• CONSDim display. Short battery life. Not exceptionally lightweight. Buggy.
• BOTTOM LINE
  HP makes a strong attempt at a proper convertible with the SlateBook x2, a screaming-fast, Tegra 4-powered Android tablet, but it's not without flaws.

Can't decide between a lightweight tablet and a notebook computer? HP attempts to give you both with the SlateBook x2 ($479.99 direct), an Android-powered convertible tablet with an exceptionally comfy keyboard given its small size and weight. Featuring a 10.1-inch, 1080p HD display and Nvidia's latest, screaming-fast 1.8GHz Tegra 4 processor, the SlateBook x2 also has some flaws that prevent it from being a must-have. Our Editors' Choice large-screen tablet remains the fourth-generation Apple iPad£379.49 at Amazon Marketplace, thanks to its much wider app selection and cleaner design, but the SlateBook x2 is still worth a close look.
