I want to use this for buisness meetings thar are videorecorded. Is it possible to have the rear camera running while at the same time using word to type?
is there a software that does this. That puts the window for videorecording in the tray or something?
Why do people compare this with the ipad? They are both totally different products. This runs a full version of windows which the ipad will never be able to do. Heck they don't even allow flash on there devices. This is more for the business people who have software that's specially built for PCs so it makes sense to have one of these.
@CliftonPhotographer well...they had this article on CNN where this restaurant owner in ATL has started to use ipads for their menu and to get orders..
@smartdon007 Hmm How the restaurant use of the ipad lame ? Just curious; I belive you have the correct thinking idea here. As a eating customer;I have notice some of my favorite eating places here in DC raise there menu prices EVERY time the equipment is upgraded; Example a a Giant Food grocery store , near my work place, now digital scales with menu screens AND advertising for the produce section
1GHz dual-core Apple A5 custom-designed, high-performance, low-power system-on-a-chip
Back camera: Video recording, HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio; still camera with 5x digital zoom.
Front camera: Video recording, VGA up to 30 frames per second with audio; VGA-quality still camera
Aside from that, the HP Slate seems better, since the iPad 2 runs a mobile OS... even though the iPad 2 has an HD camera... it still lacks the OS I want, which is a desktop OS.
@jonnyrowntree Like the guy in the top comment said, an x-ray has a resolution of 120000x8000 pixels, thats like 10 - 15 times larger than a regular picture, so resizing that means you need alot of power from the CPU. That takes time my friend.
@besie0 wouldn't it make sense for it not to be featured in an ER dept and maybe a family home or outside somewhere with an average photo displayed on the device?
@jonnyrowntree the video title clearly says for bussiness. Why show a family or outside somewhere when this commercial is completely bussiness orientated?
This tablet is not for media stuff, as HP is advertising it is for BUSINESS clients, not every day consumers. It was built for POS, viewing PDFs, and what I will be using it for, showing clients past products and quick books POS software, and controlling things music and lights around the store. I for one am excited about this product...
I got mine middle of Mar. Since then back cover warped. I also had a problem when the battery had died while in suspend/hibernate. The Windows OS said to hit F11 or something like that to resume startup or boot fresh and loose your data. The screen did not recognize any inputs. I finally held the power btn down to reboot it. The last straw was 2 days ago. Playing with the camera and folded the cover down thinking it would hibernate/sleep. It didn't. Got pretty hot after about 1 hour. Returning.
Looks great but, if something goes wrong your screwed by HP service. If you own a hp laptop and have had problems you know what i mean. You end up talking to a tech in India or the Phillipeans and paying them for something they can't help you with. In one case we had to pay HP 85.00 for their comment , "Sorry we can't help solve this problem. You will have to take your computer to a computer specialist". Forget about getting your money back because you clicked the "I Agree Button" to be able to
who knows about the digitizer on this? Is it pressure sensitive? Does the pen require a battery? is the touch screen resistive of capacitive? I would use it first and foremost for Onenote with the pen, so active digitizer is a must...
wow! I see so many negative comments here and yet I am so excited that p.c.s have come so far. I love it, love it, love it. Windows tablets do everything a tablet should do and more. It simply does everything you need.
However ... if you have a problem using windows O.S. then obviously this is not the device for you... warning this is not a phone O.S. There are ports, cardreaders and more here, if this is too much 4 u ... there are other options.
It's a piece of junk, I got mine yesterday, set it up. This morning it would not come up, Windows is asking me if I want to restore to a previous state. The problem is the keyboard is non-responsive, neither pushing the keyboard button nor trying to use the touch screen work, the touch screen is also non response. I called HP and their tech support does not even know what this product is, they told me that "because it is a new product we are still learning to use it" a call back was promised.
@hpcomputers I think you guys have a really good product here. But you should really expand your marketing, to make the Slate better known. People only think of the iPad when it comes to tablets. If you invest on larger marketing, this could have good sales.
And also: when will it be available for purchase? Is HP.com still the only place to buy it? I'm looking forward to having one of these. A lot.
@texmexman From what I gathered from other videos, the Slate is a lot less business-y than this video might make you think. But that's because it's marketed towards business users, I think. It's a regular Windows 7 system, with all of W7's features and programs, from what I've understood.
Personally, I'd go with this. I'd really like to have an iPad, but if I had to pick one, it would be the Slate. Too bad this thing is only available at HP's website. Sucks, doesn't it? ¬¬
HP should make this device available at Amazon, BestBuy, and every other retailer, right now, the business only distribution channel model, is creating a black market just for this device, you can only get it at ebay or HP, i think HP knows the potential of this device, and it will or could compromise the WebOS based tablet
The only reason why windows dominate the software market is not because of a quality product, but a good business and marketing system... Bill Gates was only concerned with market domination... he didn't care about the product, whereas Apple was more concerned about building a quality product that actually works.
Its the same with McDonalds... can you make a better hamburger than mcdonald? Unless you're a retard, most people can. But let me ask you this: How come you're not a multi-billionaire?
BTW, I know this cause I've got a HP Touchsmart tm2 which runs the same crap win7 interface. I almost litterally chucked the damn thing in the bin... but I realise it wasn't HP's fault.
And don't think that microsoft is going to change windows anytime soon... its been almost 20 years or so since win95, and win7 is just a really really really good version of win95, which is still a piece of crap (WHY ARE THERE STILL VIRUSES YOU RETARDS?)
... microsoft might as well did what hitler did and murdered a sh*tload of innocent people)

