The Slate 8 Plus will reportedly feature an 8- inch IPS display with a 1280 x 800 pixel resolution. Although it certainly won’t be full HD, that’s to be expected with a low-cost device. The small tablet will be powered by a a 1.6GHz Hisilicon Kirin 910 quad-core processor and include 1GB of RAM. HP is expected to offer just 16GB of storage on the tablet, but it will most likely come with a MicroSD card reader for added space.

As far as connectivity goes, HP gave the Slate 8 Plus Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, and the ability to support 3G data on some models. Overall, it looks a lot like the Huawei MediaPad M1 and it even has an aluminum housing. HP is expected to sell the Slate 8 Plus for around 300 Euros in Europe once it launches in the next few weeks.

Lenovo is adding a new Android tablet to its tablet portfolio, and this one is targeted at content consumption and classrooms. Dubbed the "Tab M11" and announced at CES 2024, the midrange tablet features an 11-inch screen with a Full HD resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels). Notably, Lenovo has put a 90Hz refresh rate screen on its budget tablet, which is a neat addition given its appeal as a reading and scribbling device.

The company is offering the Tab M11 in a trio of configurations, and once again, they play to the core use-case scenario for each buyer. The base variant combines 4GB of RAM with either 64GB or 128GB of onboard storage, which is not too shabby if you are predominantly into streaming videos.
