HP Slate 7

The HP Slate 7 is an upcoming tablet from HP aimed at rivalling the Nexus 7 from Google. It's not as robust as Google's offering, but it does occupy a lower price point. Inside the Slate 7 there's a dual-core 1.6 GHz processor, front and rear-facing 3MP cameras, 8GB of internal memory and 1 GB of RAM.


The display is a fingerprint magnet

The 7 inch display is of 600 x 1024 pixels resolution, and is about the same mediocre quality as that of the Nexus 7. Colors are washed out, there's not much contrast, and the screen is very prone to fingerprints; we suspect there's no anti-smudge coating to be found anywhere.

The buttons on the sides are solidly built and don't feel as if they'll break anytime soon, but the back seems to be made of a material that, although it looks nice, will undoubtedly scratch easily from use.


The construction of the tablet is decent

You can check out a brief hands-on video here:

Benchmark performance is also about what you'd expect from a device of this caliber.
