        MS Office officially supports Android. Be warned though that, for example, MS Word for android would be better described as MS WordPad for Android. Last I checked, even trivial functionality like Zoom was missing. Kingsoft Office may well be a better choice.

    Does anyone know if it is an IPS screen?

  • Neoika on 22/05/2015 - 20:17

    Yes,it is a bargain,actually being discussed the previous HP tablet deal.I viewed it as something seemingly useful but you do not really need,so I do not bother.

  • dadeadman on 22/05/2015 - 20:55

    Is it worth it? I have surface RT for browsing, videos Netflix and some games.

    Can I connect wired Xbox 360 controller to it? Considering it have same chipset as nvidia shield, it should be good at playing games.

    • Clear on 22/05/2015 - 20:59

      The Tegra 4 may be a little dated, but you won't find something with the same hardware for this price. Android has native support for xbox controllers, so you'll be all set, but some games may not be compatible.

      • iridiumstem on 22/05/2015 - 21:00

        Technically, the manufacturer can take out (I don't know why, but they can) the support. My tablet cannot use xbox-360 controller because the function has been taken out.

        • Clear on 22/05/2015 - 21:09
          +1

          Yep, that's very true, but fortunately HP tablets run mostly stock Android with a few extra settings like beats audio, power saving etc. I've seen reviews on both Youtube and Amazon that say wired Xbox 360 controllers are supported.

        • iridiumstem on 22/05/2015 - 21:10

          @Clear: That's good to hear, since the laptop does look fairly good for playing games :)

        • Clear on 22/05/2015 - 21:11

          @AznMitch: Too bad it's not a hybrid like the slatebook x2. Then it'd be perfect for all games.

        • iridiumstem on 22/05/2015 - 21:14

          @Clear: If it was… I probably would've bought one. I couldn't justify buying one when I have both tablet and a laptop. At this price, something like that is very hard to come by.

  • cureforanitch on 22/05/2015 - 22:16

    Why hadn't this sold out yet? This is basically a really cheap really good chrome book?!

      No a chromebook is a different user experience.

      • cureforanitch on 22/05/2015 - 22:42

        I acknowledge that. However any of the high percentage of us with Android phones, invested in android apps, that had looked for an excuse to buy a chrome book but waited for Android support has to wait no longer.

        I've spent the equivalent of the cost of this thing on beers tonight at a mates bday yet I know I get alot of use out of this! Worst case it sits on the bedroom connected to my free hdmi monitor running Netflix, plex etc with a bit of good play music etc…

          Hi cureforanitch,
          I replied to you to help.
          The Slatebook is $169 delivered twice that is $338. I have used both devices and am typing to you right now on an HP 14 inch Chromebook, which incidentally has USB3. The Chromebook cost only $260 from Dick Smith so not twice, nothing like it. I would have been happy to answer any question you had about either device cause like I said, I am familiar with both of them and could give you a good comparative but for reasons unknown, you think I am a "moron"?
          So I guess I wont.

          @King Tightarse: Mate, fo my benefit I've been steering clear of a Chromebooks due to a workplace reliance on MS Office, it's just impossible for me not to use Excel. My understanding of Chromebooks are they boot straight into Chrome, all available apps are extensions to Chrome and mostly they expect you to store files on Google Drive.

          Having said all that, if I boot into Android with this, and run Chrome, can I 'pretend' for all intents and purposes that I am using a Chromebook? Are there differences that I'm missing out on?

          Thanks for you help

          Out of interest, and feel free not to reply due to beer induced rudeness, what's better?

          You appear to have a unique insight into the chrome book vs this device. I'm sure potential buyers beyond me would be keen for some insight.

    • [Deactivated] on 22/05/2015 - 23:25

      Its not a Chromebook as such it is running the tablet version of android. The big giveaway is that its running android 4.3, Chromebooks have chrome os and it does not carry the android mobile version prefix.

      Chrome on Android however is very different compared to the actual Chrome browser on Windows, MacOS X, Linux and ChromeOS. Probably the same rendering engine, but

      • No extension
      • No Native Client
      • No developer tools
      • Jackson on 25/05/2015 - 22:57

        Still the number of Android apps crushed the number of phone extensions. And there's nothing stopping you loading Firefox

      Take on flights. Watch Movies. Use emulators and roms to play games. Internet surfing. Connect it to the TV and stream videos. Basically most things your phone can do this can do, just on a bigger scale.

  • Jackson on 23/05/2015 - 00:03

    Anyone know if this has an accelerometer in it? I'm wondering if I end up playing something that requires tilting something will I be able to do it? Not sure if anyone has thought of this before in this thread but I'd still like the ability to do this if I had to.

    • djevoultion on 23/05/2015 - 00:31

      It does. I've been reading reviews on it and they say it does. What I want to know is whether we can put a custom rom on this laptop. I'd love to flash android 5.0 on it!

      • Jackson on 23/05/2015 - 00:40

        I wouldn't be expecting a custom rom with the low volumes of these and their initial selling price, and but someone on here was suggesting at least one update, not sure if they quoted their source though.

        Always a chance they are flogging these cheap due to HP dumping support, and still smarting from the TouchPad dumping (I got one relatively cheap but shit they are hopeless, I reckon they could have cemented the no. 2 brand ahead of Samsung for a while at least and given people a bit more competition, and we all know how crap duopolies are

        • djevoultion on 23/05/2015 - 10:33

          Yeah I can't find anything on XDA so it looks like there isn't a modding community for this laptop which is a shame. We are at least able to upgrade to android 4.4 KitKat. A few review sites confirmed this.

