SlateBook x2 review: HP takes on ASUS with a dockable Android tablet
Until now,
ASUS hasn't had much competition in dockable Android tablets. Sure, we've seen
the odd model from Lenovo and other companies, but for the most part,
"Transformer" has become one of those words like "Kleenex"
-- you know, the kind that refers just as much to a category as a specific
brand. Nonetheless, HP is throwing its hat in the ring. The
SlateBook x2, only the company's second Android tablet, is a 10-inch slate that
competes on price as much as performance. For $480, the keyboard dock comes
included, and the tablet itself boasts some top-notch specs, including a 1,920
x 1,080 screen and a Tegra 4 processor. And, of course, in addition to being a
keyboard, that dock has a built-in battery of its own, promising to extend the
total runtime to up to 12.5 hours. So is it good enough that you'll remember
not to call it a Transformer?
