Therefore, it is no problem to watch two feature movies when on the go.ĭoes the performance of the HP Slate 7 Plus suffice for one of the top ranks in our list? Sadly, despite many positive aspects, not quite. The practical video test with the Full HD video Big Buck Bunny is only terminated after 4 hours. The Asus Memo Pad HD 7, however, is far ahead of the competition. Hence it can distance itself from the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 and the Palit Galapad 7 and comes close to eye level with the Google Nexus 7. The test under load at maximum display brightness is ended by the HP Slate 7 Plus after 3 hours and 10 minutes. The rest of the competition is slightly more enduring. Here it can only surpass the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210. In the surf test via WLAN with adjusted brightness and our browser script with various web sites, one battery charge lasts a good 6:40 h. The Asus Memo Pad HD 7 also beats it with a runtime of 16:55 hours. However, it cannot reach the marathon runner Google Nexus 7 with more than 44 hours. The Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 tablet also has a significantly lower runtime of 11:36 hours. The tablet lasts a maximum of an impressive 15 hours and 31 minutes and thus about 5 hours longer than, for example, the Palit Galapad 7. The battery runtimes of the HP Slate 7 Plus, which is fitted with a 15 Wh Li-polymer battery, are appropriately good. The 15 Wh battery is not interchangeable the microSD card slot at the top edge represents the only upgrade possibility. The user's maintenance and upgrade possibilities are rather limited for the HP Slate 7 Plus. The Google Nexus 7, for example, weighs only 290 g (~10.2 ounces) at a thickness of 8.65 mm (~0.34 inches) and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 300 g (~10.6 ounces) at 9.9 mm (~0.39). Much of the competition builds significantly thinner and more compact products that weigh less. Additionally the HP Slate 7 Plus is 10.7 mm thick (~0.42 inches). With measurements of 194.7 x 122.7 millimeters (~7.7 x 4.8 inches) and a total weight of a considerable 342 grams (~12.1 ounces), the tablet is still handy but nevertheless quite heavy. Admittedly, the test sample shines with consistent clearances however, the plastic back side gives in noticeably and with a creaking sound under just a little pressure. The surface feel is acceptable but could be somewhat handier. The back side flaunts a big, black, high-gloss HP logo. The case of the HP Slate 7 Plus is made completely of silver-gray polycarbonate. Is the test device HP Slate 7 Plus able to come out on top against these competitors? How well does it stack up when it comes to performance and hardware? All of these questions are answered in our test review. Several competitors, among them are, for example, the new Google Nexus 7, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210, the Asus Memo Pad HD 7 as well as the Palit Galapad 7, which is also equipped with a Tegra 3 SoC, try to arouse the buyer's interest. In the highly competitive entry-level segment with a price range of up to 200 Euros (~$276) it encounters fierce competition. It is driven by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and powered by a 15 Wh battery. At an RRP of 149 Euros (~$205) the HP Slate 7 Plus comes well equipped with its 7-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x800 pixels, a Tegra 3 SoC including an integrated GeForce ULP graphics card, 1 GB SDDR3 RAM and 8 GB flash memory (net: 5.42 GB).
