HP has plenty of notebooks, but the one that really leaps out at us is the HP Pavilion tx2500z laptop series, also known as the "Swivel." These combo notebook-tablets feature Advanced Micro Devices dual-core Turion chips in 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2GHz flavors, with the base configuration starting at about $900. What else do you get with the Swivel? Start with the 12.1-inch, 1280x800 WXGA Hi-Def HP BrightView with integrated touch-screen that, you guessed it, swivels sideways, around and flat for tablet capability. You also get from 1GB to 4GB of RAM and 160GB to 320GB of hard disk space. The operating system is one of four versions of Microsoft Windows Vista -- it's up to you how much cash you want to send Redmond's way -- and AMD supplies the ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics.
