LAS VEGAS—It seems like a bit of a disconnect for HP to announce new commercial PCs at a trade show focused on consumer electronics, but HP—which didn't book exhibit space at the show—is wise not to waste the opportunity.
The company unveiled seven new products Sunday evening, including its first all-in-one that runs the Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) operating system instead of Windows. HP is positioning the Slate 21 Pro AiO as an everyday business machine that also has applications in the education and hospitality markets.
HP's Slate 21 Pro all-in-one runs Android, but you can also use it as a touchscreen display for a Windows PC.
The Slate 21 Pro is powered by a quad-core Nvidia Tegra 4 processor, 2GB of DDR3/800 memory, and 16GB of eMMC flash storage. Its 21.5-inch, IPS, optical touchscreen (two touch points and three cameras) has native resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The all-in-one has an HDMI input and can be used as a display for another computer, such as a laptop. Connect a USB cable and you can control the computer using the Slate 21 Pro's touchscreen.
