HP unveils 8-inch Envy Note 8 tablet with 10-inch keyboard

Windows tablets aren't new of course, but this 8-inch 16:10 FHD tablet with stylus and keyboard support is certainly one-of-a-kind from HP.

Windows tablets smaller than 10-inches in screen size are generally uncommon compared to its Android counterparts. Lenovo is one of the few major manufacturers to offer 8-inch Windows tablets with the Miix series, but demand has been low due to public perception of Windows 8. In truth, it's hard to get any actual work on Windows when screen real estate is this limited.

Now with Windows 10 in the market, HP is taking its own shot at the 8-inch Windows segment with the new Envy Note 8. The existing Slate 8 tablet is strictly an Android device, so the new Envy tablet is targeted more towards office users especially considering its 16:10 display ratio. Core specifications include:

8-inch 16:10 IPS display w/ Gorilla Glass 3
1920 x 1200 resolution
Intel Atom Cherry Trail-x5 processor
5 MP rear camera w/ autofocus, 2 MP front camera
MicroSD slot, Micro-SIM, 3.5 mm audio
Bang&Olufsen speakers
7.7 mm thick
0.8 pounds

To make the 8-inch screen easier to use, HP has designed a 10-inch keyboard dock with an active stylus holder specifically for the Envy Note 8. Like on the Spectre x2, the manufacturer is addressing the normally poor keyboards on detachables by using Aluminum for the base and increasing key travel to a deeper 1.5 mm. The touchpad is also extra-wide at 34.8 x 9.8 mm in surface area. The underside of the keyboard is also recessed for sliding in the Envy Note 8 tablet when not in use. From our short time with the device, we can already say that its keyboard dock is of high construction quality with better key feedback than expected.

Nonetheless, there are some key downsides to the sleek Envy Note 8. Keyboard size is still quite cramped as anyone who has used a 10-inch netbook can attest. The tablet connects to its base via Bluetooth only and the display angle is not adjustable. Thus, the keyboard houses its own batteries and cannot be used as a secondary battery for charging other devices. Battery life shouldn't be an issue, however, as HP tells us that the base should be able to last for about a month without needing to recharge. If that's the case, we would have certainly liked to see backlit keys since this is marketed as a premium device.

The Envy Note 8 launches later this month for $329 with an included active stylus or $429 with both the stylus and keyboard base. Expect our full review on the tablet and keyboard to follow


HP Spectre x2 refresh will have built-in stainless steel
http://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Spectre-x2-refresh-will-have-built-in-stainless-steel-stand.151287.0.html

The original Spectre x2 detachable launched two years ago and we found it to be pretty decent for its time. By today's standards, however, its thick design and 2 kg weight could certainly be improved considering its small 13.3-inch screen size. Additionally, its hinges suffer from limited angles with too much wobbling for our liking.

HP has been well aware of these criticisms and has seemingly addressed them and more with the upcoming Spectre X2 redesign. The all-Aluminum chassis is now sharper and flatter with more defined edges and corners while the aluminum keyboard dock offers both a wider touchpad and more comfortable keys with 1.5 mm of travel. The detachable now weighs just 2.69 pounds with a thickness of 13.15 mm (plus attached base) compared to 4.39 pounds and 17.80 mm of the original Spectre x2. An attached sleeve holds the included active stylus similar to the Surface Pro 3.

The new 3.5 mm-thick kickstand is the icing on the cake for the new detachable. The U-shaped design may appear flimsy, but its stainless steel composition feels rigid up to its ~175-degree maximum. HP tells us that they could have went with a rectangular-shaped kickstand a la the Surface Pro 3 instead, but the U-shape design allows for a larger integrated battery in a thinner profile.

Perhaps the one downside of the new Spectre x2 is that it will be smaller in screen size than the original Spectre x2. The upcoming model will be just 12-inches with no other sizes announced. There will be no resolutions available above 1080p, either. Additionally, the base attaches via POGO pins only, which contrasts the recently announced Envy Note 8 and its Bluetooth-enabled keyboard base.

Nonetheless, the Spectre x2 is looking to be one of the best detachables in the market based on our short time with the device. The hinges have always been the weakest link in this particular category and HP's versatile kickstand solution already looks promising.

The Spectre x2, Wacom stylus, and keyboard base will be bundled for $799 starting early November. LTE with Verizon comes standard with no WiFi-only version just yet.

HP Spectre x360 gets new Silver and Copper colors
http://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-Spectre-x360-gets-new-Silver-and-Copper-colors.151282.0.html

The Spectre x360 is one of the better 2-in-1s available when compared to competitors like the Yoga or Toshiba Satellite Radius 15. The Aluminum-clad convertible manages to stay light and thin without sacrificing stability, so its tablet mode is much less cumbersome to use. HP tells us that this particular model has sold better than the company initially expected. Thus, it's only natural to update it with the latest Intel Skylake U-series.

