Video: New HP SlateBook x2 is first Android hybrid with Tegra 4

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Previewed earlier this month, the HP SlateBook x2 is an Android tablet that doubles as a notebook when attached to a full-sized keyboard. The Android tablet market hasn't been doing great, but HP's bold approach puts a lot of the functionality users like from their Windows 8 hybrid devices into a smaller, more affordable product.

hSaid to be available this Summer, the SlateBook X2 will offer all-day computing with two batteries, one in the base and one in the tablet. HP says 13-14 hours battery life on a full charge. Could this be the product that breathes new life to the Android tablet market?
