hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today I'm here with a video on the HP Slate now we've been listening and hearing a lot about HP slate in the past few months but recently a lot of new information has come forward including basically full specs and a lot of really good information so I'm go ahead and run you guys through everything we know and just be honest the HP slate is looking really really solid so anyway let's get this one started okay guys so to begin with let's just go ahead and give you guys a brief overview of what the HP Slate is all about now a few months back they showed off the HP Slate which is very much going to be a competitor to the iPad the Jinju and quite a few other of the recent tablets that have been coming out no the main thing that says the HP Slate apart from the rest is the fact that it runs full Windows 7 home premium now this is a big deal I think because it allows you to have full control over all that occasions you run of course you can run I mean like Photoshop video editors obviously flash you can run any browser it's a really really cool thing and of course the HP Slate it's not going to be perfect because of Windows 7 because on the downside it's not a OS that's made for your fingers make you know for a mouse and keyboard but they're going there it's not going to be stock of Windows 7 there they're going to put a little bit of a skin over I suppose to help it be more finger friendly but recently a bunch of specs and a lot of more informations come out over so I'm go ahead and run you guys through some of what we know and what it looks really good so excuse me I've got my computer here I'm going to read out some of the specs it's going to have an 8.9 inch display which is a bit smaller than the nine point seven inch display on the iPad it's also going to be a bit small resolution 1024 by 600 compared to 1024 by 768 you know it's not that big a deal person I actually kind of like the fact that it has a smaller screen just because the iPad seems like it's going to be a pretty decent size but I think it's going to be a lot better to have a smaller tablet that's not going to be you know really large and everything seems to say that HP's like is going to be a good bit smaller than the iPad so continuing on the processor is going to be a 1.6 gigahertz Intel Atom processor this is pretty good because while the iPad has a decent processor it's a 1 gigahertz PA semi processor which is basically just an upgraded version of the iPhone processor this really is going to unlock a lot more it's going to bring it more front light you know the power of an iPhone more like the power of like a netbook that's a big deal now there's a lot of other things such as graphic support they don't actually say for sure what kind of graphics say it has but weighs soon is probably going to be like just like a processor like the Broadcom HD processor because they basically just say that it has support for graphics up to 1080p that's pretty impressive the iPads it says on the thing it says 720 we might be able to get it might be able to get hacked with 1080 we don't really know but right out of the box it looks like the HP's lights definitely going to have a very large finish when it comes to graphics and video playback and speaking of graphics of course you know the iPad can run iPhone games and iPad games made specifically for it but one really cool thing I think is going to appeal to a good amount of people for HP Slate is the fact that they can run obviously computer games now it does not have a CD or DVD drive so you're going to have to download them but it should assuming that you know it's not like hurt in some way which I don't see why wouldn't it should be able to run some lower end games like a netbook could run for example world of warcraft would probably be able to be played on it as well as a vast majority you know any games I would say more than 2 maybe 3 years old should be able to be run on the HP sled no problem now of course how these games are going to run without a keyboard it's gonna be kind of hard to tell another important feature of the HP Slate is the fact that it has an SD card reader now this is this is an important feature I think because it allows you instead of you know with the iPad you definitely buy a 16 gigabyte model later on down the road you know oh wait I wanted to get a bigger one well you're right look you basically have to buy another iPad is you need more room well look this way you could buy the lower end HP Slate and then as you say hey I think I need a little bit more room just by a twenty thirty dollar SD card put it in there you're good to go and it supports SD to SDXC cards which is up to 128 gigabytes of memory although 128 year my car would probably cost more than HP slate itself but it's good that you can go ahead and do that another really nice feature is the fact that the price looks to be competitive with the iPad now if you don't know already the iPad has 16 that cluded we don't know the 3G but this is just for Wi-Fi only the iPad is for 16 gigabytes it is $4.99 for 32 gigabytes it's $5.99 and for 64 gigabytes is $6.99 well the HP Slate is a little bit different it's the base model is comes with 32 gigabytes of storage and it's going to be five hundred and forty nine dollars now that is $50 more expensive than the base iPad but if you compare if you wanted to get a 32 gigabyte model of the iPad you're actually saving keep developers that HP slate there's kind of a mix where the money really makes sense is if you want a 64 gigabyte HP Slate is that only runs you $600 whereas it's $700 on them for an iPad so that's just kind of something to consider now one not quite so a nice feature about the HP Slate is its battery life now everyone who is really really liked the iPad battery life the Apple says about 10 hours and quite a few people get more like 12 13 hours that's really really great battery life well with HP Slate really not quite so much even though technically on paper it has a bigger battery size it's got all the components everything take up a lot more power and as such they say that it's going to have about five hours of battery life now I don't think that's going to be a deal-breaker or anything five hours was still a decent amount of battery life especially for something that's a little bit more than a half an inch then but the fact that it's cut I mean practically less than half of the battery life of the iPad is something that kind of hurts definitely the last picture I've got to go over is the fact that it has two cameras we already knew this but now we have a little bit more detail so it does have two cameras it has one on the front just a VGA webcam very small it's going to be excellent for video chats I mean seriously I think this is going to be a huge deal I think it's going to be great extra have your slate and actually be looking at it and you actually be available to a video chat especially had like a 3d model where you can be video chatting anywhere it also has a 3 megapixel camera on the back of the device which is actually going to be well I'm not so sure how useful it's going to be I don't imagine you know you see something cool like you know your cell phone yet you can take a picture real quick I don't think I want pull out your tablet and take a picture but hey I mean it's included it's a pretty decent feature guys so that's all we know about the HP Slate so far to be honest I really really like it I love the idea that it's going to run full Windows 7 so I can use you know like Google Chrome and not really have to worry about Apple really you know restricting it I mean you know iPad once it's jailbroken is going to be great but you know the HP Slate is going to come you know full of customizable right out of the box and in addition they're going to have it's not really clear on how good it's going to be but they're going to have a full UI on top of it whether it might be just you know an app launcher or what but hopefully it should go in a ways into improving the HP Slate and actually allowing you to be really finger friendly now that said the price is going to be kind of a mixed bag you know if you just look at the the memory which is well where that makes a lot of money you can see that it's $50 more expensive but you're also getting a 32 gigabyte which is the same as the $50 more expensive version of the iPad so it's kind of going to be a bit of a wash I think but if you're just looking for especially like a 64 gigabyte it's really hard to you know ignore the iPad just because I mean it's going to be a lot more expensive and you're not going to have SD cards which could expand it farther so I don't know I just don't think that the memory is going to be a huge deal I think if you're gonna buy this you're gonna buy these because of what they do not how much they could store but it's definitely a pretty important factor anyway guys what do you think about these are you interested in the iPad it's just an HP Slate maybe both maybe neither definitely leave me in the comments I'm really interested to know what you guys are thinking personally I really like the HP Slate and I also like the iPad I don't know I'm just gonna have to wait and see before the HP Slate comes out but right now I think I'm probably a little bit more on the HP slate side of the fence but thank you who knows anyway guys thanks for watching