F*CK YOU FOREVER MICROSOFT
... and if you rest your hand on the screen it will register and you'll end up clicking on sh*t you didn't want to... making you lose focus, lose productivity, lose time, lose money, and waste another few minutes of your life dealing with PoC Microsoft. (btw, if you tally up the amount of time lost worldwide due to frustration, data loss, programs not working properly, missing plugins and dlls, crashes, viruses and everything else caused by microsoft...
* Forget about using your fingers because the onscreen keyboard is hard to see. You'd need pinpoint accuracy because Piece of Crap windows designed by morons will basically convert you finger to a mouse cursor, so it'll probably take like 2-3 times to press the damn close button.

HAHAHA... did you see the incredible amount of LAG when the doctor was pinch zooming? How embarassing... This is going to be an absolute disaster and you can blame Microsoft and their half arsed windows 7 crapware.
I'll give you dot points on the flaws of why this would be almost useless (thanks to microsoft, not HP)
* Realistic battery life would be like maybe 3 hours max normal usage cause windows is inefficient piece of crap...
Wow. Amazing. Just make sure you keep up with your Windows 7 updates. Also make sure your anti virus software has the most recent definitions along with your malware detection application. Oh, and just to keep things running smoothly, run a registry cleaner every once in a while or you will see a noticeable reduction in performance. Other than that, yes, Windows 7 will make an excellent tablet OS.
the iPad is fun and cool looking, but this does look far more useful for someone who is looking for a real replacement for their laptop.
Btw, anybody know if you can get any kind of software on this device? For example, there is a program I use in college (and will likely use in my career) that is installed with a disc. Could I get this program onto this tablet or not?
iPad = oversized iPod = $500 - $800. Apple scammed a lot of "idiots" of off their money. Hp Slate on the other hand is the real deal. Thumbs up if you agree.
the ipad can't do half of the things that's right but to be true windows tablet is not as good as android or ios because it's not really good using it feels a bit weird. hope the cost is no more than $600 because it can't fully replace a notebook or a desktop
What kind of games could this run? Is it able to run a downloadable one like Minecraft? Do certain operating systems run smoother on it? These are my questions.
@lmaballa ipad sucks d#### so get over it!!!!! no one cares about ipad the new upcoming tablets are the important so stop thinking about sucky technology and go with the flow to this video why watch it if you dont like it
@lmaballa What a noob. On every touchscreen enabled Windows Computer you use it will lag like that. That's just how Windows is optimized for touchscreen devices.
@akurohunter At least everyone that buys i(products) knows how to use and type full words. The crap non-i(products) you use are so clunky and difficult to use, it must b y u need 2 type like this. ;-) And what's with the grammar, too? You can't even type in coherent sentences..... and you're criticizing? Get a life....and maybe grow a brain cell or two, you lazy ignorant troll.
@Gregz0r1 : I would say because it runs the same OS as the computer you use everyday at work (Windows) and it actually works (Motorola just showed a video at CES because it wasn't ready for a proper demo, although this may be due to Android 3 rather than the hardware) and is available now (which the Xoom isn't yet)...
Just returned mine today.. after a week of usage.. lack of power unresponsive touch screen choppy camera .. may be a case of bad hardware.. I will just have to wait for next round
bought an ipad for christmas, and i havent touched my laptop since starting my holiday. However, the short comings of the device are slowly coming to light in terms now that im about to head to back to work and I have to start doing some real with the computer.
a gazillion apps in the marketplace, and i cant find anything moderately serious for 3D, graphics, audio and word processing...oh well...theres always ebay when a good windows tablet finally comes out.
Did you know that , even HP slate is way better than ipad, Filipinos still use ipad, it is because ipad is more popular than hp slate here in Philippines
and i hate ipad, i wish hp company should expound there marketing...
I spent a fortune on an hp pavilion dv9700 and it fried itself a few months after the 1 yr. warranty expired. The service center said this happens with all hp dv's.. ..so what does hp do about it? Nothing. Do not buy hp! unless you want to get screwed.
