HP Releases New Video of Their “iPad-Killer” Tablet

By

Apple may have taken the early lead in the burgeoning tablet market, but HP is determined not to surrender without a fight. Today this video hit the internet of their new PC tablet, The Slate, and it not surprisingly seems to focus on the things the iPad does not have, most apparently, a camera.

Last month, HP released a video focusing on the inclusion of Flash, something noticeably lacking from both the iPad and iPhone (for the moment). But with 300,000 iPads sold on day one, Apple has already taken a commanding lead.

The Windows 7 compatible tablet computer was announced in January at CES 2010 before the iPad. HP has yet to confirm release date or price, but Spanish technology website, Clipnet.net, is claiming that the device will ship in June.

Whenever you see a discount for the latest model of an Apple device, you have to take advantage of the offer right away as it likely won't last long.

Its 256GB model, usually sold for $1,299, is down to $1,099 for savings of $200, but stocks are probably already flying off the shelves.

How a $30 accessory made my iPad Air perfect for travel and streaming
Rolling Square Edge Pro Core attached to iPad Air 2025.

I have an iPad Mini and a 13-inch iPad Air (2025), which reside in a folio case and a Magic Keyboard, respectively. While the iPad Mini is my favorite, most portable tablet, the Magic Keyboard + iPad Air combo makes the bigger device too heavy for tasks like video consumption and using it as a second screen, which covers more than 50% of my use case. I could swap the Magic Keyboard for a folio case to save weight, but that limits me to a single viewing angle and I lose a physical keyboard.

That’s why I added the $30 Rolling Square Edge Pro Core to my iPad Air. It has made my big tablet more portable and user-friendly without forcing me to sacrifice flexibility. My use case differs from the one advertised, but here’s how I use two of these simple accessories to get more out of my 13-inch iPad Air.

My main computer is an M4 iPad Pro, but a 2021 iPad still surprises me
Rear shell of 2021 iPad Pro.

This might sound controversially ridiculous, but for the past few years, my primary computer has been an iPad Pro. I first got interested in pushing tablets this way when the M1 version came out, and I’ve kept using them all the way up to the newest M4-powered model. 

A few weeks ago, I went back to my M1 iPad Pro to see how well it handles next-gen apps that are pushing the boundaries of graphics and AI on a mobile device. So, the big question is whether the four-year-old slate can still serve as a reliable workhorse in 2025?
