HP Slate 2 Windows 7 Tablet für 699$ angekündigt [Bilder]
Vor fast genau einem Jahr brachte HP das HP Slate 500 raus, das ursprünglich eine große Konkurrenz zum iPad werden sollte, dann aber doch nur für Geschäftskunden gedacht war – also hauptsächlich für große Firmen, die ihre Mitarbeiter mit Windows 7 Tablets ausstatten wollten. Nun hat HP in einer Pressemitteilung den Nachfolger angekündigt. Das HP Slate 2 sieht noch so aus wie das Slate 500 und kommt auch mit dem gleichen 8,9 Zoll Display, aber als Prozessor wird nun der neue Intel Atom Z670 eingesetzt. Außerdem wurde Swype hinzugefügt, neue Security Software und optional gibt es mit 32GB auch eine kleinere SSD. Wie schon beim Vorgänger, kommt auch das HP Slate 2 mit einem aktiven Digitizer und einem Stylus. Noch ist Windows 7 vorinstalliert, aber Windows 8 müsste ohne Probleme laufen – ein kostenloses Update wird es aber sicherlich nicht geben. Das HP Slate 2 soll noch in diesem Monat weltweit erscheinen und in der günstigsten Variante 699 US Dollar kosten.
