HP recently dropped the price for both of the Slate 7 devices in the Android-powered Slate lineup, bringing the total prices to a low $140 for the 8GB model and $170 for the 16GB variant. $30 across the board. Whether this move is to spark some movement in inventory or to make room on something else, it’s a buyer’s market out there in terms of tablet.
The Slate 7 devices come shipped with Android 4.1, are powered by a 1.6GHz dual-core processor, sport a 7″ 1024 x 600 display (unfortunate) and host 1GB of RAM. They are weak in terms of specs, but with that price point, it is what it is.

It’s not the price of the tablet, it’s the lack of tablets-specific apps for Android. Or at least a lack of a category for them in Google Play.
It’s not reasonable of me to compare this to unavailable products, but I can’t help but pass on this in favor of the upcoming Asus Memo HD 7
Sexy Nexus Seven Still Winning!
There really aren’t any Android tablets worth buying.
Nexus 7 has been a good buy since it launched….
Nice try, HP. Still no.
Definately not it is what it is, should be $79 and $99
I still wouldn’t touch one, even with your [censored]. My mom got one and I had to issue a reprimand.
I’d much rather pay another $30 and get a Nexus 7.
Its worse than what it is
Sadly the recent OM Nook deals outshine these by a pretty wide margin.
Have you used both side by side? The Nook is significantly worse.
I will shortly. I meant to rephrase it as Nook HD+ and Carbon Rom, not the BN software.
