$149 32GB HP TouchPad Tablet Deal Detailed Officially by Best Buy

Tweet

Those of you interested in buying a HP TouchPad tablet probably already know that there is no more stock left or at least there’s no $99 16GB webOS tablet version available anymore. Luckily for you, at least at first glance, Best Buy is going to start selling the 32GB TouchPad for just $149 tomorrow, which is still a great price for a high-end tablet.

But just like we told you a few days ago, Best Buy deal comes with an annoying catch. In order to be able to purchase the cheap tablet you will need to fork extra cash for a new HP computer. Best Buy made it all official today in a brief press release, of which just the first paragraph is worth noting:

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 28, 2011 – Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) today announced that beginning Tuesday, Nov. 1 customers can get the HP TouchPad for the low, low price of $149 with the purchase of an HP or Compaq laptop, desktop or all-in-one computer.1 Customers can take advantage of this deal online at BestBuy.com® and at all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile® standalone stores nationwide.

At the end of the press release Best Buy further explains:

1. HP TouchPad available for individual purchase, outside of the bundle offer, for $599.99.

It would seem that HP is ready to sell you the device for its regular price, and I do mean the full price of a 32GB tablet, before the company decided to dump the existing stock for nickels and dimes. Instead of paying full price for the TouchPad, you’d probably be better off getting yourself a brand new HP or Compaq computer and paying the extra $149 for the tablet.
