What I did not care for is Slate 7's display
Which
Unfortunately
Does not use the IPS matrix
As I had hoped an established manufacturer like HP would. Its screen was made by FFS technology and a HP representative at the company's booth claimed it prov
The screen's resolution is eye-squintingly low
Large apps take a long time to load
