HP Compaq tc4200

REVIEW

By Cisco Cheng

If you've been wavering between notebook and tablet, waver no more: The HP Compaq tc4200 is a gem of a convertible. You get a full, powerful mainstream notebook—thanks to Intel's latest-generation Centrino platform—with the added bonus of a realistic pen-on-paper feel in tablet mode.
