Way Overpriced (Score: 1, Insightful) by Anonymous Coward on 2014-05-22 17:56 (#1VT) The same hardware is available for under $50 without the HP name.What exactly is the point of this, other than to tarnish what's left of HP's brand?I hope I'm wrong and that this thing is great.

Or maybe, Zombie Packard is out and about, haunting Meg Whitman and the other, previous CEOs that have driven HP from being field leader in so many technological efforts, to also-ran and box-pusher. Just threw out my HP 15C calculator last week; it had lasted since 1988 and was a great example of innovation, quality, and pride.That said, I'm all in on a $99 tablet. Samsung charges more than that - why not go for volume?
