HP ElitePad 1000 The ElitePad is a
solid Windows 8.1 Pro tablet prioritising longevity over performance. The
ElitePad is Crisp, clear, bright colors and high brightness display;
aluminum design; decent cameras; good speakers Helpful HP IT software
preloaded; Good rear camera; Versatile optional dock. The
ElitePad has a 10.1-inch IPS display featuring a native pixel-resolution of
1920 x 1200, up from the Elitepad 900's 1280 x 800. It's a great resolution for
the size of the device. Its touchscreen panel is very bright and easily viewable outdoors
when set to full brightness. It offers excellent, near-180-degree viewing angles
and is scratch resistant, with an anti-smudge coating that makes it easy to
clean. Corning's Gorilla Glass 3's presence means it's also tough to boot.
Touch input works flawlessly, allowing you to pick out icons, text and cursor
points with good accuracy. Driven
by a quad-core 64 bit Intel Bay Trail class processor, the HP ElitePad 1000 G2
isn’t intended to compete with top-of-the-line specs. But it’s also no slouch,
boasting a normal speed of 1.6 GHz, and a “burst” speed of 2.4 GHz. We’ve
already seen what Intel’s speed bursts can do in Acer’s Android tablets, and
it’s quite impressive. Although this ElitePad may not measure up to higher end devices like theMicrosoft Surface Pro 3, it’s definitely nothing to be trifled with. And it’s certainly
adequate for day-to-day corporate usage, as long as you’re not trying to play
high end 3D games on your breaks. Not that the Intel HD4000 display subsystem
would be good for that anyway. All this is rounded out by 4 GB of RAM and a 64
GB internal SSD.
The
battery life on the tablet is fairly good, lasting 7 hours 35 minutes on
rundown test. The HP ElitePad 900 lasted a bit longer (8:23), while the
Microsoft Surface 3 Pro (8:55) had the longest-lasting solo battery among the
devices compared. The longest-living device, however, was the Dell Venue 11
Pro, which only lasted 6:29 as a tablet alone, but extended this to 9:18,
thanks to a secondary battery in the docking keyboard. Specs

Lenovomiix210
. The new Miix 2 10 is not
just a subtle update of the predecessor: in addition to a current-generation
Bay Trail Atom processor and a significantly higher-resolution display, the
Miix 2 10 makes use of a magnetic latch system to secure
the tablet portion to the included keyboard dock in a fixed position - a quite
interesting take on the more traditional hybrid tablet-concept with a
detachable keyboard like theAsus Transformer Book
T100TA-C1-GR Convertible. Of course, there are also hybrids which
have the keyboards attached at all times, like Lenovo's own IdeaPad Yoga 2 11 Convertible.
The Yoga is more powerful, features a slightly larger display, but is also
heavier and bulkier.
At the time of writing, Lenovo offers a
version of the Miix 2 10 with 64 GB of eMMC storage for $500; our review model
costs $100 more and ships with 128 GB flashinstead.
The 10-inch Miix 2 has a high-res
1,920x1,200 display and a clever magnetic keyboard dock. The 128GB SSD is large
for a hybrid tablet. Performance and
battery life The Miix 2 (10-inch) has a 10.1 inch screen. It has
a resolution of 1,920 by 1,200 pixels. This measures out to 224 PPI
pixels-per-inch (PPI), making it sharper than
average for a tablet display. The Miix 2 (10-inch) has a battery life of 8
hours with typical use, which is typical for a tablet. Keep in mind that this
is an average figure, and actual battery life largely depends on the strain a
tablet is under at any given time. Reading an e-book consumes far less power
than watching a high definition video, for example. The Miix 2 (10-inch) is
powered by a a quad core Intel Atom Z3740 system on a chip. Its clock speed is
1.3 GHz, which is about average for a tablet processor. With a quad core
processor, this tablet will be more effective at multitasking compared to
tablets with single core CPUs.
The base version
of the Miix 2 (10-inch) houses a healthy 128 GB of
internal storage, making it an ideal choice for users looking to have a lot of
music, videos, and pictures on the go.
If 128 GB isn't enough, you can
expand its storage by up to 32 GB via
microSD card. The Miix 2 (10-inch) has two
cameras, a 2 megapixel front camera and a 5 megapixel rear camera. Its camera
doesn't autofocus, which can hurt image quality. All tablets have WiFi
connectivity to connect to local wireless networks. This model also has a
Bluetooth 4.0 connection to pair with various accessory devices.
but,The keyboard and touchpad have just enough lag and ergonomic
weirdness to discourage productivity, and the fixed angle may not work for you.
The pokey Atom processor is better suited for some Windows tasks than others.
THE BOTTOM LINE With
a bigger screen than most Windows tablets and an included keyboard dock, the
10-inch Lenovo Miix 2 tries to walk the line between entertainment and
productivity, but it's still a few keyboard tweaks away from success.

VS Sony Xperia Z2
Tablet Sony's previous Xperia Tablet Z was an incredibly slender piece of kit,
measuring only 6.9mm thick, but the new model has managed to slice off even
more, coming in at only 6.4mm. Its slimness is immediately noticeable when you
pick the slate up as it feels like a thin pamphlet. At 426g it's very light as
well, which should help make it comfortable to use for longer
periods.Design-wise, not much has changed since the previous model. The front
is a button-free, all glass design, while the back panel is a wide expanse of
matte black plastic, with the minimal Sony branding in the middle. Like its
predecessor, the Z2 Tablet is completely waterproof, allowing it to shrug off
an errant spilled drink or let you dunk it in the sink to rinse off smeary
fingerprint marks.The 10.1-inch display boasts a Full HD resolution, making it
well equipped to tackle glossy, high definition shows on Netflix. It's not
quite matching the iPad Air's whopping 2048x1536-pixel resolution, although
side-by-side, I doubt you'd notice much difference.On the back of the tablet is
an 8-megapixel camera which should be at least good enough for some Instagram
shots of whatever you've cooked that evening.Stuffed into that skinny frame is
a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, clocked at an impressive 2.3GHz,
backed up by 3GB of RAM. Specifications
