The tablet market is very competitive nowadays. Not because there are too many, but because there are fewer, better ones. Any manufacturer (aside from the big ones) releasing a tablet has to really stand out to make a good impression. Does HP has what it takes to make a high-end tablet successful?
The HP SlateBook 10 x2 has just been released and it comes with everything you could wish from a powerful tablet. The device offers a 1.8 GHz quad-core Tegra 4 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, Android 4.2 and a 10.1-inch 1920×1200 LED display.
All of this will cost you $479, including the dock. There is no tablet-only option, so you will not be able to purchase the tablet for cheaper. The price is not horrible once you consider what the bundle offers, though.
It looks like a good option for those looking for a Transformer-like tablet. It is cheaper than buying the ASUS Transformer Prime with a dock, which still costs over $550 (for the tablet and keyboard). ASUS has built a good reputation, though. Would you trust HP with a high-end tablet? They haven’t really offered high-end Android tablets until now.
You can buy the HP SlateBook 10 x2 straight from HP’s official website and it is coming to more retailers soon.
