The HP Slate 7 fits the bill as an entry-level tablet. It's features and performance are average in every way. What makes it stand out is its low $170 pricetag. You can certainly get a better tablet than this one, but you won't get a better one for less ...

For $169.99, the HP Slate 7 would appear to offer a great value in the smaller Android tablet space. At $30 less than the older Nexus 7, on paper the Slate 7 looks like it's not a bad deal. It doesn't have GPS, is a tad heavier and bulkier, has a lower re...

More entry-level tablets are good for the market. HP’s Slate 7 is a long way from being amazing, but if it’s priced well it’s nothing but good news for the consumer as it offers something a little different and is pretty good looking too in our opinio...

This 7-inch device competes on the scorching market of cheaper tablets of this size, while its features make it resemble models presented at last month's CES, like the Acer Icona Tab B1-A71 and Asus Memo Pad ME172. Its price is also similar -- it has been...
