HP ElitePad 900 review: HP’s first Windows 8 tablet for the business world
Author:
HP’s business PCs have always been surprisingly pretty. Not that good looks are high on our list of criteria, mind you, but at the very least they make a strong impression. Now that companies have gotten more comfortable with tablets (and Windows 8 in particular) HP is selling the ElitePad 900, its first Win 8 tablet built for the enterprise. Like all those EliteBook laptops that came before it, it has a metal chassis that’s not only sleek, but meets the military’s MIL-Spec standards too. Otherwise, it has everything you’d expect from a business tablet: support for pen input, mobile broadband and security features like TPM. It’s also being sold alongside various accessories, including some cases that add further functionality besides just protection from scratches. With a starting price of $ 699 for the 32GB model, though, it’s a little more expensive than its competitors. Does that mean it’s a little bit better too?

The $169 Android HP Slate 7 Is Simply HP’s Most current Beige Box, Only Flat
Author:
HP is late to the tablet game, but definitely not out. At $ 169, the HP Slate 7 is a sure thing. It ’ s a guaranteed win for HP even if it doesn ’ t outsell the competitors.
HP just revealed the Slate 7. There is absolutely nothing specifically special about it. It costs $ 169, has a dual-core 1.6 GHz SoC, and a 16 × 9 display with a rather thick plastic bezel. Simply put, it ’ s an inexpensive tablet. Remove the HP logo on the backside and it ’ s just a random, common tablet. Which ’ s fine.
At this point, HP as an established and relied on brand name, doesn ’ t need to innovate; they simply need to appear.
Regardless of its current problems, HP is still the largest personal computer maker on the planet. The business has actually held this title since 2006 after tracking Dell for 4 years. Lenovo may soon steal the title from HP, but that doesn ’ t diminish HP ’ s still-valuable brand. For a lot of customers, HP has, and will remain to be, a safe buy.
It ’ s not actually hyperbole to state everybody has actually had troubles with an HP computer system. As the top-selling pc maker collectively over the last 15 years, it has had a very long time to disenchant consumers. Everybody has an HP horror story. But regardless of this, the brand name still sells more Computers than any other. A great deal of people are still getting HP pcs.
Who is Asus to the typical Walmart consumer?
As a known brand name, consumers are mindful what they ’ re getting with an HP item. They know they ’ re going to get adware, sub-par hardware, but a fair rate. Exactly what will they get with an Asus tablet? Who is Asus to the ordinary Walmart buyer? An unknown.
Most of us understand the story. After years of little executive leadership, HP is going to pieces in the consumer market. COMPUTER sales are down. HP doesn ’ t have a mobile item. People are getting less printers. And, like Aol with dial-up subscriptions, a laughable piece of HP ’ s profits comes from printer ink.
Even worse yet, HP ’ s venture hardware and services company is down, too. Still, even with these declines, HP managed to beat Exchange ’ s expectations last quarter.
Simply put, the HP device is decreasing, however even a slowed HP is a significant contender.
HP is common. HP pcs are sold all over from Walmart to Best Buy to every office supply store known to man. HP became the biggest computer maker not because they made the very best pcs, however because of logistics.
Thanks to this huge distribution network, HP could get a $ 169 Android tablet in front of a lot of eyes with little effort. Then, once this tablet makes inroads, HP will likely follow its proven laptop computer strategy and launch an updated design with a much better display, much better specs and a somewhat higher cost. This model, or maybe household of models, would offer a simple up-sell from the Slate 7. Desired a much better display? Spend an added $ 30 and get a faster processor, too.
The HP Slate 7 is HP playing to its strengths. This is HP relocating units, not developing the next huge thing.
Tablets are rapidly becoming a product and selling beige boxes is what HP does finest. At this point a spending plan tablet is a budget tablet. Our very own Chris Velazco played with HP ’ s design for a few minutes and found it underwhelming. Well, yeah. It ’ s a $ 169 tablet. It ’ s not visiting thrill, but it doesn ’ t have to.
HP sat on the sidelines and viewed Amazon and Google ’ s pricey race to the bottom, which created this market of inexpensive tablets. HP has actually never been a premium product; it knows exactly how to sell considerable amounts of uninteresting equipments loaded with recruited software to keep the cost down. HP ’ s first attempt at a consumer tablet failed simply since it tried to be something special. It wasn ’ t a beige box. The HP Slate 7 shouldn ’ t fail.

HP’s head of PC ‘not a big fan’ of Windows RT, says Surface is slow and kludgey
Author: Mark Jeffries
Todd Bradley, HP’s head of PC, has spoken frankly about Microsoft’s Windows RT and Surface launches. In an interview with IDG Enterprise, Bradley reiterated comments HP made earlier this year, saying he’d “hardly call Surface competition,” before making some rather damning comments about Microsoft’s first ever tablet. “It tends to be slow and a little kludgey as you use it,” says Bradley, adding that “it’s expensive… the press has made a bigger deal out of Surface than what the world has chosen to believe.” Back in August, another HP exec said that Surface was Microsoft’s way of “making a leadership statement and showing what’s possible in the tablet space.”
Bradley cites the small retail launch — Surface is only available directly…

HP’s Todd Bradley dismisses post-PC era, says ‘people are trying to be dramatic’
Author: Matthew Baker
Todd Bradley is HP’s executive VP in charge of personal systems and printers. As such, it’s his job to be excited about the future of PCs, but he’s gone further in a recent interview with PC World in dismissing the claim that we’re living in a post-PC era as “just wrong.” Citing the broad need for computers in everything we do, Bradley argues that the global PC market remains as large and buoyant as ever. He does acknowledge the increasing importance of tablets, a market that HP aims to lead from the front the way it does with Windows PCs laptops and desktops today, but he’s ultimately unimpressed by the idea that portable devices are taking over from the more traditional machines.
Though these comments from Bradley convey a sense of…

