I have to admit I have absolutely no idea why these gearsponsor deals come in exactly four hours after I’ve already purchased a laptop. Although my purchase this morning involved a Netbook, I would have been tempted by this 12.1 inch HP TouchSmart tx2z. For a limited time they’re also offering a free 4GB RAM upgrade, free 320 GB hard drive upgrade, free HP DeskJet printer (after mail in rebate) and free shipping. The screen offers multi-touch control. Use two finger gestures to do cool stuff like zoom in and out of web pages or rotate photos. If a stylus is your thing, use one to take notes on the screen (which folds back for ease of use).
