The HP Slate 21 is a product in search of a certain user. That user pines for the kludgy early days of mobile operating systems when only certain things worked right, and only if you were patient. It's an all-in-one desktop PC that runs Android Jelly Bean...

HP's Slate 21 is an interesting idea, but Android and its software simply aren't ready for this form factor yet. If you want an Android device with a large shareable screen, our recommendation is the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition). And if you wa...

Meet the HP Slate 21, a massive 21-inch, all-in-one desktop that brings Android to the big screen. We took the huge touchscreen hybrid for a spin to see if it can really replace your computer, or find a place on your kitchen counter. Read on to find ou...
At first glance, you probably wouldn’t notice this is powered by Android. The HP Slate 21 looks just like a desktop, with its 21-inch, 1080p IPS panel touchscreen, but it runs on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. The screen is brilliantly bright, with superb viewing angles, plus you can tilt it at various angles you want too, using the kickstand. It's easy to use while standing on a table top or as a sma...
Unfortunately, the negatives seriously outweigh the positives. The HP Slate 21 only packs 8GB of storage, which isn’t much for a desktop, though HP has softened the blow with 25GB of free cloud storage from Box. You can add more storage with an SD card or an external hard drive, but you really shouldn’t have to.And while HP has armed the Slate with a speedy Tegra 4 processor, it’s paired up with...
is it just doesn’t work that well, but at least it's fairly inexpensive at £329. The 1080p display looks great, but to actually use, it’s just frustrating. Overall, it’s a valiant and interesting effort from HP, but it’s one that falls very short inde...

Hewlett-Packard's first attempt at an Android tablet, the Slate 7, was a cheap, wretched and irredeemably awful device. So when I heard that the Palm killer's follow-up fondleslab was to be a 21-inch affair, my reaction was one of incredulity mixed with...
If you're after something for domestic web browsing, light computing duties, social networking and media consumption, the HP Slate 21 has plenty to recommend it. It's powerful, affordable, easy on the eye, comes with all the expected Android/Google goodi...

Windows has been the lingua franca for desktop PCs for just about as long as anyone can remember but there's no law that says it has to be so. Enter the HP Slate 21, an all-in-one PC that runs on Android. So should we think of it as a compact desktop, or...

In theory, the Slate 21 is the logical next step as Android becomes the default interface for more and more users -- why not extend it from the mobile to the desktop? Based on this evidence though, it's not quite ready yet. Not enough apps are optimised...

In short, it's the Slate that ain't. Even though HP stuck “Slate 21” into the name of its $399-list Android desktop computer (the full name is “Slate 21-k100 All-in-One Desktop PC”), the Palo Alto, Calif.-based electronics giant is quick to point out...

A low-cost Android all-in-one PC with a big screen, the Slate 21 is a pioneer, but too many of its design and component choices miss the mark. Cash-strapped households may find it workable as an Internet and media-consumption appliance, but little mo...

Our biggest issue with the design is the thick bezel around the display. The screen and bezel aren’t even close to being flush. It not only looks bad, it's awkward to swipe down from the top to see notifications or change settings. Plus, crumbs and other...

HP makes an all-in-one Android machine for the home: the Slate 21 All-in-One. But the company's business-oriented Slate 21 Pro is a far better value. It has twice as much memory and storage, and it boasts a number of features that aren't available on the...
