GearDeal- HP TouchSmart tm2t 12-inch Convertible Multi-touch Tablet For $899.99

Posted on 02 February 2010 by


For years I used a tabletpc– a number of different ones actually. They were amazing productivity tools. I especially loved how the convertible tablet versions could be used as either a standard notebook or a tablet by simply flipping the screen around on itself. Unfortunately, many of those tablets suffered from low power and speed, high cost and short battery life. Oh, and you HAD to use the special pen or the device was mostly useless. Not so today’s deal from our GearSponsor.

The HP TouchSmart tm2t is a 12″ convertible tablet and ships with a capacitive multi-touch display. That means you can use the pen OR your fingers to interact with the machine. It runs a Core2Duo processor and has 2GB of DDR3 RAM. The HP touchSmart tm2t is

powered by low-voltage Intel Core 2 Duo processor and optional ATI Mobility Radeon 4550 discrete graphics. Also features aluminum design with “Riptide” engraved illustration, fingerprint reader, touch-enabled Netflix application and other TouchSmart software applications.

Specs include a Core 2 Duo SU7300, 2GB DDR3 (upgradable to 4), a 160GB 7200RPM Hard Drive, up to 9.75 hours and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The list price is $1199.99 but with this GearDeal you can get it for just $899.99 shipped!

Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. +Dan Cohen
