More HP TouchPads Selling at $149 - with Strings Attached

HP Touchpad TabletLooks like anyone that’s hoping to snag a HP TouchPad tablet at the fire sale price can expect to purchase more than one PC in order to get it.

TigerDirect announced their new HP TouchPad deal, which offers shoppers the opportunity to buy a HP TouchPad for $149 if they buy a qualifying HP laptop or desktop computer at the same time.

However, folks ready to jump at the deal may want to stop and read the fine print:

  • You will be paying the HP TouchPad’s full retail price of $299 at checkout.

  • You will have to remember to send in a mail-in rebate for $150 to ultimately get the fire sale price of $149.


At least it’s the 32GB version, right?

Best Buy recently advertised a similar deal, although their savings appeared to be instant.

If you’re looking to get the HP TouchPad only, you may want to check Amazon for the best deals. The HP TouchPad prices may not be as low as $99 or even $149, but they’re at least lower than TigerDirect’s retail price.

Will you be buying a HP TouchPad or are you going to go for a different tablet?
