    Why doesn't HP offer tx2500 tablet with intel processors, isn't intel core2D supposed to be better than AMD?

    New puma platform with its roaring integrated graphics is a great solution for tablets

    not to mention that the tx2500 is not meant as a performance laptop so the puma platform is a much better value than any intel platform.

    Perhaps a better value, but not necessarily better performance...

    The TX tablet series has been AMD only since it came out early 2007. I also really wish it would use Intel processors and chipsets.

    Looks like AMD secured a exclusive deal with HP to use their processors in this lineup just like Via got a deal for HP to only use their processors in the 2133 MiniNote, which I also wished used Intel. :(
