Don\’t you simply adore it when a plan comes together? Or when a rumor plays out perfectly? We\’re staring at a case of the latter here today, as HP\’s oh-so-lovable 12-inch TouchSmart tm2 is now available to order with a Core i5 processor. Just months after gaining Core i3 support, the convertible tablet can now be ordered with a 1.2GHz Core i5-430UM (in a position to hitting 1.73GHz with Turbo Boost). Said CPU may be paired with integrated Intel graphics or with a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450, and 4GB of DDR3 RAM is standard on either configuration. Hit the links below to analyze further, but you should keep your plastic far, far-off unless you\’re kosher with impulse buys of a rather significant caliber.
