CNET writes about HP Tablet PCs line: “The lone remaining tablet in HP’s lineup, the convertible tc4200 is a close sibling to the ultraportable nc4200.

The $2,099 tc4200 unit that CNET tested had good performance and battery life, a responsive keyboard, and a standard three-year warranty.

On the downside, at 4.7 pounds, we found it a bit heavy for a tablet, especially one that lacks an optical drive….”

CNET also reviews HP Compaq tc4200 and writes: “Measuring 1.5 inches thick by 11.1 inches wide by 9.3 inches deep and weighing 4.7 pounds, the dark-gray tc4200 tablet is on a par with Toshiba’s Portege M200 convertible tablet but a few ounces heavier than the Motion M1400 Tablet PC.

Add in the 9-ounce AC adapter, and the Tablet PC tc4200 hits the road with a reasonable travel weight of 5.2 pounds. The key to its success is that its LCD lid swivels clockwise and easily folds flat for write-and-run operations; an adequate stylus pops out of the tablet’s side.

Unlike any other tablet, the tc4200 offers the same processor, hard drive, memory, and software as the ultraportable HP Compaq nc4200 Notebook PC, which should make deploying it in a corporate environment easier.” Read full review of HP Compaq tc4200 at CNET
