During the HP Black Friday sale, you can save up to $270 instantly including a $200 instant discount. The base TouchSmart tm2t configuration starts at $849.99 and comes with an Intel Core i3 ULV processor, 4GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The tm2t has a 12.1″ touch screen that works with your fingers or with the included stylus for a better inking and note taking experience.

The tm2t is much more of a content creation machine than the iPad, thanks to a keyboard. Full Windows 7 OS and stylus for taking ink notes. But, it doesn’t compare to iPad in terms of portability and battery life. The iPad is much lighter and it’s battery will last at least twice as long as that of the tm2t.

The HP tm2t is great tablet for students to look at since you can combine it with Evernote to keep track of all of your classes and information.

Black Friday: HP TouchSmart tm2t up to $270 off is a post by Josh Smith from Notebooks.com.

The dm4t as configured is powered by the powerful 2.26GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM and a 500GB hard drive. The 14″ display supports a resolution of 1366 x 768 and is LED backlit. The estimated battery life for the dm4t is 6.25 hours which is probably a bit high, but will likely be decent given the size and price of this laptop.

The HP Pavilion dm4t, like the rest of the current HP Pavilion line, has an etched metal shell that doesn’t attract fingerprints and  it also has an island style keyboard, which generally delivers a much better typing experience than the cramped keyboards found on budget notebooks.

This notebook has some pretty decent specs and thanks to the powerful processor and plentiful RAM it will handle the needs of most home users and prosumers who want to edit some HD video to share on YouTube and edit photos. This isn’t a laptop to pick up if you want to game. If that’s the case, look at the HP Pavilion dv7t Special Edition.

The dm4t Black Friday sale includes a $230 instant rebate, FREE 500GB hard drive upgrade ($40 savings), $10 off 15-month Norton Internet Security subscription and $20 off Microsoft Office 2010 Home & Student.

Keep in mind, some lines have already formed and if you are going to be out in the elements you’ll want a tent, food, someone to watch your spot during bathroom breaks and a coat like the ScotteVest Revolution Plus Jacket with 26 pockets for all your Black Friday gear.

If you are really set on getting something on Black Friday from places like Best Buy or Walmart you should kiss Thanksgiving goodbye and get ready to line up around noon on Thursday, at the earliest.

This should be adequate for many home users who want to surf the web, listen to music and more. you can do some hot editing and multitasking on this laptop as well.
