Of course, one ought not to get too confused by the naming convention, since the HP Pro Slate 8 happens to be a very different animal, so to speak, from the HP Slate 8 Pro which rolled out earlier this year. Both of these tablet happen to be a part of the business tablet range, and they will both be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, accompanied by 2GB RAM, has front-facing stereo speakers, runs on Android 4.4 KitKat as the mobile operating system of choice, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC connectivity, cameras in front as well as at the back, and a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes.
Regardless of which model you pick up, either one will play nice with an HP Duet pen. Apart from that, it will also arrive with a microUSB 2.0 port alongside support for HDMI output via a SlimPort adapter.
