If nothing else, HP's second strive at AN mechanical man pill could be a bit brighter than its 1st. The SlateBook x2 features a ten.1-inch, 1,920x1,200 resolution screen and ships with mechanical man four.2.2. it'll be one among the primary tablets to deal with Nvidia's Tegra four processor once it debuts in August for $480.
Design-wise, the SlateBook x2 appearance not not like HP's Windows eight pill, the Envy x2, with power and volume buttons placed on the rear, close to the left and right edges. However, rather than brushed Al, the SlateBook options a plastic chassis.

Like lots of Windows eight tablets, the SlateBook x2 includes a life-sized keyboard dock and bit pad. The keyboard options a full HDMI port, USB 2.0, an SD slot, ANd an audio port. The dock also will house an additional battery additionally to the one already enclosed within the slate.
On the slate aspect, hunt for a front-facing HD camera and a rear-facing 2-megapixel camera. Storage capability tips the scales at 64GB with a microSD slot enclosed for growth. The slate’s speakers can support DTS+ sound.
First thoughts

The SlateBook x2 seems to supply plenty for that worth, however it’s continually those very little intangibles that spell the distinction between smart and nice tablets. Hopefully, I’ll have an opportunity fairly before long to see simply wherever the SlateBook x2 lands in this regard.