Beyond the expected internal upgrades, HP has embellished a brand new coat of paint on the notebook. We're not gonna lie - it's dark Silver surfaces and Copper edges and corners are very attractive and rather unique in the HP product line. The new Envy and EliteBook refresh, for example, are the usual monotone Silver from top to bottom. The new classy color scheme is a breath of fresh air that we hope to see in more business and higher-end mainstream devices from HP.

Otherwise, this is the largely same convertible we know and love aside from a few software updates, updated Bang&Olufsen speakers, and an improved keyboard with a deeper 1.5 mm of travel. We recommend checking out our dedicatedly review on the Spectre 13 x360 for more details on the the hardware and connectivity features.

The new Spectre x360 starts for just under $900 USD.

Toshiba’s 12 inch convertible with optional 4K display launches for $1000 and up

http://liliputing.com/2015/10/toshibas-12-inch-convertible-with-optional-4k-display-launches-for-1000-and-up.html

 

The Toshiba Satellite Radius 12 is a convertible notebook with a 12.5 inch display, an Intel Skylake processor, and a case that measures just 0.6 inches thick and which weighs about 2.9 pounds.

 

Toshiba introduced the Satellite Radius 12 in September, and now the company has announced that it’ll be available for purchase starting October 18th for $1000 and up.

 

If you opt for the $1000 model, you’ll get a version with a 1920 x 1080 pixel display. Want something a little more fancy? Toshiba also has a version with a 3840 x 2160 pixel display and a starting price of $1300.

 

Both models have IPS displays with wide viewing angles, 350-nits of brightness, and Corning Gorilla Glass for scratch resistance.

 

Other features include Harman Kardon speakers, Windows 10 software, and support for facial recognition using Windows Hello thanks to an infrared camera. The notebook has a backlit keyboard and features 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth, an HDMI port, two USB 3.0 ports, and one USB Type-C connector with USB 3.1 support. The laptop will be available with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of solid state storage.

 

Toshiba says the Satellite Radius 12 with a full HD display has a brushed metal silver design, while the model with an Ultra HD screen has a carbon gray brushed metal finish.

 

 

Μαζί με το παραπάνω μοντελο η Toshiba παρουσίασε Μια εξαιρετικη πρόταση απο την στις 12 ίντσες ως ανταγωνιστική πρόταση στο Surface 3 με Wacom Digitizer που θα κυκλοφορήσει το πρώτο τρίμηνο σε Αμερική και Ευρωπη και που διακρίνεται στο ποσο λεπτό ειναι για την κατηγορία του,πιο μικρό πάχος και απο το iPad pro.

 

Και το σημαντικό οτι ακολουθεί τα πρότυπα των Surface tablet και να εχει 3:2 aspect ratio

 

Toshiba’s new dynaPad is a 12 inch 2-in-1 tablet with a Wacom pen

Microsoft reveals Toshiba dynaPad, a stunningly thin 12-inch Windows 10 tablet with Wacom pen

http://liliputing.com/2015/10/toshibas-new-dynapad-is-a-12-inch-2-in-1-tablet-with-a-wacom-pen.html

http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-reveals-toshiba-dynapad-a-stunningly-thin-12-inch-windows-10-tablet-with-wacom-pen

 

Toshiba’s 12.5 inch convertible Satellite Radius 12 isn’t the company’s only new 2-in-1 Windows PC. The company also introduced a new dynaPad tablet in Japan.

 

The tablet has a 12 inch display and a detachable keyboard dock. But it’s stand-out feature is probably its support for pen input. The Toshiba dynaPad comes with a Wacom Active Electrostatics TruePen with support for 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity.

 

By comparison, the new Microsoft Surface Pro tablet has a digitizer and pen that supports 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity. I suspect casual users won’t notice much difference when scribbling hand-written notes, but this could make the Toshiba dynaPad a better option for artists.

 

The tablet has a 1920 x 1280 pixel IPS display with a dual-layer coat of anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint material.

 

The dynaPad weighs about 1.25 pounds, while the tablet and keyboard combined weigh in at about 2.2 pounds.

 

Microsoft says the dynaPad goes up for pre-order in Japan today, but it’ll also be available in the US and Europe in the first quarter of 2016 (although I suspect it might have a different name — Toshiba tends to use the “dyna” name in Japan, while labeling its international products with names like “Satellite”).

 

Other features include an Intel Atom Cherry Trail processor, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, 802.11ac WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, a microSD card slot, micro HDMI port, and two micro USB ports

Asus Transformer Book T100HA Convertible Review

 

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-Transformer-Book-T100HA-Convertible-Review.151966.0.html

 

Verdict

 

 

Six months ago, our review of the Asus T100 Chi revealed a legitimate contender in the budget convertible market with a few major missteps. Namely, we resented the cumbersome individual charging requirements for the keyboard base (and delayed initialization upon attachment), lack of RAM, small and sluggish eMMC storage, lack of maintenance, cramped keyboard, and LCD panel color reproduction. The T100HA resolves nearly all of these, and it costs roughly $100 lessβimpressive from the outset.

