Okay, I've only had this thing a few days, but having worked in IT for MS and Xerox for nearly 20 years, I know a thing or two about PCs, laptops, Mac's and hardware along with various software packages. Right before Christmas 2010 I started thinking about getting an iPad2, and noticed the range of various iPad wanna-be's. I was amazed at the offerings and their claims, yet many didn't have any reviews and most were coming out of China. I cringed at the thought of buying some unheard of device that most likely come with worthless warrantees and dubious at best hardware configurations. I even looked at Dell's offering along with EEE pc's little touch netbook's. I very nearly bought one of them thinking. . . okay. . . the processor is about the same as the iPad's, the only big differences being Windows instead of iOS and more drive space. I'd come to hate Windows and defected to Mac O S when Vista was released. My big problem was that neither the iPad or my iPhone had enough storage space (I needed much more than 64gb). So a touch netbook it was going to be. I originally saw the HP TM2T and fell in love. . . but not with the price. HP Direct was offering its tablet for about $1200 as configured, which is very generous with an Intel i5 -470UM processor, 4 gb RAM, 500 gb drive, ATI 5450 graphics card, wifi and Windows 7 Home Premium. Ouch! Pretty pricey for whatis really a netbook. I thought I might as well just buy the iPad and live with the space limitations. Even on Amazonthese were selling for as high as $1900! For that kind of moneyI could just buy a MacbookPro. I really then hesitated when I started reading some of the Amazonreviews of the TM2, TX2 and theTM2T.

My story with this product starts quite ackwardly. . . I saw this product for the first time on the HP website on December 2010. It wasn't available yet with all the features I wanted on amazon. I could have bought it then but I was unemployed and I had other priorities. When I was absolutely ready for it, HP didn't have the customizing options I wanted, but the good thing is: AMAZON HAD IT! So I went online on January 20th and I finally purchased it!
