HP's new Android tablets land a little late, but with budget prices intact
Hewlett Packard's Slate line of Android tablets just barely missed their November deadline for retail launch. The company's latest take on tabs are finally here, however, and all you have to do is head over to its product page to order one. There, you'll find the seven-inch Slate7 Plus and Slate7 Extreme going for $150 and $200 respectively, while the eight-inch Slate8 Pro is $330. Why the differences in price? Well, the Slate7 Plus gets by with an NVIDIA Tegra 3 powerplant and a paltry 8GB of storage, while the Slate7 Extreme packs Tegra 4 silicon and 16GB inside. Naturally, the Pro provides extra screen real estate plus the same Tegra 4 and 16GB of internal storage. The extreme 7-incher is already out of stock, though, so you might want to jump on the other two lest those follow suit.
HP fills out its tablet lineup with four Android slates and two Windows models
When HP announced its first Android tablet, the Slate 7, we were surprised (and a little disappointed) to see the company attacking the low end of the market. Where were the high-end tablets, we wondered? What about some big-screened models? Or medium-sized ones? Turns out, HP was saving them all for the holiday shopping season. The company just announced four Android tablets, ranging in size from 7 to 10 inches. Two have Tegra 4, two can be had with 4G, and one has a stylus in the box. On top of all that, HP also introduced two more Windows tablets, including a 10-inch slate and an 11-incher with a keyboard dock. All will go on sale in November, though with the exception of one model HP isn't revealing pricing yet. For now, though, best if you study up on the specs: there's quite a bit to unpack here.
