HP TX1016AU
The HP TX1016AU is an extremely handsome laptop, almost masculine in appearance. It comes with a black glossy lid with HP written in silver, making for a very classy looking laptop. The power button is intelligently placed on the outside in the form of a spring loaded slider. This is primarily done so that the power button is accessible even in the tablet mode, otherwise if placed along the keyboard, it would have been inaccessible. Even the Blue tooth cum Wi-Fi slider switch is placed on the outside. The keys on the keyboard are well laid out. With small form factor laptops like the 12.1-inch ones, some of the keys are eliminated, re-oriented or reduced in size. With the TX1016AU, the function and the right shift key is reduced in size which according to me is very much manageable. Otherwise all the other keys are laid out in a standard format and are comfortable to work with. There are dedicated back-lit up, down and mute volume keys outside the keyboard panel. This is a convenient addition as finding the volume keys in the keyboard and then using them as a combination with the function keys can get a little tedious, especially when watching a movie in the night. And just for that the keys are back lit. Also the mute key turns orange in color when active. Then there is a hot key which when pressed brings up a panel with a whole lot of options including the brightness control.Source:tech2.com&pclaptop-review.com
