 I have seen the HP tx1419nr notebook (12.1 inch screen) at my local
Best Buy, and have also seen a very similar tx1410us model at Circuit
City. I have a few questions:

1.        What are the differences between the tx1419nr and the tx1410us?
2.        The machines come with Vista Home preinstalled. Would I run into
any
problems if I wanted to delete Vista and install Windows XP Pro
instead? Any possible hardware of driver incompatibilities? Would
installing Windows XP Pro void the factory warranty?
3.        I have not been able to find those two models on www.hp.com. I
think
the closest match is the HP Pavilion tx2000z. Does that mean that the
tx1419nr and tx1410us have been discontinued? If so, then would the
tx2000z indeed be the closest match?
4.        Is the factory warranty valid in Europe, or in the US only?

TIA

As I ran into recently with a New Toshiba Laptop, there may not be any
XP drivers available for onboard devices.

Don't know that it voids the warranty, I am sure they won't support the
OS change.

There are two things in play in HP model numbers. First, you need to
look very carefully at the specs on each computer; one digit difference
in even the last numerical digit can mean a significant difference in
the hardware. Secondly, it is standard practice that big box stores
introduce a slight difference in numbers of models sold in a given store
to defeat price comparisons and price matching.

You are going to find that Vista models are becoming increasingly
difficult to downgrade to XP now that Vista is well established and XP
is nearing end of life cycle. This is going require research on the
availability of XP drivers at the vendor's support site, particularly
drivers for specialty notebook functions like media buttons, CD/DVD
players not requiring that the computer be booted, on-board cameras, etc.

The only difference I see between those two models is the 1410 has a
Lightscribe DVD burner and the 1419 has a standard 8X burner. All other
specs look identical.
Here are links to the two notebooks:

You likely could install XP, but be sure to download the needed XP drivers
from the HP website before you do.