HP is known for innovation and technology,ipad is a snail compared to the processing power the Hp Slate has,as well as more accessories that are included and not sold seperately like all apple products,it cost an arm and a leg to accesorize any apple product,hp will make a dent in that oversized ipod touch
It is horrible that you have to use a bloody stylus. And also that it uses normal Windows 7 without any good touch screen enhancement. I think this is just a portable HP Touchsmart: something intelligent but really bad executed. I think that Apple's iPad is the best tablet there can be in the market right now. HP has got a very good idea, an iPad-killing idea but it stays there: an idea. Let's wait what iPad 2 will bring so HP decides what things need to do better and really invest in that.
The only thing this device doesnt have that I would consider a real necessity is 3G/4G connection. Personally its what would keep me from consider buying it. Maybe their next gen slate will have it. It is a slick looking device though.
Yeah, so how does that work? Use a USB dongle from some 3G/4G company that lets you connect to the Internet via their service? I'm not familiar with those kind of products and services. Having 3G/4G built into the tablet would make things much more simpler to use.
@Skott62 The dongle would work as a reciver so you can connect to the 3G/4G network. But given how much the the slate costs it seems abit stupid that it doesn't have it built in. That said it is worse that the iPad costs what it does and doesn't have a webcam, a mic. a usb or card reader.
About a week ago I was watching CNBC and one of their guests was saying to expect a lot more tablets to hit the market in 2011 and many of them will have 3G/4G built into them. As much as I would like one now I guess I'll wait and see what comes out. Thanks for the replies and info. :-)
It runs Windows 7. What good is that windows. HP just mimic the ipad. The ipad has tons of apps. HP is horrible in touch screen. Why do they need a mouse pointer if you can tap on something than swiping your finger to tap on something using a mouse. BUY THE iPAD. Steve Jobs is smarte THAN Steve Balmer. PERIOD
what the iPad SHOULD have been, but isnt, and knowing apple, it will take them 2 more ipad generations to get the features this thing has, but by them, tablet PC's will be running 2 GHZ dual core processors and apple will have a 1.5 ghz single core
its a laptop... just without the keyboard. its like a very large windows phone or PDA. but how do you install windows 7 without a CD player? and does it have a forward facing camera?
can you reinstall the os with a clean install and dose it have a type of biso. can it all so boot from a usb device this will work handy i am a it pro at my bunisses and want to maybe incorport in the office
Tablets should not be installed with Microsoft Windows. They already tried that back in the early 2000s and it failed because Windows was meant to be used with a mouse.
I don't know why some of you want to buy this tablet to do document editing. Why not just carry around a netbook? The HP slate is just a netbook without a keyboard yet priced at an outrageous $799.
@ronmexico27 windows 7 is native multitouch compatible, things change =] but yah the tablet pc is no new concept, apple is just good at hyping things up.

i heard this from newpapers 2day and i was excited
one of the bad things i didnt like was
1) why is it so laggy when the doctor tries to zoom the x ray hand ?
2) why vga cam? sad T_T
3) the user seems to press so hard on the screen and when using microsoft words it seem that its slow and unresponsive
but 2 things i that catched me
1) USB and SD slot....omg...i so need that on a tablet ...must have !!!!
2) running on windows 7 =D....thats my style

Wow. Amazing. Just make sure you keep up with your Windows 7 updates. Also make sure your anti virus software has the most recent definitions along with your malware detection application. Oh, and just to keep things running smoothly, run a registry cleaner every once in a while or you will see a noticeable reduction in performance. Other than that, yes, Windows 7 will make an excellent tablet OS.

the iPad is fun and cool looking, but this does look far more useful for someone who is looking for a real replacement for their laptop.
Btw, anybody know if you can get any kind of software on this device? For example, there is a program I use in college (and will likely use in my career) that is installed with a disc. Could I get this program onto this tablet or not?

