Background and Identification

Hewlett-Packard (HP) was an American information technology company that produced an array of electronic devices including printers, scanners, digital cameras, workstation computers, and computers for home. In 2015, HP split into two companies, HP Inc, which focused on personal computers and printers, and Hewlett Packard Inc, which focuses on the remainder of their products. HP Slate is a line of tablets and All-in-Ones that began in 2010 with the HP Slate 500. The HP Slate 10 was released in 2013 and was sold with an option of a 3G modem and a built-in HP data pass. This feature was important for students and professionals who require access to the internet on the go. ITProPortal states in this review on the HP Slate 10 HD, “If you’re on a tight budget and you have more modest requirements, then it might be worth a look. It’s a cheap tablet, but it’s well-built. The screen is perfectly usable and battery life is great.”

The body of the HP Slate 10 HD contains a plastic rear casing and scratch-resistant glass. The corners are rounded, and the display bezels are significant. The HP logo is located below the display and on the back of the device.
