The Computer For The Cool Kids

I do most of my reading in line at this place called Burrito Camión, so I love my HP TouchPad 32GB Wi-Fi Tablet.

Yeah, that’s right, a taco truck with Wi-Fi! The first day it pulled up outside my hip, newly gentrified apartment it was like I had died and gone to Heaven. But naturally, in a cutting-edge youth-oriented neighborhood like mine, Burrito Camión was crowded from day one. At first I figured “Hey, no problem! I’ll just read a few articles on my laptop as I wait!” Only… well, I guess if you’ve ever tried to carry a heavy laptop, a double guac burrito, a soda, a cup of salsa verde, some refried beans and a surprise bag of complimentary chips to thank you for being one of the first one hundred customers, you know that something’s gonna give. And, sadly, that something was my burrito. I was in tears, man. Tears.

But now, it’s been two weeks. And I’ve got an HP TouchPad 32GB Wi-Fi Tablet instead of a laptop. It lets me surf the net, send email, watch movies, and pretty much anything my laptop could do, all on the 9.7 inch screen. Except now I’m holding something that’s much easier to hold in one hand, and that gives me 50% more burrito space in Hand B.

It does kinda hurt that the guy who runs the truck has started calling me “Uncle Burrito Drop” but he gave me an extra scoop of guac so I guess he was just kidding. Maybe I’ll use my HP TouchPad 32GB Wi-Fi Tablet to friend him on Facebook and we can be Internet BFFs. Can you imagine? Being friends with a guy who runs a taco truck? It’s like the modern-day equivalent of hanging out with The Beatles!
