HP replaces the Slate 500 with the Slate 2, adds Swype and cuts the starting price to $699
Thursday, November 3, 2011
Until Microsoft gives Win8 the final seal of approval, the Windows tablet show must go on, right? Right. HP just refreshed its enterprise-friendly, Windows
7-flavored Slate 500 with the Slate 2, and took the opportunity to
knock the starting price down a hundred bucks to $699. In terms of
design, there's nothing much to see here — it's the same 8.9-inch tablet
that's been on sale for the past year. Only this time, HP added
Swype, refreshed the CPU with Intel's Atom Z670 and proffered a smaller
32GB SSD option to appease the IT guys who are going to heavily lock
these down anyway. Speaking of security, it also packs TPM circuitry and
Computrace Pro for tracking lost or stolen laptops
and then deleting the data remotely. It'll be available worldwide this
month — just in time for corporate to buy you a lil' somethin' somethin'
for the holidays.
