We expected a bit more from HP's tablet given its 469 price tag. You can find other tablets that are faster for less, or one that's bigger and more powerful for around the same price. That said, HP's tablet will let you game a bit without throwing up the white flag. It's clearly not targeted as a gaming tablet, but that's pretty obvious from its enterprise-focused features and its accessory pen.

If you really like the idea of capturing strokes that you write on real paper, the HP Pro Slate 8 is worth considering, but $449 is a lot to spend on an 8-inch Android tablet. For $100 less, the Dell Venue 8 7000 has a sharper and more colorful screen, a more attractive design, faster performance and better cameras, along with some of its own IT management options.

The HP is good in many areas, but it can't compete with its biggest rivals when it comes to battery life, performance, screen quality and business features. Its all-round strength certainly makes it a contender, but the Dell and Apple offerings are better.

The HP Pro Slate 8 is a very good Android mini tablet. Although its stylus-related features aren’t quite good enough to justify its price premium over the superb Apple iPad Mini 2, it’s still an excellent choice - especially if you need to deploy in-house apps that take advantage of Android’s relative flexibility over iOS.

Comment

Model: The HP Pro Slate 8 is not just your typical tablet as it boasts functionality that enhances business usage. The device is placed under durability tests and implements data protection through the HP Touchpoint Manager, which provides business-class hardware security. The HP Pro Slate 8 comes with a 4:3 aspect ratio; delivering a more natural reading position. Outward appearance is kept classy with a black bezel around the screen, curved edges and a simplistic grey rear cover. The device comes with a high-fidelity HP Duet Pen further expanding the handwritten feature.

There is a 7.9 inch FHD QXGA display panel protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Colors and clarity are top notch even in bright environments. Image capture on the HP Pro Slate 8 comes in the form of an 8 MP rear-facing camera and a 2 MP FHD front-facing shooter. The 350 g tablet is also equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, 2 GB LPDDR3-1600 SDRAM and either 16 GB or 32GB internal storage. Other capabilities include microSD support, ZIF connector with pogo pins, microUSB 2.0, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. Battery life on the HP Pro Slate 8 is excellent with up to 13 hours of run time provided by the 21 Wh Li-Ion Polymer cell.

Qualcomm Adreno 330: Integrated graphics card in some Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs, supports OpenGL ES 3.0

800 MSM8974:

High-end ARM SoC with 4 CPU cores up to 2.3 GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU up to 450 MHz. Based on Qualcomm's Krait 400 architecture and is manufactured in a 28nm HPM process.

7.90":

This display format is in the mid-range for smartphones. It offers a compromise between good visibility, details and resolution on the screen, and you can still fit it into trouser pockets.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.

73.4%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
