On the cusp of Mobile World Congress 2014, HP has introduced two new business tablets, the first of which is the HP ProPad 600 G1. With this slate comes fairly robust hardware and Windows 8.1/Pro, which runs on the device's 64-bit Intel Atom quad-core processor. The HP ProPad 600 will be made available with two processor options: the aforementioned 64-bit Atom option, or a 32-bit Intel Atom Z3775 1.46GHz quad-core offering. The display measures in at 10.1-inches with a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution, and there's the common Corning Gorilla Glass in place with anti-smudging. Users will have their choice of either Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Pro, as well as either 32GB of internal storage space or 64GB of storage. There will be 2GB or 4GB of memory, depending on model, as well as a micro SD expansion slot that supports SDXC cards. The slate itself is graphite in color with Soft Touch paint. Connectivity is as you'd expect: Bluetooth 4.0 + Low Energy, and 802.11 a/b/g/n wi...

We already knew that HP was working on its own phablet and tablet duo and today, the company has official announced the two new devices. The first one is a phablet that is named Slate6 VoiceTab and the second one is a tablet, which is dubbed Slate7 VoiceTab. As the name itself suggests, both new additions will have the voice-calling capabilities. The new entries are powered by quad-core processors, which according to HP lets you multi-task without having to compromise with its performance. HP Slate6 and Slate7 are expected to come out with 6-inch and 7-inch displays respectively. The devices are also rumored to run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box, but the official hardware specs of the both the devices are unknown at the moment. Previous rumors suggest that the 6-inch Android phablet will be priced under $250, while the 7-inch model is said to come with an even more affordable $199 price tag. HP Slate 6 VoiceTab and HP Slate 7 VoiceTab is expected to go on sale in India...

The latest Slate 21 Pro AiO from HP comes with Android out of box, but also has the ability to act as a touchscreen display for a Windows 8 PC. HP also took advantage of the pre-CES festivities by announcing the ProOne 400 and 205 AiOs, the Pro x2 410 and 350 G1 notebooks, and the HP 200 Microtower. The most notable of the five new products launched by HP yesterday, the Slate 21 Pro is the first from the company to run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean rather than Windows. The 21.5-inch IPS-toting fullHD all-in-one is powered by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 CPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. There’s also an HDMI port for using the Slate 21 Pro as a touchscreen for any connected computer, alongside three USB ports, a SD card reader, 720p webcam, and wired ethernet alongside WiFi. Also revealed were the HP ProOne 400 and 205 all-in-ones. The ProOne 400 features a 19.5-inch display with a native resolution of 1600 x 900 available in both touch and non-touch variants. Intel Core ...

HP iPaQ of  yesteryear HP is reportedly working on some new smartphones for the end of this year, though they might not be the phones we’d hope for. According to The Information HP is working on some low-end Android phones for emerging markets like China, India, and the Philippines by the end of this year. The phones will probably be 6-inch and 7-inch devices that will cost about $200 to $250 without a contract. At those prices in those markets, the new HP phones would be strictly low-end, though it’s hard to imagine them being as great as the low-end Moto G. Rumors about HP making smartphones aren’t exactly new. Neither is the idea of the company making Android devices. HP released the Slate 7 Android tablet earlier this year, which is also a relatively cheap device. More Android tablets are on the way, though HP has never publicly made any announcement about smartphones, only talking about them as “long term” prospects. The current rumors don’t give HP much time to anno...

This week the folks at HP have had a couple of leaks of a device that’s obviously exciting enough to chat about in secret – now made official in the HP Chromebook11. This device takes on Chrome OS in a colorful manner, coating the outside and bottom half of the inside in a shiny white plastic and the accents in black or one of several brightly colored tones: blue, green, red/pink, or yellow. This Chromebook takes on the estimated street price of $279.99 USD, too, so it’s certainly ready to do battle with the rest of the Chromebook universe right out the gate. HP goes so far as to suggest that their Chromebook11 is “inspired by the Pixel’s iconic design” – that’s the Chromebook Pixel, if you did not know. This beast is the first Chromebook with an IPS LCD display as well, sporting 1366 x 768 pixels across it. To power this little beast you’ll find a Samsung Exynos 5250 SoC with Intel HD Graphics and 2GB DDR3L RAM to back it up. This machine works with what HP calls an “island-style ...

