HP Slate 7 Android tablet released for $169.99
The competition in low cost 7″ tablet market is certainly heating up. HP Slate 7 was first announced in last week of February and last week, HP has announced the retail availability of Slate 7 tablet for an amazing price of $169.99. This puts the tablet right in ‘line of Fire’. On specification side, the tablet is absolutely decent and can be considered as an absolute VFM. Slate 7 is powered by a dual core ARM A9 processor and runs 4.1 version of Android, display has a resolution of 1024×600 which, in our opinion can be the Achilles heel.

- 7″ 1024 x 600 resolution display
