The netbook is back. That was my initial impression of the HP SlateBook x2, a 10.1-inch convertible tablet with a removable keyboard dock.With its 1,920 x 1,200-pixel screen and Nvidia's latest Tegra 4 chip, the SlateBook x2 is obviously a more sophist...

With its 1,920 x 1,200pixel screen and Nvidia's latest Tegra 4 chip, the SlateBook x2 is obviously a more sophisticated animal than the inexpensive netbook...

Despite its quadcore processor, the SlateBook x2 can be sluggish at times.

Until about a year ago, most Android devices were equipped with Nvidia's Tegra SoC. Then Qualcomm appeared to take over with various versions of its Snapdragon chips. Today we're taking a closer look at the 10-inch HP SlateBook x2, which carries the lat...

The netbook is dead, and HP’s Mini-note range hasn’t exactly been resurrected, but that isn’t stopping the brand from attempting something close in the Android-based SlateBook, a machine that tries to do what made the Envy X2 work so well, except with...

Loads of storage options; Excellent screen resolution; Minimal changes to Google's Android "Jelly Bean"; Full size USB and HDMI port;...

Despite the decent specs, the system can stall; Proprietary charge port; Only one USB port; Keyboard needs more depth;...

Netbooks may be dead, but HP's SlateBook feels like it's trying to take the place of that style of machine, with a delivery of a computer that acts as both tablet and notebook, except for a price point closer to that of budget Ultrabooks.It's not that the...

Can't decide between a lightweight tablet and a notebook computer? HP attempts to give you both with the SlateBook x2, an Android-powered convertible tablet with an exceptionally comfy keyboard given its small size and weight...

Very fast quad, core processor, Sharp screen resolution, Comfy keyboard...

Dim display, Short battery life, Not exceptionally lightweight...

As you may have noticed, there's plenty of competition in the Android tablet space. The SlateBook x2 lacks the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1's pen support, and it's not the sweet deal the much smaller, lightweight Google Nexus 7 is. The Apple iPad remains our...

Meet the HP SlateBook x2, a £379 10.1-inch Android tablet that’s out in August and can double up as a mini-laptop to help you get your work done on the move while also shifting to single slab mode with the click of a latch. It‘s similar in concept to t...

Simply put, the HP SlateBook x2 touchscreen is stunning. HP‘s managed to stuff a full HD 1080p panel into the 10.1" tablet half of the device, and it's even better than its Envy x2 cousin's panel: you simply cannot see the pixels. It‘s sharp and responsive, and its viewing angles are great too - there‘s no doubt you‘ll be able to share a decent movie with friends on the high-res display. Alongsid...

Unfortunately, while the tablet portion is top-notch, the lower keyboard half is just not up to the same standard. While it does offer you USB and HDMI ports, an SD card reader and an extra battery, the keyboard is full of flex and it‘s not entirely comfortable to type on either. The trackpad is also annoying, proving to be inaccurate and mushy to touch, and it often gets in the way when typing -...

HP has crafted itself a brilliant tablet that‘s unfortunately been bogged down by the keyboard attachment that strives to be an addition, rather than a hindrance. As a tablet, the fast and nippy HP SlateBook x2 is a decent bit of kit that we would love...

HP is no stranger to dockable tablet devices. Last year, when convertible Ultrabooks were first hitting the market, HP put its money on the Envy x2, an 11.6-inch Intel Atom-powered Windows 8 tablet with a keyboard dock that transformed it into a notebook...

The HP Slatebook x2 isn't a bad tablet overall, but unfortunately many of its positive qualities come attached with a caveat that makes it hard to recommend. For example, despite boasting a full HD resolution, its poor viewing angles, extra glossy finish...
