HP finally returns to the mobility market with the "Slate 7", yet another tablet ... low cost running Android!
With computer market lowered, HP could not decently shun the more buoyant market mobility long, after the failure and abandonment of webOS devices.
A technical trivialHe therefore turn to a tablet 7 inch screen. Failure to display a high-definition, as it sticks to WSVGA (1024 x 600 pixels), this screen is based on a slab with HFFS which the manufacturer promises a comfortable reading in the dark as in the light. In terms of restitution, the camera also has a pair of speakers stamped Beats Audio, but no figures unfortunately is communicated.
The "HP Slate 7" also has a front VGA sensor (300,000 pixels) and a sensor back to 3 million pixels, without LED. It features a SoC ARM Cortex-A9 double-heart at 1.6 GHz of unknown provenance. HP would probably boasted if this chip came from a great depth U.S., we can think that it comes from a Chinese manufacturer or as Allwinner MediaTek. It is anyway associated with 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, expandable by microSD, and a Wi-Fi N and Bluetooth 2.1. There is however no GPS or NFC.
But a reputed brandIt rests finally on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and weighs 370 grams with its stainless steel frame. This "HP Slate 7" will be launched in the U.S. in April retail price of $ 170 (about 150 euros), before crossing the Atlantic "shortly after".
This time HP has abandoned the idea to make a clear difference with the competition, as he had done with the HP TouchPad running webOS. One can even say that it is returned to the ranks, since the tablet is somewhat trivial. But the consumer knows more HP, the number one computer market, Acer, Asus and Lenovo, and it will probably be sufficient for a successful first step in the market.
