Just a question that needs to be asked....
HP unveiled 10 new mobile computers, one of them being their new TC4200. Personally, it looks like a great tablet. If I were in the market for a convertible, I'd seriously consider it. The press apparently likes it, too. Its' getting good reviews from all the online mags.
Now the question: If all laptops will one day have tablet functionality, why didn't HP introduce more convertibles? Its' been over two years since the launch of the Tablet PC, and out of the 10 mobile computers that got announced (for the enterprise business, mind you), they made 1 of them a convertible Tablet PC. It feels like HP's foot is still testing the Tablet PC waters.
Does something seem wrong with that picture?
