I have been waiting. I need a new laptop, but I want the convenience of a tablet, the capabilities of a business class laptop, and yes even the cool factor of the iPad- all at a price I can afford.
Enter the HP Touchpad. Here is a machine that has me drooling like a dog over a meat bone in the butcher shop window.
· With the ability to stack my “stuff” in layers while I am working on it, and still get right back to what I was working on with a flick of a finger, this is one user friendly device. (See, I need one for work.)
· Wireless printing to HP e-capable printers? Are you kidding? That is totally amazing!
· Only about a bazillion apps!
· Beat Audio, so I can listen to my favorite band with awesome quality! I mean, watch that edge of your seat training webinar.
· This thing even has quick Office so I can read work docs on the go. And in 30 days the create and edit feature will be out. Smooth.
· Kindle Reader & Store. Sweet! I was about to go purchase a Kindle, so now I can just apply those dollars to the TouchPad. My husband will be so excited I am saving him money!
· Gorilla Glass, developed by Corning to be sturdier than the standard. Believe me, I need that.
· Available Touchstone charger. You just lay the HP TouchPad on the easel and voila’, it charges! You can even setup the charger so that when the TouchPad is charging it functions as say- an alarm clock. Hey, I can have a new alarm clock too. See I am saving money again! (Ok, so I don’t need a new alarm clock, but don’t tell my hubby. Remember, I am saving money.)
· Free Butler Service for 90 days. This is a help desk on steroids. They can help you get your TouchPad setup, helping with things like transferring contacts, calendars and tasks. Setup email and IM, Transfer music, movies, and pics, learn more about backup and other features, plus answer any questions you might have. I know I work for an IT firm, but I like to look stupid as little as possible. This way I can get help without the techs knowing I ever needed it. J
· 50GB of free online storage to view and share- from Office documents to audio and video files. I can organize my content into folders, view it on my TouchPad, and share it with links!
· Of course Blue Tooth Wireless and a virtual keyboard.
· And a 1.3 megapixel webcam. Much better picture than you-know-who.
· One of my favorite features though is that this baby supports Flash! Now we are entering a new dimension!
It comes in 16GB for about $500, but for $100 more I can get the 32GB. Is that a real choice? 32GB here I come! Well, as soon as I wipe all the drool from my face.
