HP Introduces Sub-$100 Windows Tablet

Posted by timothy on from the race-to-bottom dept.

jfruh writes While Windows-based tablets haven't exactly set the world on fire, Microsoft hasn't given up on them, and its hardware partners haven't either. HP has announced a series of Windows tablets, with the 7-inch low-end model, the Stream 7, priced at $99. The Stream brand is also being used for low-priced laptops intended to compete with Chromebooks (which HP also sells). All are running Intel chips and full Windows, not Windows RT.

    Is 99 more than 100?

    And it still wouldn't be allowed for tests

    In my days we used pencil & paper to do math. We had to *gasp* actually work the problem out.

    My days sucked.
