HP Pro Slate 12 Review

Lisa Gade reviews the HP Pro Slate 12, a 12.3” Android tablet that comes with the HP Duet Pen, an active pen with ultrasound for transmission so you can write directly on the tablet or on a pad of paper. And yes, it really works well! The tablet has a 1600 x 1200, 4:3 aspect ratio display and it runs Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on the 2.3 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 with Adreno 330 graphics. It has 2 gigs of RAM, 32 gigs of storage and a microSD card slot. The tablet weighs 1.87 lbs. and has front-facing stereo speakers with DTS audio, a 2MP front camera and rear 8MP camera. It has dual band WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.0 LE and NFC. It sells for $550 and for those who want a smaller version, there’s the HP Pro Slate 8. HP also sells a dock, a folio cover with slot for a pad of paper and a keyboard for the Slate 12.
