Finally We TouchPad

Retna, with her new TouchPad

Not a fan of HP products.  I remember the very first aboutcom’s laptop that we bought for myself was a Compaq, which was already owned by HP when we got it.  I remember the endless trips to HP service centre then located in Damansara Heights, long q, terrible customer service.  One thing for sure it was good, the breakfast spread for clients, while waiting.

And of course, the expensive repair bills, which later we switched to some other brands.  Eventually, just with Mac.

It is truly unfortunate of how Palm ran its business, and got HP to buy the brand, and killed it.

So, I decided to buy a history piece, the HP TouchPad, which is going on USD99.  However, the seller that I found who could ship it to Malaysia, asked for a bit more, and I decided to pay him.

The delivery was fast.

And the first impression about TouchPad – it is heavy.  I thought it would be the same weight as iPad.  It also feels plastic, unlike iPad, aluminum.  The setup is easy.

The box only has a TouchPad, 2 user manuals and 1 USB charger.

More details coming.
