Some time ago we started hearing rumors about a giant tablet that HP was preparing. There was talk of a size of approximately 16 inches. Finally this device was announced a few days ago with a screen of 17,3 inches under the name Slate 17. It is a new All in One concept that is increasingly represented, as it has a wide range of possibilities. Android, so it will be a good touchstone for Google's platform as a home computer operating system.
When we think of a tablet, sizes of 7, 8, 10 even 12 inches automatically come to mind. Until recently, it was hard to imagine devices with this denomination above 10, but there are teams like the Surface Pro 3. Now, it's hard to imagine that tablets considered "giants", of 15, 16 or 17 inches They can gain a foothold in the market, but the truth is that more and more brands are betting on this idea.
The latest to join has been HP, which recently introduced the Slate 17. Manufacturers often sell them as All in One or all in one, but the truth is that they are large tablets, very versatile, with very varied uses thanks to the use of supports. We can use this device as a tablet, although its difficult transport restricts its use practically to the home, but also as primary or secondary monitor on our work table or to play multimedia content on a larger screen than usual, hence the supports allow different positions.
The exact size of the HP Slate 17 is 17,3 inches, and it has resolution Full HD (1.920 x 1.080 pixels). The format has a 16: 9 ratio and allows up to 10 touch points. Moving this monster should not be easy, the company has entrusted this task to the processor Intel Celeron N2807 dual-core operating at speeds of up to 2,16 GHz. It is supported by a memory 2 GB RAM and 32 GB of internal memory that can be expanded using microSD cards.
An important issue such as the battery, guarantees almost 8 hours of autonomy, and in terms of connectivity we find Gigabit WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0 and a HDMI port. It includes integrated Beats Audio speakers, which will improve the multimedia experience, a camera for video calls on the front and as we mentioned it uses Android, in its version 4.4.2 Kit Kat. It is 16 millimeters thick and weighs 2,44 kg, so it could be a great option for those looking for a monitor at home, which can also be used for something else.
