When I first received the HP 2710p Tablet PC on evaluation from HP I went to the HP online store to check the pricing. I found that the configuration I am testing, 1.2 GHz Core 2 Duo, 100 GB hard drive, 2 GB memory and 2 MP web cam was priced at $2,299 (but minus the web cam). This price is in line with similar Tablet PCs so I was pretty pleased with that price. The ultra-slim battery is $179 and the expansion base is $299, both of which I would purchase if I was going to buy the 2710p. Tonight I went back to see if the pricing had changed or if HP was offering other configurations for order. Imagine my surprise when I saw this:
That’s right, the same configuration I am evaluating that is regular price of $2,299 without the web cam) is now on sale for $1,749 (with web cam)! This means you can order the 2710p, the ultra-slim battery and expansion base for less than the regular price of the Tablet alone. This just got a whole lot more interesting. :) Now the pool can start to see if I will buy one of these bad boys.