HP slate... real deal for a whole $799... and only 5 hrs of battery life
I love people that say they need true multi-tasking. Useless with a screen size that small. All you need in minimal background tasking.

iPad = oversized iPod = $500 - $800. Apple scammed a lot of "idiots" of off their money. Hp Slate on the other hand is the real deal. Thumbs up if you agree.

the ipad can't do half of the things that's right but to be true windows tablet is not as good as android or ios because it's not really good using it feels a bit weird. hope the cost is no more than $600 because it can't fully replace a notebook or a desktop

I think the Ipad & the HP Slate look great. I am committed to neither company, I choose on specs.
1. Webcam (Not an issue for ifans) I love to chat via Skype, Yahoo Messenger
2. Flash! I love it, I don't need a workaround app to view it. (All the problems you have with it have never been an issue here.
3. USB Ports for so many reasons
4. Built in card reader, how in the hell can this be a dissadvantage?
5. True multitask
If none of this interest you, then The Ipad is perfect!

Lol at that sluggish pinch to zoom on the x-ray. Even if you don't want an iPad, why get this, when you can soon get a Xoom or PlayBook?

@Gregz0r1 : I would say because it runs the same OS as the computer you use everyday at work (Windows) and it actually works (Motorola just showed a video at CES because it wasn't ready for a proper demo, although this may be due to Android 3 rather than the hardware) and is available now (which the Xoom isn't yet)...

bought an ipad for christmas, and i havent touched my laptop since starting my holiday. However, the short comings of the device are slowly coming to light in terms now that im about to head to back to work and I have to start doing some real with the computer.
a gazillion apps in the marketplace, and i cant find anything moderately serious for 3D, graphics, audio and word processing...oh well...theres always ebay when a good windows tablet finally comes out.

HP is known for innovation and technology,ipad is a snail compared to the processing power the Hp Slate has,as well as more accessories that are included and not sold seperately like all apple products,it cost an arm and a leg to accesorize any apple product,hp will make a dent in that oversized ipod touch
Randyaccess1 1 year ago
It is horrible that you have to use a bloody stylus. And also that it uses normal Windows 7 without any good touch screen enhancement. I think this is just a portable HP Touchsmart: something intelligent but really bad executed. I think that Apple's iPad is the best tablet there can be in the market right now. HP has got a very good idea, an iPad-killing idea but it stays there: an idea. Let's wait what iPad 2 will bring so HP decides what things need to do better and really invest in that.

The only thing this device doesnt have that I would consider a real necessity is 3G/4G connection. Personally its what would keep me from consider buying it. Maybe their next gen slate will have it. It is a slick looking device though.

@Skott62 You could just get a usb dongle for it.
jeremyIfisher 1 year ago
@jeremyIfisher
Yeah, so how does that work? Use a USB dongle from some 3G/4G company that lets you connect to the Internet via their service? I'm not familiar with those kind of products and services. Having 3G/4G built into the tablet would make things much more simpler to use.
Skott62 1 year ago
@Skott62 The dongle would work as a reciver so you can connect to the 3G/4G network. But given how much the the slate costs it seems abit stupid that it doesn't have it built in. That said it is worse that the iPad costs what it does and doesn't have a webcam, a mic. a usb or card reader.

@jeremyIfisher
About a week ago I was watching CNBC and one of their guests was saying to expect a lot more tablets to hit the market in 2011 and many of them will have 3G/4G built into them. As much as I would like one now I guess I'll wait and see what comes out. Thanks for the replies and info. :-)

It runs Windows 7. What good is that windows. HP just mimic the ipad. The ipad has tons of apps. HP is horrible in touch screen. Why do they need a mouse pointer if you can tap on something than swiping your finger to tap on something using a mouse. BUY THE iPAD. Steve Jobs is smarte THAN Steve Balmer. PERIOD

Tablets should not be installed with Microsoft Windows. They already tried that back in the early 2000s and it failed because Windows was meant to be used with a mouse.
I don't know why some of you want to buy this tablet to do document editing. Why not just carry around a netbook? The HP slate is just a netbook without a keyboard yet priced at an outrageous $799.
