Best Buy selling 32GB TouchPad for $450 below launch price

Though we here at Tech Herald Towers thought the defunct TouchPad tab comprised no more, it would come along finest Buy is still flogging HP’s purportedly dead technology horse.

Moreover, the leading U.S. retail outlet is bidding the TouchPad tablet at a bargain price to any customer in the market for a new PC purchase. Evidently, the nag’s legs are still a-twitchin’.

So, if you wander into a Best Buy this week and a HP or Compaq notebook or All-in-One computer system allures your eye—and your pocketbook—then you can also snaffle the upper-tier 32GB model of the TouchPad for a mere $149.99 USD.

For those with their ears suitably pricked (and they should be), that’s a banging ticket price reduction of $450 USD to secure a thoroughly decent webOS-powered tablet computer in its death throes simply because consumers didn’t buy it at launch.

But, as with any such offer, prospective customers will need to be quick off the mark—not least because HP has said that its final TouchPad production run includes only a limited amount of the 32GB model.

In terms of internal standards, the TouchPad comes equipped with a nimble dual-core 1.2GHz C.P.U., a full 1GB of RAM, and the critically applauded Palm webOS operating system.

Of course, if you don’t need such a hefty amount of gigabyte data storage, there’s all of the time the 16GB model, which—if you can still find one—sells for just $99 USD, down $400 USD on its initial launch price.

HP officially dropped the TouchPad around a month after its summer launching, shortly after Best Buy revealed that it had only been able to sell around 10 percent of the 270,000 TouchPad units it had stocked across its stores. thetechherald.com
