Even though the trajectory of HP has always been closely linked to the operating system of Microsoft, the company has been taking a notable turn in its policy in recent times, and has even launched the first Chromebook. His next step, according to the report that has gone through several specialized media, is the manufacture of a tablet Android what will mount the processor Integra 4 de Nvidia, recently presented.
HP you've had a couple of attempts in the tablet industry before. The first one, many will remember, was Touchpad, a device that ran the company's own operating system, and that even became popular with a small but active community of users. Nevertheless HP It "killed" the project about a year after starting it. The second attempt of the Palo Alto signature was its range 'Elite', two tablets (one yet to come) with Windows, very oriented to professional use, but overpriced, as the market is doing.
The third attempt may be the charm, and it is that different specialized media speak of some reports where it is ensured that HP prepare a tablet Android with the processor Integra 4. This device, it seems, will not be pre-announced at the MWC in Barcelona, but will be kept secret until the moment of seeing the light. There is not much more information about it either, except that, in addition, Hewlett-Packard could also launch a mobile with the system of Google.
The news takes us by surprise (relatively) for two reasons, the first is that so far few manufacturers were betting on the new generation of the processor Nvidia, and it seemed that Qualcomm he took the cat to the water almost always. Single Vice, and Toshiba (as other SmartZona media comment) had been interested in the Integra 4. The second is that HP has long been one of the most loyal manufacturers to Microsoft, but the launch of his first ChromebookPerhaps it was a first fracture in this alliance.
Probably everything we are going to know about this team is a leak until its launch. However, we will remain vigilant before any news.
