 business tablets. The HP Slate 8 Pro Business Tablet is a slightly updated version of the Slate 8 Pro consumer model that launched in late 2013.
There are a few key differences. The new tablet ships with Android 4.4 KitKat instead of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It includes support for NFC wireless communication. And it sells for $349 from the HB business site (instead of $330 from the home & office).
We first spotted the new HP Slate 8 Pro Business tablet in an FCC listing on April 4th. Blogger Mike Cane noticed the new tablet is already available from HP.
Like its predecessor, the new tablet features an 8 inch, 1600 x 1200 pixel display with a 4:3 aspect ratio, and an NVIDIA Tegra 4 ARM Cortex-A15 quad-core CPU. Those specs make it one of the most powerful Android tablets available… or they would if the tablet didn’t also ship with just 1GB of RAM.
It features 16GB of storage, a microSD card slot, micro HDMI port, and micro USB cable. There’s an 8MP rear camera and 720p front-facing camera, and the tablet has a 21Whr battery which HP says is good for up to 11.5 hours of run time.
The HP Slate 8 Pro Business tablet features 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and support for Miracast wireless display streaming. The tablet measures 8.7″ x 5.6″ x 0.4″ and weighs about 1 pound.
Last time I checked KitKat costs the same as Jelly Bean. (Free). This thing honestly hits you like a slap in the face.
Used to buy HP stuff. Now they just seem mostly like also-rans. “Well, everyone else has a mediocre 8″ tablet, so here’s our version.” Instead of aiming at Apple, maybe they aspire to be the American version of Acer, except Acer is looking better these days and at least Acer charges less. And that comment about HP seeming to insist on having at least one fatal flaw per device. So true. They’re not alone, maybe just the most devoted practitioners.
It has the usual HP fatal flaw. There’s always at least one, as if they just can’t stand to make something great. 1MB RAM.
Yeah I know.. There’s a few tablets who has excellent specs until they only have 1gb of Ram. I am sure ppl would pay the extra $25-$40 for smithery 1gb of Ram. It feels like it’s either 2gb of Ram or no SD slot for these $400 range tablets excluding Chinese tablets of course.
Well, not a great update but this means kitkat for the slate 8 pro “basic” will be a reality soon. Even if hp doesn’t launch if officially someone will give it a little tweak to work on the first 8″ slate. Wonderful, wonderful tablet despite a little overweight, it’s a champ!
So is this how you get updates to HP tablets by having to buy a whole new device? Who would even buy anything from this company knowing it will just be abandoned.
This is what traditional PC companies still don’t “get”, we no longer live in a world where you can release a product & then never support it again like in the height of the PC era. In a device-based world like with Apple, Nexus, Surface, ChromeOS, game consoles, Roku, FireTV, the devices get continuous updates until end of life.
that actually invented new things, supported its products.
Compaq. Was that during Carly Fiorina’s term?
See its products like these that convince me that HP truly has no clue what they’re doing.Today’s inspiration came from The Daily Post’s daily prompt:
The Mirror Crack’d
You wake up one morning to a world without mirrors. How does your life—from your everyday routines to your perception of yourself—change?
Victor stopped dead in front of the hallway mirror. It was gone! Not the entire mirror, the frame was still there, but the glass was missing. He ran into the bathroom. That mirror was also gone. What the hell! He ran down the stairs, jogged the short way to work, and rushed into the staff changing room. All the mirrors were missing! Victor hardly ever looked at his own reflection, so for that sake it didn’t matter, but how would he now sneak a peek of all the lovely men in the shower while he pretended to wipe the floors?Can family live in an investment property?

Although deer are breathtaking to view in their natural habitat, they pose a high risk for drivers and passengers when they cross the road. Fall is an especially dangerous time for deer accidents because it’s their breeding season, and also hunting season. If you’re traveling through Saginaw or another part of Michigan, you need to be aware of how to avoid a deer-vehicle accident and what to do if you hit a deer.
Deer are a significant problem for motorists in Michigan. In 2019, there were 55,531 wrecks that involved deer. This was a significant increase from the previous year, which was around 53,000. Tragically, 12 people lost their lives because of deer-related wrecks in 2019, and 1,265 people were injured.
Traffic accidents involving deer commonly occur between the hours of 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Out of the 55,531 accidents that occurred in 2019, 13,702 occurred during these hours, six of which caused fatal injuries. Additionally, it’s important to note that there’s a significant increase in deer-related traffic accidents in the Fall. 43% of all deer-vehicle collisions occur between the months of October and December.
Although deer-related car accidents are common and happen suddenly, there are steps you can take to stay safer while on the road.
You should always avoid driving while distracted or while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Always wear a seatbelt. An unbuckled driver or passenger can be ejected from the vehicle in the event of a animal collision.
You need to stay especially careful during dawn and dusk when deer are most active.
Be extra cautious when driving in Fall and Spring.
If you see a deer, continue driving with extra caution. Deer often travel single file in packs, so multiple deer might cross the road.
Stay alert for signage indicating a heavy deer population, and drive extra carefully when you see deer crossing signs.
It’s a good idea to keep your brights on when there aren’t other cars around, but you should avoid flashing your brights or honking your horn at crossing deer.
What Should You Do If You Wreck into a Deer in Saginaw?
If a wreck is unavoidable, you need to brace yourself and take precautions to mitigate potential injuries and property damage. You should avoid swerving at all costs because you could cause a more serious wreck. Also, you should avoid slamming on your brakes if the wreck is inevitable. When you slam on your brakes, you position the nose of your car downward, which can result in the deer crashing through your windshield. If you maintain your position, the deer is more likely to roll off of your vehicle. You should also make sure to keep your steering wheel steady during impact.
If anyone is hurt, call an ambulance immediately.
Regardless of whether or not an injury occurred, you should contact the police.
Pull over your vehicle and turn on your hazards while you wait for the police or an ambulance.
Don’t approach the deer if it’s still alive. Injured deer can be highly dangerous.
Take pictures of the damages your vehicle sustained as well as any injuries.
If there were witnesses to the incident, collect their testimonies and save their contact information.
