CDW's not typically cheap either. It looks like these prices are very competitive compared to the m200. It'll be really interesting to compare this to the non-tablet 12" they just released to see how much the price difference is.

Their press kit shows some great shots. It doesn't look near as clunky as the default shot. That default shot on the item page looks like it has the traveler battery attached. This looks just as thick / thin as the M200, and looks very attractive.

I'm on the TAblet PC chat right now and asked about the other tablet that was to be announced. Apparently, this is it. The two tablets should be the two different configurations that the TC4200 is available in.

BTW: For those of you wanting to get your hands on the TC4200, it will be on display at WindowsAnywhere next week www.microsoftwindowsanywhere.com

Does 4.5lbs really count as an ultra-portable?

I love work; I can stare at it for hours.

If you follow the link to the HP specs page...

BOTH models are listed as having "WLAN and WPAN"...

I'm fairly sure that means both models have Bluetooth doesnt it?

Well I'm only going on HP's own specs...

The HP page clearly states that part number listed on CDW has integrated WPAN....

I'm not saying HP are never wrong...

Im just saying the HP does state that model has Bluetooth...

Great reviews because they cannot compare it to the new Toshibas coming out on Feb 8. This is nothing but a first generation Toshiba M100 Portege with a new processor. Don't fall for the hype, wait a week.

I guess that means that the Toshiba reviews will be good only because they can't compare it to the new Motion that will come out early this year, and then they will be flawed reviews. Yep - makes perfect sense. Thanks for that genius piece of logic.

If you have an agenda to really slam HP, I suggest you take the agenda elsewhere. Its' pretty evident from other posts what is going on.

Back on topic.

I would really like to have seen more hardware buttons (I *think* I see one or two in the lower-right outside side-edge in the last pic, and one in the middle-upper-left front bezel, near the HP logo). Two or three just aren't enough, really.

I also would have like one or two more pen-button areas.
