Apple iPad And Windows 7 Slate Comparison

Windows 7 Slate Hanvon is expected to release by end of this year and we are already having Apple iPad tablet which has revolutionized the tablet market. Windows 7 Slate is having a good configuration as compared to Apple iPad and in some departments like USB, camera, processor speed etc, Windows 7 tablet is much ahead of iPad. You will get 2 USB slots, a webcam, 1.3GHz processor with 2GB RAM, 250GB to 320GB HDD, 10 Inch screen screen display with 1024 x 600 capacitive multi-touch screen etc. Configuration wise Windows 7 slate is a clear winner but again the look and feel of iPad is no doubt better than Windows 7 slate. Specially the zooming feature of iPad is much better than than Windows 7 slate.

Note: Windows 7 slate Hanvon will have Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.

HP has unveiled videos illustrating that the Slate is everything the iPad isn't--USB ports, expandable memory with SD card slots, support for Adobe Flash, able to run all of the software normally run on a Windows desktop PC. It's a "real" computer.

A leaked HP document comparing the features and specifications of the Slate and iPad head-to-head, though, shows the weaknesses of the Slate, and an early review of the Slate from a Mexican site with a Canadian domain suffix (a review which was subsequently taken down at HP's request) was notably unimpressed--deeming it essentially a netbook without a keyboard. Bottom line, it's a "real" computer.

So, which is a better device for mobile business professionals? Well, business professionals that need a fully functioning Windows operating system, or want a camera--or two, or the ability to use USB devices and SD memory cards, or feel that Adobe Flash is a business-critical application can choose the HP Slate--the Ford F150 of tablets.

Business professionals that want a thinner tablet with a larger display, with instant-on access to the device, faster speeds, longer battery life, and access to more than 150,000 apps--most of which are cheap, or even free--can choose the iPad--the Audi R8 of tablets.

There is nothing wrong, per se, with either choice. The contractor is right that the Ford F150 is better--for him--and the race car driver is also right that the Audi R8 is better--for him.
