Do you want a 32GB HP TouchPad for $149?Folks are still foaming at the mouth, waiting for the chance to sink their teeth into their very own HP TouchPad thanks to the fire sale back in August that lead to the discontinued TouchPad being unloaded from store shelves for as little as $99 for the 16GB version.
Unable to resist the opportunity, HP vowed to produce one final batch of TouchPads, but decided to leave the terms of sale up to the retailers that got them.
Looks like we’re beginning to find out what those terms are.
As of November 1st (today), Best Buy has the 32GB HP Touchpad for sale on their website – but there’s a catch.
In order to get the 32GB HP TouchPad for the fire sale-inspired price of $149, you have to purchase a qualifying HP or Compaq computer with it.
Without the additional computer purchase, you can look forward to shelling out $599.99 for the 32GB HP TouchPad.
Isn’t that just peachy?
If you were thinking about being sneaky by returning the extra computer but keeping the TouchPad, you can forget it. Best Buy has stated in the terms of the special offer that if you return it without also returning the HP TouchPad you will be forced to pay the $450 difference.It looks like either way you’ll be looking at forking over a good $600, but at least you’ll have more than one computer and you’ll finally have your HP TouchPad.
Question is.... is the HP TouchPad really worth it? Share your thoughts below!