HP Slate 7 Extreme First up, we have the Slate 7 Extreme, a 7-inch Tegra 4-powered tablet with a 1280 x 800 resolution. The handset also has a 5MP rear cam, a VGA front cam, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even a stylus. Sounds pretty familiar, right? That’s because the Slate 7 Extreme is actually based on the Tegra Note reference tablet that Nvidia announced just yesterday. HP Slate 7 HD While the first of HP’s new tablet is really just a rebranded Nvidia device, the Slate 7 HD is a ‘true’ HP tablet and in many ways seems quite similar to the older HP Slate 7. Here you’ll find a 7-inch 1280 x 800 IPS display, a Marvell PXA986 CPU, Beats Audio, a front and back cam, microSD and a battery that is rated for about 9 hours of life. The Slate 7 HD will also come in a 3G/4G model, which will offer 200MB of free 4G data via T-Mobile’s network for a period of two years. HP Slate 10 HD The HP Slate 10 HD is a low-end 10-inch Android tablet, with the same 1280 x 800 resolution as the smalle...

Sometimes you need a laptop, and sometimes you need a tablet. Such is the philosophy behind detachable PCs, with the newly unveiled HP Split x2 being one of two announced today, with the HP SlateBook x2 being the other. With a 13.3-inch HD display, it’s big enough for a variety of tasks, yet still small enough to tote around sans-body as a tablet. Read on for the full details; we’ve got a video for you after the jump With the HP Split x2, consumers get a 13.3-inch high-definition touchscreen display that can be detached from the base, which contains an extra optional hard drive for additional storage on top of the storage in the detachable unit. As with the dual hard drives, there are dual batteries for “ultramobility,” all of it wrapped up in a soft-coated shell to keep fingerprints to a minimum. Under the hood, users will find a 3rd-generation Intel Core processor (Core i3 and Core i5 options) and up to 8GB of RAM, while audio is provided via Beats Audio and HP Connected Music....

It would appear that NVIDIA is ready to power HP’s newest attempt at converging the mobile and desktop worlds with a transforming notebook/tablet machine called the HP SlateBook x2. This device works with a 10.1-inch HP touchscreen display, an NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor under the hood, and a version of Android that’s all but vanilla. Taking on the mantle brought up with the ASUS Transformer tablet/notebooks many seasons before, here HP attempts to make Android an all-day OS. Inside this device you’ve got 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot that allows you to expand memory by 32GB, and 2GB of RAM. You’ll also be able to work with full-sized SD cards in a slot separate from the smaller cards. Inside both the slate itself and the keyboard dock you’ll find batteries ready to bring on a rather massive amount of up-time. Sound will be handled by HP’s implementation of DTS Sound+, which sounds nice, but this device’s speakers continue to suffer from the dreaded back-facing synd...

It looks like HP might be preparing a major Android push in the near future. With the HP Slate 7 now out the door, there have been two new HP Android devices allegedly revealed today, both thanks to AnTuTu benchmarking scores. Earlier we reported on the HP Slate 21 AIO, and now it looks like a device called the HP SlateBook 10 X2 is also in the cards. Just like the HP Slate 21 AIO , the SlateBook 10 X2 benchmark reveals a device equipped with a Nvidia Tegra 4 processor and running on Android 4.2.1. While they run the same processor, the SlateBook X2 actually scored a bit higher on the posted results with a 27,259 versus the Slate 21′s 23,584. Of course, benchmark results can vary wildly from test to test, so the difference in scoring might not mean much. So is this legit? Hard to say, as benchmarks can certainly be faked. If they are indeed real, it’s interesting to see HP is not only embracing the high-end of Android, but doing it with Nvidia as a partner. So far the only other...

HP the leader of PC manufacturing has recently launched his first Android power Tablet, HP Slate 7. Hp has something interesting in his Lab for you. A new AnTuTu benchmark score has shown up for HP Slate 21 AIO, running Android 4.1.2 Jellybean and packing a Tegra 4 processor. The device will have 21 Inch display. As we know, Asus has already unveiled a massive all in one/tablet powered by Android named The 18.4 inch Transformer AiO and Transformer AiO runs both Android and Windows. Tegra 4 processor is to power several gadgets starting this quarter. Till now there are no words about Slate 21 AIO by HP official. The Actually Benchmark score for the Device’s Tegra 4 processor was only 23,584. The new chip was said to score over 36,000 points, so the Slate 21’s 23,000 is actually pretty disappointing. But the device is under the pre-release prototype, so we should expect better scores once the device will be out. There are many question about HP Slate 21 AIO will unanswered, incl...

It looks like HP has something special up its sleeves, and no, it doesn’t appear to be another desktop or laptop computer. HP sent out invitations that say “experience the disruption on April 8.” Whatever this new product or service may be, the company is calling it “Moonshot” — whether or not that’ll be the official name is still anyone’s guess. The only other information regarding this new product is that it will be “a new platform that was designed for the data center and built for the planet,” according to HP. That doesn’t really narrow it down too much, but it seems it’ll be enterprise-related, and will most likely not be a consumer product. Or it could very well be a consumer product, but with enterprise-esque features. HP CEO Meg Whitman will obviously be there to make the big announcement, as well as Dave Donatelli, who is HP’s executive vice president and general manager of Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking for the Enterprise Business. That means that this anno...