 

 

Asus throws yet another sucker punch at the Chromebook competition with a $299 Windows convertible that gets a lot of things right.

 

The keyboard base and tablet are now connected via a physical data port (and thus no charging of the base is required, and no initialization delay applies). 4 GB of RAM was included in our review unit, as well as 64 GB of faster (as much as 40-50% on average) eMMC storage. The LCD panel now features a respectable 84% sRGB coverage, and far better accuracy out of the box than did the T100 Chi. And port selection has seen a significant upgrade to include a USB 3.1 Type-C port and a full-sized USB 2.0 port on the keyboard base (in lieu of the micro-USB on the previous model).

 

Of course, however, thatΚΌs not the full story. While for the most part the T100HA represents a substantial improvement over its predecessor, there are a couple of areas where it actually regresses. Specifically, the LCD panel has seen its resolution downgraded from 1900x1200 resolution of the T100 Chi to just 1280x800, which is pedestrian at best for tablets of this size. Secondarily, the speakers are now weaker and tinnier than just about any weΚΌve heard in any recent machine. Finally, however, and perhaps most importantly, the new keyboard base actually feels quite a bit flimsier (and manages to flex even under fairly moderate typing pressure), producing a hollow sound with each stroke. The original T100 Chi keyboard we found to be quite serviceable in spite of the price point, so this is a disappointment.

 

Still, though, letΚΌs not kid ourselves: this is a $299 MSRP machineβand at that price point, the total package is invariably impressive. Sure, you could spring for a Microsoft Surface 3 and score a few more amenities, such as superior build quality, a nicer screen, and potentially a better CPU, but youΚΌll also be spending over $200 more for that packageβand there are some areas where the T100HA is actually better, such as port selection. This is another serious punch thrown by Asus, and itΚΌs one which should have plenty of would-be Chromebook owners thinking twice about their purchase.

Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 10 2nd Generation Tablet Review

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-ThinkPad-Tablet-10-2nd-Generation-Tablet-Review.152645.0.html

 

Pro

 

+ build quality

+ pen included

+ pen support

+ battery runtime

 

Cons

 

- heat distribution

- throttling even with light workloads

- system performance

 

Verdict

 

 

The ThinkPad 2nd Gen is Lenovo’s second attempt to establish a Windows tablet in the mainstream business segment. Our review configuration costing about 700 Euros (~$771) has a nice specification sheet, but unfortunately, it cannot keep all its promises. At least the build quality and the design are very solid. The integrated touchscreen works very well and the included pen can also be used for longer texts. All the display results are solid average. The ThinkPad also has good battery runtimes and can even manage a whole business day. The biggest issue is the performance. There is hardly any headroom and even multitasking can be too challenging for the Lenovo ThinkPad 10 2nd Gen, which is probably caused by the passive cooling solution. The small tablet gets primarily warm in a single local section.

 

The performance deficit is still a problem for Lenovo's new Tablet. Whether Lenovo can solve this issue for the next version remains to be seen. We can recommend the review unit as a typewriter for the university or as a second companion besides a notebook. However, it is not sufficient to replace a notebook.

 

It is definitely a good idea to have a look at the mentioned rivals. The similarly priced Microsoft Surface 3 in particular gets better scores in many aspects.

Σε ολα αυτα τα w10 πως λειτουργουν/συμπεριφερονται? Αξιζουν ή ειναι μαπα σε σχεση με τα 8.1 σε ταμπλετ? 

ΟΙ cherry trail εβγαλαν προβληματα και ηδη η intel ανακοινωσε phase out μεχρι τελος του χρονου και αντικατασταση τους απο νεα μοντελα. Ολα σχεδον τα κινεζικα εχουν προβληματα σε θερμοτητες και throttling...

Προσωπικά έχω τα 8.1 διότι πιο σταθερά είναι, πιο battery friendly και πιο tablet/touch friendly.

Επομένως δεν έχω άποψη για τα 10.

 

Από εκεί και πέρα επειδή έχω το Surface 3 με Cherry Trail πρόβλημα θερμοκρασιών δεν έχω,ουτε και θεμα throttling που να επηρεάζει αρνητικά σε καθημερινή βάση.

Επειδή έχω και iPad είναι ελαφριά πιο ζεστό στις περισσότερες εργασίες που κάνω μαζί του. 

 

Πάντως δεν συμφωνώ ότι έβγαλαν πρόβλημα οι cherry trail σε καμία περίπτωση.

Είναι ότι πιο battery efficient με ικανοποιητικές επιδόσεις σχεδόν το 80% ενός i3 για το high end Z8700 με θερμοκρασίες σε απόλυτα φυσιολογικά επίπεδα, γενικά ότι καλύτερο σε fan less υλοποίηση με Atom αρχιτεκτονική.

 

Επίσης αυτό που θα κάνει η Intel να βγάλει refresh τη σειρά με ελαφρώς πιο αυξημένα GHz  λειτουργίας και πολύ ελαφρώς καλύτερη GPU.

Κινέζικα δεν είχα μέχρι τώρα για να έχω άποψη.
