Just hours ago, HP posted a press
release on its web site announcing a new lineup of consumer and business
PC products, including desktop and notebook computers. However, right
down at the bottom of the post, the company also gave us a clue
regarding a product, which a recent advertisement might have already outed. "An enterprise-ready tablet will be announced soon," HP stated, without revealing any further details whatsoever.
Now,
we might not know what the hardware specs of this upcoming device will
be, yet we can safely assume that HP is not planning to ship the said
device with Android. Instead, it seems likely that the tablet will run a
flavor of Windows 8 – either Pro or RT, depending on what kind of
processor it is powered by. Or at least that is how we interpret the
slate's enterprise readiness. We are also expecting to see an Intel
processor humming inside the tablet, given HP's statement that it isn't planning any ARM-based hardware for now.
That
is pretty much all we know so far, and we hope to have more details on
this HP tablet sooner than later. Is anyone excited to see what kind of
slate HP has in stock for us?
