MORE CUT PRICE Touchpads are going on sale at Best Buy in the US this week, but this time you have to buy a PC to get a cheap one.
Best Buy's bundle allows consumers to get a 32GB HP Touchpad for $149.99 when they buy a PC, but the 16BG version is not available. The deal starts today for online purchases and will launch in stores on 4 November.
The option to buy a discount priced Touchpad is accessible to anybody who buys a Compaq laptop, desktop or all-in-one computer, but the offer excludes netbooks.
HP and Best Buy have already planned for those trying to be canny, also. Although the retailer will accept Touchpad returns for up to 14 days after purchase, if you return the computer and not the Touchpad, Best Buy will charge you $599.99, the full price of the tablet.
HP has said that it is out of stock of Touchpads and it is online inventory is "depleted".
"At HP, we try very hard to provide a positive experience to every client who purchases an HP product. In some cases, like the HP TouchPad where supply has been extremely limited from the start, we simply cannot meet demand," HP said in a statement.
"We are now announcing that while some retailers will have determined stock available, HP's online inventory is depleted."
HP's Touchpad firesale attracted a purchasing frenzy when the devices were reduced to as little as $100 during August. Then at the end of August, the company announced that it would release more of the sold out devices to meet demand.
The INQUIRER has contacted Best Buy in the Britain to see if the deal will be available here, but we're still waiting to hear back.
So if you really, really want a cut price Touchpad and live in the America, you'll need to fork out for a computer too. Surely a small price to pay. theinquirer.net
