HP TouchPad coming to Best Buy but with a catch

Yesterday HP finally announced that they have run out of HP TouchPad all together. All those who signed in to be notified of device availability were notified that their stock has totally depleted. But the email from HP also informed users to check with local retailers for availability and it looks like one retailer has some devices in stock.

Best Buy has informed of a an upcoming promotion which will offer the HP TouchPad. The promotion which will start on November 1st and will allow customers to purchase the 32GB version of the tablet for $149.99 but there is one catch.

You will have to purchase an HP computer if you want to get the tablet at the discounted price. You wont be able to get the device at the discounted price without the computer and if you choose to return the PC you will have to pay the full $599.99 price for the tablet.

This may be a clever way for Best Buy to push sales for their HP laptops and even try and make money off the discounted HP tablets. So unless you are in the market for purchasing a new laptop, this deal may not be the best for you.
