New Tegra 4 Powered HP Slate 8 Pro Shows Up in Benchmarks

[dgstorm]

A new Android tablet from HP called the Slate 8 Pro just showed up online in a GFX benchmark. The tablet also has the internal codename, “Bodhi” and sports a powerful array of specs:

• Tegra 4 chip clocked at 1.8Ghz
• 8-inch 1,600 x 1,200 pixel display (250 ppi)
• 2GB of RAM
• 5,000 mAh battery
• Android 4.2.2
• A microSD card slot

It's possible this is the new successor to the HP Slate 7, in which case, if they keep the same low-level pricing, then this tablet would be a serious competitor. Of course, it could also simply be a new addition to their lineup and might come at a higher price-point.

We will keep an eye on this and share when something more concrete is revealed.

I wanted to like the HP slate 7, but since its release i think it had issues with wifi from the start. updated firmware was still not enough to correct it. hope this new one has a GPS so simple apps like speedtest.net can be installed.

Somebody in marketing seriously missed the boat when they didn't market this as the HP SL8.
