HAVE to get a fujitsu or lenovo now. No Wacom == a Tablet that isnt worth even $1 to me.
