HP Slate 500

Despite inevitable comparisons, HP's first tablet isn't really an Apple iPad competitor at all. With Windows 7 Professional and other business-friendly features, it's aimed straight at the corporate set.

Well designed. Two cameras. Bundled with useful accessories including a carrying case and a dock/stand with additional USB ports and HDMI out. Since its a Windows-based device, you can install most PC software. Supports Flash.

Lacks touch-screen customization. Windows elements aren't always finger-friendly, so the bundled digital pen or a connected keyboard/mouse are a must for heavy-duty productivity.

If one doesn't need or desire active pen based digital ink in a slate computer, then the HP Slate 500 probably isn't the best choice for that person. The 500's first best destiny is to be a digital inkpad. Because of its form factor, weight, dimensions...
