It looks like HP is staying in the PC business after all. They've just quietly announced an
updated to the Slate 500 called the Slate 2. Physically, the Slate remains much the
same at 1.5lbs with an 8.9" 1024x600 screen with an n-trig dual pen and touch digitizer.
The processor has been upgraded to an Atom Oaktrail Z670 at 1.5 GHz, with the same 2GB of RAM.
The updated processor promises some gains in battery life - up to 6 hours now they say.
You'll also get a front-facing VGA camera and a 3MP camera on the back.
Business security features include an embedded TPM chip, HP ProtectTools to managed
the chip and secure user authentication, the hard drive, email, and digital certificates,
and BIOS support for Computrace Pro. HP will also offer a retail Point of Sale case with an
integrated magnetic strip reader and a barcode scanner. Another nice business accessory is
the Bluetooth Keyboard Case. Like the Slate 500 before it, the digital pen is included.
You can get a 32GB SSD for $699 or a 64GB SSD for $799. Both can be ordered at HP's online store
today. Adding one to the cart is showing an estimated ship date of 11/8. Hopefully, they'll be able to
keep up with that.
