  • Long battery runtimes suitable for casual daily use
  • Integrated 3G/4G mobile broadband connectivity (HP DataPass) is highly valued for professionals and students

What customers don't like about HP Slate 10 HD 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Underwhelming dual-core processor performance that can feel sluggish compared to rivals
  • Low screen resolution (1280 x 800) which looks 'crude' next to newer high-definition tablets
  • Subpar camera quality, with the front-facing webcam described as nearly useless
  • Noticeable 'light bleed' along the edges of the display in some units
  • Physical buttons (power and volume) are poorly placed and difficult to find by touch
  • Software updates are limited, with many users stuck on older Android versions (EOL)

Verdict

The HP Slate 10 HD 3G is a 10.1-inch Android tablet featuring an IPS LCD display with a 1280 x 800 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. It is powered by a dual-core Marvell PXA986 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz, paired with 1GB of DDR3 RAM and 16GB of eMMC internal storage, which is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD slot. Key characteristics include 3G mobile broadband connectivity, Beats Audio dual stereo speakers, a 5MP autofocus rear camera capable of 1080p video, and a 2MP front-facing camera. Main pros are its long battery life of up to 10 hours, solid build quality with a soft-touch finish, and the inclusion of GPS and ambient light sensors. However, notable cons include its relatively low pixel density (~151 ppi), a sluggish dual-core processor that struggles with modern multitasking or high-end gaming, and a screen prone to significant glare and fingerprints.
