Third-party reviews

What customers like about Hp Pro Slate 12 WiFi (2GB + 32GB)

  • Large 12.3-inch screen ideal for reading magazines and productivity tasks
  • Excellent battery life, lasting over 10 hours in real-world video tests
  • Innovative Duet Pen that can digitise notes written on regular paper
  • Sleek and thin design (under 8mm) despite its large size
  • Front-facing DTS speakers provide decent volume for personal viewing

What customers don't like about Hp Pro Slate 12 WiFi (2GB + 32GB)

  • Low screen resolution (1600x1200) resulting in low pixel density (163ppi)
  • Significant screen glare and reflections, making outdoor use difficult
  • Dated hardware specs, including a Snapdragon 800 processor and only 2GB of RAM
  • Large bezels around the display waste considerable physical space
  • Limited internal storage (16GB or 32GB) with no microSD slot on certain models
  • Patchy camera quality with grainy images and washed-out colours

Verdict

The HP Pro Slate 12 is a business-focused Android tablet featuring a large 12.3-inch IPS display with a 1600 x 1200 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio, protected by Corning Concore Glass. It is powered by a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD. Key characteristics include front-facing stereo speakers with DTS Sound+, an 8MP rear camera, and the innovative HP Duet Pen, which uses ultrasonic technology to digitise handwritten notes from paper. Main pros are its impressive battery life of up to 14 hours, premium build quality, and unique note-taking capabilities. However, its significant cons include a relatively low pixel density for its size, substantial screen glare, and an outdated operating system (Android 4.4/5.0) that limits modern app performance.
