HP has officially announces Android-Powered SlateBook 14 Laptop and will be available on August 6 for a mere $399. It has a 14-inch touchscreen and combines the familiar interface of Android on mobile devices, with the productivity of a notebook PC, in a breakthrough design.
Like one’s typical smartphone Android experience, the HP Slatebook 14 will use a full touchscreen for its 14-inch display —have fun poking and prodding at your PC with Hi-Capacity HP 593554-001 long life battery in order to activate various parts of Android. It also comes with a typical trackpad, for those more used to a conventional PC experience.
HP Slatebook specs include the laptop’s overall size: Approximately 16 millimeters thick and weighing just around 3.75 pounds. It ships with 64 gigabytes of onboard storage and comes with a microSIM card slot for those looking to add a little more. Two gigabytes of memory will join an Nvidia Tegra 4 processor — the highlight of the laptop’s guts — to allow it to display 4K video should one desire. Total laptop battery life is estimated to be around 9.25 hours or so.
Both Chromebooks and the SlateBook PC are meant for those who do most of their computing on the Internet, but there are differences, Nash said. Using a browser on the Android laptop isn’t as good as on Chromebooks, which are more like desktops in that regard. Connection-wise, the laptop will come with two USB ports in addition to a single HDMI port.
The SlateBook also offers full access to the Google Play Store, with access to all your downloaded apps. Beyond the user interface, the Android laptop will run applications such as Skype that are not yet supported on Chromebooks. Android also boasts better printer support than the Chrome OS.
