Hiton HT-960 tablet rocks HP Slate's specs, $100 cheaper price

Right now HP's Slate is looking like it'll possess a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, and an 8.9-inch 1024 x 600 touchscreen, all for somewhere between $549 and $599. What we have here is another tablet offering almost identical netbook-like specs (though with only 16GB of SSD storage compared to HP's 32+) at a price of just $418. That's quite a savings if you can get over the rather chunkier styling -- and the unfortunate Windows XP install. You can even get 3G wireless for an extra $80 if you're so inclined, and according to the site it's available to ship right this very moment. But, after the recent issues with another no-name tablet, we'd think twice before dropping our credit card on this particular order form.

[Thanks, Dan]

@CBONE We're well aware that there are multiple 1.6GHz atom chips, and we're also well aware that the performance differences between them, even going single to dual-core, is sadly minimal.

Why so much hate for this and so much love for HP Slate? They basically have the same specs except for the capacitative vs. resistive screen.

You all hail Slate for having Windows 7 as its OS and this probably would have the same; however, this is utterly bashed for having similar specs? Show some love!

I think the reason it is cheaper is because it's made out of jello.

Next thing my Mailman will be coming out with a Tablet.
