With a price tag of
$169.99, Hewlett Packard (HP) on Friday released its first Android based tablet
PC, Slate 7. The company has made its reentry into the consumer tablet market
after the TouchPad imploded in 2011.
This new
tablet PC comes with 7.0-inch HFFS (High-aperture-ratio Field Fringe
Switching) LCD screen which supports 1024x600p display resolution. It is run on
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.
It is powered by ARM
cortex A9 based dual-core processor with 1.6GHz CPU. It includes other features
are 1.6GHz CPU, 1GB DDR3 SDRAM and 8GB SSD memory which can be expanded up to
32 GB via microSD card.
This new tablet PC is
expected to hit the U.K. stores in early May. Because of its low-cost price
tag, it can be considered to be a price-friendly tablet PC in the
price-sensitive Indian market overflowing with low-cost tablets churned out by
local as well as international brands.
Due to its cheap rate, it
can beat other brands like Google's Nexus, Samsung's Galaxy Tab and Amazon's
Kindle Fire HD, which are priced at $199.
Prior to Slate 7, the
American computer company launched its first Google-based device ‘Pavilion 14
Chromebook’. This device was based on Google Web-OS.
