Verdict

The HP Slate 8 Pro (WiFi, 2GB RAM, 16GB Storage) is a compact Android tablet designed with an 8-inch IPS display featuring a 4:3 aspect ratio and 1600 x 1200 resolution. It is powered by a quad-core 1.8GHz NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor and includes 16GB of internal storage, expandable via a microSD slot. Key advantages include its high-resolution screen with excellent color accuracy, a sleek and durable build protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3, and a micro-HDMI port for easy external connectivity. However, the tablet has been noted for its somewhat dated Android version, a lack of physical camera flash for its 8MP rear lens, and a 4:3 screen ratio that causes significant letter-boxing when watching modern widescreen videos.
