Most of the people who got the chance to play with the HP TouchPad remember it fondly. That poor tablet never got the chance it deserved; nor did WebOS. But HP is moving on with its life and choosing the safer road of making Android tablets. The first one...

HP’s first go-around with a tablet didn’t actually go so well. The webOS-based TouchPad didn’t last long and was quickly discontinued. However, the company is back with another slate, only this time it’s running the more widely-adopted Android operatin...

For $169.99, the HP Slate 7 would appear to offer a great value in the smaller Android tablet space. At $30 less than the older Nexus 7, on paper the Slate 7 looks like it's not a bad deal. It doesn't have GPS, is a tad heavier and bulkier, has a lower re...

Back when NVIDIA announced its Tegra Note platform, it was said that several manufacturers would be producing their own versions of the unit. The basic components are the same – Tegra 4, 1GB RAM, 1280x800 display, etc. – but each manufacturer is still...

All in all, I like the HP Slate 7 Extreme more than EVGA's Tegra Note 7, despite the fact that it has yet to receive the update to Android 4.3. The build quality is better, the display is better (even if only marginally), and I prefer the overall expe...

Let us start with the pros. The device feels great when held in hand, and gives the impression that this is a higherclass tablet than it actually is, above all thanks to HP's good artisanship. Metal frames and a matte background enable Slate 7 to naturall...

What I did not care for is Slate 7's display, which, unfortunately, does not use the IPS matrix, as I had hoped an established manufacturer like HP would. Its screen was made by FFS technology and a HP representative at the company's booth claimed it prov...
