HP is still in the business of making new mobile devices. Just recently, the company introduced two new Android tablets that are ideal for the business professionals. The HP Pro Slate 8 and HP Pro Slate 12 is part of a new Pro Slate series from the brand. It’s totally different from the Slate and Touchpad slates we’ve seen in the past.
The HP Pro Slate 8 is different from the HP Slate 8 Pro introduced back in April. The naming convention can be too confusing but HP is serious with the name. So serious because the two are part of the business tablet family. They are high-end tablets made possible by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, unknown front and rear cameras, microSD card slots, and front-facing stereo speakers. Out of the box, the HP tablets will run Android 4.4 KitKat. (Sorry, no Lollipop yet.)
You can use an HP Duet pen with the two models. The type of the stylus is not clear but this could be the same ultrasound pen for Qualcomm. Inside each tablet, you will find HDMI support, micro USB 2.0 port, SlimPort adapter, and an audio jack. There’s a mobile data option for the tablets made possible with a nanoSIM card.
So far, we only know of a few differences between the two: screen size and storage capacity. The HP Pro Slate 8 comes with 16GB of built-in storage and a 7.7-inch display. Meanwhile, the HP Pro Slate 10 features a 12.3-inch screen, 37 Wh battery, and 32GB of storage.
