It's Windows 8 on ARM processors. Not Windows Phone 8. [nt] - Tendenzi, 06-29-2012 20:15 (Views: 44)

I can't for the life of me imagine why HP would be hesitant to build tablet PCs. [nt] - Phred, 06-29-2012 16:59 (Views: 43)

So shitty pc maker (good printers) refuses to make more shitty pcs - Glenn, 06-29-2012 16:39 (Views: 67)