HP’s Unreleased, All-Touch webOS Phone Detected In Video recording Teaser
Author: Alexander McQueen
I was always a sucker for Palm and HP’s little mobile operating system that couldn’t– for all its faults, webOS brought with it some functions that put it ahead of the curve. It’s kind of a shame then that many webOS phones tended to absorb regards to execution.
The original Pre was light and plasticky, the Pre 2 didn’t improve enough, the Pixi was underpowered, the Veer was strangely little, and the Pre 3 passed away prior to it ever before made it to our shores. There was one more webOS gadget that was wiped out before it ever before saw the light of day however, and a newly revealed video recording from design visualization firm Transparent Residence displays just what would certainly have been HP’s following smartphone.
The first thing you’ll see about the device in question (codenamed “WindsorNot”) is that it lacks the all-too-familiar QWERTY keyboard that had actually graced every some other webOS phone till then. It does not look completely unlike a Pre 3 that went on a diet, and the people at webOS Country peg its sizable screen at around 3.6 inches– rather generous taking into consideration Palm and HP’s track record.
Just what’s even more, the WindsorNot bears a striking resemblance to a keyboard-less webOS gadget called “ Stingray ” that appeared in the wild in April 2011. That original passed picture combined with the fact that marketing materials were already in the works suggests that the tool was likely really close to its launch prior to HP decided to “ terminate operations for webOS tools ” later that year. Interestingly enough, Transparent Home posted the online video nearly 9 months ago, well after HP put an end to the manufacturing of webOS hardware.
Unlike additional bits of webOS history like the 7-inch TouchPad, no Stringray/WindsorNot units have actually been seen out in the actual world after the business ’ s mobile hardware ambitions were scuttled. While the opportunities of an individual scrounging one up and posting a hands-on video recording aren ’ t zero, for now all we webOS supporters can do is watch this online video and think about what may have been.
Due to a request from Transparent House to remove copyright content we have had to remove the images and video. Sorry for those looking for them.

Visualized: HP’s all-in-one PCs over the years, one from 1983
Author: Eric Moss
HP’s TouchSmart sub-brand and its other AIOs should be no stranger to many PC advocates, but in case you’ve never come across one before, the company’s laid all of them out on one side of its Global Influencer Summit in Shanghai. Models range from the TouchSmart IQ770 launched back in 2007, all the way to the recently shipped Z1 workstation and even the just-announced t410 Smart Zero Client; but the real gem of the booth is that little beige HP 150 right in the middle — it’s one of the first-ever touchscreen PCs, dating back to 1983, powered by an 8MHz Intel 8088 chip, ran MS-DOS and cost a mere $ 3,995.
Whilst on the topic, HP’s Vice President of Industrial Design Stacy Wolff shared some interesting stats: his team found that much like laptops, there are very different screen size preferences across different regions, with the US showing strong interest in 20-inch and 23-inch HP AIOs, whereas China much prefers 20-inch over 21.5-inch and 23-inch. With the big jump in AIO market penetration in each region between 2008 to 2012 (almost doubled in Japan and the US; and an even bigger leap for other markets), HP predicts that these machines will continue to steadily increase market penetration across more price points — this was illustrated with what it conveniently calls the “AIO wedge” on a chart. Feel free to take a gander at our gallery for more tidbits.

Author: Brandon Zimmerman
HP just took the wraps off its new lineup of ultrabooks and AMD-powered “sleekbooks” last night, and there’s already a great deal to be had — a coupon code found on LogicBuy nets you $ 300 off HP’s latest Intel-powered laptops. That makes the 14-inch Envy 4 only $ 399.99, with the 15.6-inch model coming in at $ 499.99. The 14-inch model comes with 1.4GHz Core i3 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 500GB 5400RPM hard drive, and Windows 7, while the 15.6-inch model has the more powerful 1.6GHz Core i5 processor plus a 32GB mSATA SSD to help speed up operations. While there’s a few compromises in these machines (particularly the slower processors and 1366 x 768 screen resolution), saving $ 300 on a brand new laptop is nothing to scoff at. There’s also…

HP’s On-Screen Display Utility released, aims to alleviate Envy 15 screen color complaints
Author:
Back when we reviewed HP’s latest Envy 15, we found a glaring issue with its otherwise spectacular 1080p IPS display — namely, its less-than-pleasing color reproduction. Making good on a promise it made back in March, HP has finally released its On-Screen Display Utility software for the machine in hopes of quelling user complaints. If you’ll recall, HP stated that the displays are of a higher quality than other laptop panels, which can make colors look odd in comparison. That said, while this gesture is certainly welcome, at least one tipster wrote into complain that he “wasn’t able to get a satisfactory change. It’s basically just gamma adjustment and r/g/b sliders.” Of course, we’ve only cited one anecdote here, so if you’ve got an Envy 15 you’d like to test this on, hit up the source link below. Be sure to let us know your results in the comments.
[Thanks, Anthony]

Report: HP’s South Korean offices raided over alleged price fixing
Author: Angela Chin
Korea Times is a publication that isn’t shy of the odd bold statement and today it’s claiming that HP’s South Korean offices were raided on suspicion of price-fixing deals made with IBM and Oracle. The country’s Fair Trade Commission seized documents, computer records and questioned employees over alleged price-rigging on public-sector contracts. A company spokesperson said that the visit was routine, while FTC officers refused to comment about ongoing matters, but what is clear is that if any wrong-doing is found, the case will be turned over to prosecutors with the aim of commencing criminal proceedings for those responsible.