        • kimae on 23/05/2015 - 10:45

          @djevoultion: hmmm…the HP slatebook x2 has the same tegra 4 CPU as slatebook 14, there's 100 pages of discussion on xda, root via towelroot. Seems like it loss root access after update to 4.4.2. I might stick to stock and not update.

    • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2015 - 09:33

      Do you Ned to root the device as such?

      I know there is more access to customize the device but really at the end of the day you only have 4.3 what more can you do?

      • kimae on 23/05/2015 - 10:06
        +2

        Rooting opens up the possibilities for this device! Run Linux, xposed module, adblock (adaway), remove bloatware, etc.. Why wouldn't you want root access?

        • [Deactivated] on 23/05/2015 - 23:29

          I understand it opens possibilities but what if there is non?
          I though adblock didn't require root access and bloatware these days can be simply uninstalled apart from the splash screen which does.

      • Clear on 23/05/2015 - 11:46

        You can update it to Android 4.4… ;)

  • Poseidon on 23/05/2015 - 02:35

    How would this work as a replacement for Nexus 7 2013?
    I mainly use it for web browsing (ozbargain).
    I really like the idea of the big self-proping screen on the hp. It should work great for watching movies using plex and catch up TV. The Nexus 7 is too small and unstable to use for watching videos except for the occasional (short) YouTube clip.
    The laptop design should also make it more durable than a tablet. The Nexus has a fair share of nicks and cracks from numerous drops, still works fine.
    Hmm… I don't need it, but very tempting.

    Seems like applying the 4.4.2 update will cause major lag issues. Staying on stock 4.3 has WiFi and battery problems. Sorry, but it looks like HP has ended support and are dumping this to clear their inventory. Good luck to all those who bought one.

        God that was funny, Bravo on the pun JC, heh!

        Based on my personal experience with HP 23" Android Slate, I would steer clear of anything Android on HP because firmware updates and support are none.

        Would be good for those who are technically minded who like to dabble in unusual environments, test a lot of things, habitual tester and error finder, consistent attempter of getting things right etc… It didn't suit me with my slate that kept locking up forcing reboot, or browser just crashes like IOS 8.3 running on the first Ipad type of experience… so I obtained a refund.

        Not discouraging anyone from purchase, just warning EVERYONE the potential fun they will have with this oddball product.

        You do get a lot of specs for the money, the summation of all parts is still equal to a pile of poop unfortunately.

    • kimae on 23/05/2015 - 18:44

      Yes, MS Office is supported after you update the device to 4.4.2 but there are many office suites compatible on the playstore. However, beware, according to many users, after applying the update, there are major lag issues with the device and you lose the potential to root. You can read about below:

        Yes but going to 4.4.2 has many advantages. Can you roll-back?

        • kimae on 23/05/2015 - 21:07

          I don't believe so. I've gone through the most of the posts on g plus site and it seems users report HP intentionally removed the previous stock image on their support site so you can't roll back at all.

          @boxall: You linked a Samsung product..this is HP and that's not the multi window function they're discussing about. There's a specific HP multi window app installed as bloatware for this device. That's what causing the problems but you can't remove it because the device isn't rooted.

          I spent a few hours today reading about this device, my conclusions are if you can't root this device, it's not going to be worth the money, especially if you intend to upgrade the stock rom to OTA 4.4.2 KitKat. This will cause havoc for the device and doing nothing at all (leaving at 4.3) is a disaster as well (constant WiFi drop outs, battery draining…), so here's hope the few more devices shipped through this bargain will get someone to work out how to root this.

          I'll need to root Oneplusone to control + limit data 4g anyway-
          learning of the crap Google REgressed explicitly in android 5,
          before streaming on this wonderful display laptop.

          @daver: rule 1. Don't give Google your WiFi password.

          @kimae:

          Someone in the forums did say they disabled it.

          yes for sure this is contributing to the issues with stutter, but you can turn it off in settings which I did and its been fine since :smileyhappy:"

          @boxall: huh? I thought you are still waiting for your device. A few posts above you said the following:

          "Planned ship 11/6 and delivery 16/6 for me."

          How can you turn it off in settings without having received the device?

          @kimae: It's been on sale for a few weeks now and was mentioned in another post. Mine is expected to arrive next week.

          @Clear: read his other posts, he just bought it when this bargain was listed

          @kimae:

          Sorry I was quoting someone else in the forums.

    If only it had decent internals. Arm + Android unfortunately isn't great for laptop stuff.

    Finally a worthy successor for my humble haipad i7 <ICS/600p— found three year ago on Ozbargain. You had read my mind, or comment rather, on the dreary Asus deal the other day: just how we seem to miss such niche, giant display, sensible-resolution, CHEAP ±KB, touchscreen surfaces.

    Could not resist at this cost (±6.80cashrewards cb) AND even after considered view of Amazon, Google+ community fb. Decent tips n advice there too.

      If you ever figure out a way to root please let us know! I need to put Ubuntu on this nice device :)

        I found this guide on how to root the Slatebook 14 - Happy Rooting!

          I think this is 4.3.
