I just scored 2 HP touchpads 16gb :D

if you guys already dont know HP is selling their touchpads really cheap(its a fire sale)

i got two of them over amazon for 99 each plus shipping

one of them is for myself which i will be using in school while the other one is for my dad which i think he wants to sell for profit

if you guys want to get one head over to SD or something... you might get lucky


speaking of school the people im rooming with for the upcoming year bailed on me
its not really a problem for me.. but i really wanted to have SCII and DOTA2(when it comes out) buddies to room with :/

so its either im stuck with people i dont know(which i dont have a problem with, unless they're assholes) or by myself, which isnt really that bad just incredibly lonely :(

well i wont be alone, there will be two other people from the other room, but me in a big room by myself seems pretty depressing

eh more room for my mining rig for bitcoins once i actually make one

still even with that, i cant wait for next month, SF64 3D, new school year, 10 free games for my 3DS, birthday and conclave for a group im in(cookie for the people who know what i'm taking about)(and no its nothing to do with any religion :P)

Information. Now.

This.

Been looking all over for these. Especially since I heard some people are working to get Android on it.

I wonder how many I should buy without feeling like a complete idiot later on. I mean, this is a nationwide clearance sale, a retailer would have to be idiotic to not drop the price now. Plus, people might not like these as Christmas gifts. I'm probably just gonna buy one for myself.

Oh yeah, and be careful of any links you see, as some people will try to phish you during this frenzied time.

And if you for some reason weren't able to get one: http://news.yahoo.com/99-hp-touchpad-worth-201300190.html

the place where i got it from (onSale via amazon) cancels orders if you get more than two per household.. TBH im still hoping mine doesnt get cancelled :/

so try two, and sell the other one, i've seen people who want it for 150-200(well at least in my area)

if anything the price will go up, its been discontinued and Hp wont make any more of them


thats true, but this link i had saved since before it price dropped, but it doesnt hurt to double check

edit: and if you think that the OS sucks for whatever reason( i have no idea yet) android is being ported over http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=3327

i know how you feel... of course i wont be able to use it once it arrives anyways, i have to wait until school starts >_>


oh forgot to mention, you get free 50 GB of storage from box.com

it sucks it cant do netflix though :/

Oh well. I use Netflix on the main computer anyways. It already does everything I want a good tablet to do, so I should be very content. Maybe I'll use the extra money I have leftover to buy a case or something.

I am seriously considering this but I just bought a laptop recently and I'm still kinda in sticker shock from that. However this is a great price. :unsure:

[quote name='dgwillia' post='3846986' date='Aug 21 2011, 10:10 PM']Meh, pretty cool and all, but i just cant really justify 100$ on it <_<.[/quote]

It's a $500 tablet for $100. It justifies itself.

it is, it more or less your last chance until newegg changes their price( they probably will soon, like tomorrow at the earliest) it'll be hard to get them after a while

true, a laptop is better that this, but im only buying this because it works more as a ebook reader than my laptop will... and its lighter too

edit: its on sale for dirt cheap too... cant beat that
 
dgwillia
By that logic, the fact that its 500$ down to 100$ means it might spontaneously combust in your lap.

Either way, it'd probally just end up sitting on my shelf getting dusty. (Just like my Ipod Touch, and my other various electronic devices)

100 bucks. doesn't apple charge something insane like 600 dollars? lol.

well I think I can pass either way. I have enough clutter as it is. the price on this is interesting to me at most. I am just keeping my money saved for the next time I upgrade my desktop or purchase a new laptop.

sad to say though, an i5 15" apple laptop is about $1600 and that is about $1000 more than it needs to be. 13" will go on sale at some point for $900 but that leaves much to be desired as well.

I'm incredibly surprised how few people knew about this here, it's been everywhere on the internet, i got a 32gb from OnSale selling on Amazon

There's a thread and everything. I knew about it the night before the morning that the sale was due to start happening.
 
Jamstruth
They're still selling them for around £300 on Amazon UK :( Was totally hoping to snap one up for £60 or something
 
raulpica
Oh gawd I want them too, but I can't find 'em around here :(

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Kodi repost are still pretty popular
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Google them basically web crawlers to movie sites
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
