HP’s latest business tablet features an 8 inch (2048 x 1536 pixel) display and an Intel Atom x5-8500 Cherry Trail processor. It also supports up to 4GB of RAM and 128 GB of EMMC storage. It’s called the HP Pro Tablet 608 G1, and it’ll be available in the US starting in July for $479 and up.
The slate will initially be shipped with Windows 8.1; however, it will get a free upgrade to Windows 10, and HP will sell the tablet with Windows 10 pre-installed starting in August.
HP Pro Tablet 608 G1 comes with 2GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, but HP also offers 64 GB and 128 GB models. Select models will also be available with 4GB of RAM. The company is also providing a free 1-year subscription to Office 365.
The device includes stereo front-facing speakers, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, optional 3G and 4G modules, a microSDXC card slot, a USB-C connector (for charging and/or connecting peripherals, an 8MP rear camera, a 2MP front camera, and a sturdy case with plastic and metal elements.
The Pro Tablet 608 G1 also comes with an active digitizer and works with an optional Atmel digital pen, sold separately. It enables pressure-sensitive input for writing or drawing and lets you hover over the screen as if you were using a mouse. That makes it easier to interact with desktop-style apps when using the HP Pro 608 as a tablet.
There’s also an optional keyboard case. And if you want to treat it like a desktop, there’s a travel dock with HDMI, Ethernet, and full-sized USB ports.
The tablet measures 8.1″ x 5.4″ x 0.33″ and weighs about 0.8 pounds.
