The large tiles in the top row are running and are active. The small tiles in the bottom row are not running. Use the upper, large tile area for software programs you use the most often. Use the lower, small tile area to store the rest of your program shortcuts. If you have several programs open, you can scroll to see and interact with all of them in the TouchSmart Homepage view. Moving tiles To move a tile to the bottom row, drag straight down.
If you drag at an angle, the tiles in the top roll scroll. When you are dragging a tile, you can see the icon and a blue line where the icon will be placed. If you are playing music, it continues to play, even when you drag it to the bottom row.
To change the order of the top tiles, move the tile to the bottom row, scroll the top row to the location where you want the tile to go, and then drag it there. Figure : Moving a tile to the top row.

Our battery life tests will show. One of the reasons for the low system performance lies with the hard drive. It simply manages to score better during the storage sub score. Thus, the Sleekbook TouchSmart 15 is stuck at subnotebook-like graphics levels. As we had expected after the 3DMark results, gaming performance is virtually non-existent. Only a few older, less-demanding games manage to run more or less smoothly with everything set to low and usually a resolution of just x pixels.
If you are into gaming, there is no reason whatsoever to choose the Sleekbook TouchSmart 15 instead of its competitor. But does this at least lead to adequately low noise and heat emissions during usage? Actually, it does. While not remaining completely silent , the fan barely exceeds 35 dB A while browsing the web, composing e-mails or working with Office. Usually, however, emission levels are close to those of the background noise measured in our test chamber. This does not mean that the fan is turned off, but rather that it keeps spinning very slowly and quietly.
Possibly thanks to the constant activity of the silent fan, the laptop's surfaces remain cool at all times. Even under a worst-case scenario, operation on one's lap should never be a problem. We also observed how the CPU clock speed and temperature changes during different modes of operations. While the stress test was running, the clock speed of both cores remains between 1. Another 3DMark06 test run right after the stress test yielded the same score as the one before.
The 65 watts power adapter requires hours in order to fully charge the Pavilion's battery. Generally speaking, the laptop's power consumption pattern is close to that of its Intel sibling, with some differences under full load.
Similar results hold true for the Aspire VP , which is content with 9 to 11 watts sporting a comparably dim touch display as the Pavilion. Intel's counterpart, the Sleekbook bsg iU 1. This almost identical device albeit without a touchscreen comes equipped with the exact same 37 Wh Li-Ion battery.
Unfortunately, our Sleekbook TouchSmart does disappoint us in this regard. Despite its weak hardware components, no more than hours are reached during our Wi-Fi tests. At least under full load its battery life is better than the Sleekbook's by more than half an hour.
The battery of the Pavilion can be replaced, but there is no other option next to the 37 Wh variant. The oft-cited Aspire VP another However, its Core i3 some variants ship with an i5 as well is very well capable of resulting in a far better system performance than the AMD APU of our test device.
The low price point of the Sleekbook TouchSmart comes with strings attached. Notably, the creaky high gloss plastic chassis lacks some premium feel. In addition, weak battery life and a dim display don't help either. During outdoor usage especially in the sun , the reflective touchscreen of the Sleekbook TouchSmart becomes unusable. One of the few real arguments in favor of the TouchSmart remains its good ergonomics. However, this might not be enough to counterbalance its shortcomings.
The sturdy display lid of the touch panel. Silent and cool - this is how every laptop should be. If it had to be a slow laptop, it could at least have been a highly mobile one, meaning one with a very bright display, great battery life and a stable base unit.
HP manages to deliver none of these. Fingerprints and a greasy, glittery high gloss finish - this style doesn't fit in with the sedate zeitgeist at all.
Laptop sales are in decline, the outlook is gloomy. Can a touchscreen help reverse this trend? But does this also equate to a possible tipping point for the cheap laptop segment?
