Hot Cheapest Stocks To Invest In Right Now

That's right, folks. Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ  ) will be releasing a massive 21.5-inch tablet, which hardly qualifies as a mobile computing device. Despite the impracticality of traveling with a 21.5-inch tablet that has no battery, HP's newest brainchild will run Google (NASDAQ: GOOG  ) Android, sport an NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor, be compatible with a mouse and keyboard, and include a kickstand to prop it up like an all-in-one device. Perhaps the most surprising element of this announcement is the price. Starting at $400 and available in September, this tablet-meets-all-in-one device retails for half the current MSRP of HP's cheapest touch-enabled Microsoft Windows all-in-one PC.
