HP Omni 10
The
HP Omni 10's screen is 10.1 inches with 1920 x 1200 pixels resolution IPS
display and an Intel Bay Trail processor.The Omni 10 is relatively thin and feels
appropriately heavy for a tablet its size.There is a Intel Atom Z3770 Quad core
2.39 GHz processor (CPU).The tablet runs on the Windows 8.1 operating system
(OS).It feels like a solidly built slate with decent specs, but the lack of any
exciting bells and whistles made it pale in comparison to some of HP's other
tablets, not to mention other Windows 8.1 releases.You can take photos or
capture video with the tablet's onboard 8+ megapixel camera. There is also a
secondary front facing camera with 2+ megapixels resolution.Despite its humdrum
demeanor, the Omni 10 tablet packs enough of a punch for productivity, with
64GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM. The device also features a Micro-HDMI
port.As the name Omni suggests, HP intends this tab for all around use and not
specific business (like HP ElitePad) or home use (like HP Slate). Specifications

VS Microsoft
Surface 2 The Microsoft Surface 2 is a definite upgrade over 2012's Surface RT.
It's faster, with a sharper screen, and houses better cameras.The Microsoft
Surface 2 has a sturdy build, smooth gaming performance, and high-quality
cameras. Windows RT 8.1 is easier to use than before, and the built-in
photo-editing tools and Xbox Music are fantastic features. Office 2013 is
included for free, and thanks to a new kickstand angle, the tablet is less
likely to fall off your lap.
But, App support still lags behind
competitors, and Windows RT is still incompatible with legacy programs. It's
too easy to mistakenly push the tablet into its lower stance, and the touch pad
on the Type Cover 2 isn't as comfortable as it was on the previous
version.
Performance: Using the
Surface 2 feels fast and responsive, which wasn't the case with the original
Surface. This is borne out when browsing the web, as can be seen in an average
SunSpider JavaScript score of 496.2ms. That's a very good score for a tablet.
Where the Surface always performed
was in gaming, and the Surface 2 is no exception. Running the onscreen Egypt HD
2.5 graphics benchmark the Surface 2 achieved a respectable score of 33fps.
Running the 3D Mark Ice Storm Extreme benchmark the Surface 2 scored an average
of 8432, Ice Storm Unlimited averaged out at 12,787. These are very healthy
scores that reflect our experience of a zippy machine even when running
multiple processes.
Here the Surface 2 doesn’t
disappoint. Microsoft claims 10 hours on a full charge, and we can’t fault its
estimate. We spent a whole day using the Surface 2 on and off, using it to
write, browse the internet and stream videos, and still had a comfortable
20-30% spare by the end of the day.
Our only real complaint here is that
the auto-brightness system typically sets the screen a little dimmer than is
comfortable, which means you’re constantly fiddling with it manually.
The
bottom line: The Microsoft Surface 2 is great for getting work done, but those
looking for extensive app support (beyond Office) will find top Apple, Android,
and Amazon tablets to be better options. Specifications
