HP has newly entered the tablet market. Being an experienced company in the field of computers, it has put in the right blend of features inorder to deliver seamless performance. A very powerful camera for a small screen device isn't of much use. Similarly, loading a tablet with the phone calling features would only sap out its power.It is, therefore, important that a device should possess features that are in perfect tune with the hardware and the efficiency of the microprocessor. The 10 inch tablet of HP has the latest chip set from broadcom. The tablet is priced at 13000k which is nearly half the price of other branded tabs. I purchased it via flipkart yesterday. The delivery of flipkart is unmatched. The tablet is a fine piece of technology. Camera etc are of lesser power but that is justified as the real power of a tab is in its screen. The performance of camera is also okay if there is sufficient light. The tab runs without any lag. There is no phone calling feature. Afterall who would use a ten inch device for calling? Only the data of a 3g sim is used. It supports external SD card up to 32 GB. The card needs to be inserted when the device is on and has to be rebooted after that. The USB port can be used for connecting a pen drive. However one has to purchase the OTG cable from the market for making that work. Since whatsapp does not support data only tablets, the application has to be installed using small tricks which can be easily known by googling. The net speed is excellent. The sim that had problems catching signals on my phone runs with extra swiftness on the tab. The wifi hot spot can be used by all the family members as it is very efficient. The operating system becomes 4.1.2 Jellybean after updation.
The 10 inch tabs are poised to replace the bags of the students in the future. A few years ago the government of India launched an extra cheap tablet called Akash. The project did not click. But the HP 10 inch tab is excellent for reading PDF files and ebooks. Maybe the elite schools of the country would start teaching by such devices soon. Overall it was a very satisfactory purchase.
