I bought one at bestbuy a month ago for 150 because it was on a deal. I needed a laptop so I bought an hp laptop and for the touchpad for 150. I needed a laptop as well so it was a pretty fair deal to me.
In my opinion I think the touchpad is pretty neat. Yes there are some shortcomings but for the price it's a steal. Best thing is the touchpad supports flash so you can watch flash movies in it unlike the IPad.
The screen sometimes does not respond very well and it works really slow every now and then. But for 150 I shouldnt be complaining too much should I?
