Are you saying that a lower end graphics dual core laptop that's 2 years old is not offering stellar video editing capability? consider me shocked, SHOCKED to hear this. In all seriousness, this is not the kind of machine that is designed for that kind of usage.
Feel free to rant to your hearts content, this community is built on people helping people with problems, you can see from the notebook threads that the tx2 is not everything for everyone, it has a few flaws, some folks that aren't all that happy with it. Laptops are all about compromises in design to try and give something unique to the consumer, not about being the fastest thing on earth (that's why we have quad core desktops with 12GB of RAM and SSDs)
Hey guys, I've never gotten good performance from my touchsmart.
I want to edit video using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 or CS5, but forget about it. Its not happening on this TouchSmart tx2-1025dx.
Very disappointed and will probably not buy any more HP products.
Check out the video I recorded from my phone showing the poor performance:

Is there something wrong with my TouchSmart or is this normal?
Adobe Premiere CS4 doesn't work AT ALL. Based on the specs, I can understand that it might be a LITTLE slow, but not to the point where it renders video at 1 to 2 frames (or less) per second. That's absurd. Recently these days, the computer is always finding itself at 100% CPU usage with only a folder open in Windows Explorer and Google Chrome running normal tabs. I know what a computer is supposed to do, and I know this one doesn't. The touchsmart has better specs than my desktop yet my desktop can run Premiere Pro fairly well (well enough to edit video) while the touchsmart can't (video editing completely out of the question). On top of this all, we're talking about standard definition video here; something that's been around since WAY before the TouchSmart tx2 1025dx was released.
