New HP Tablets for Fall 2013

HP has just spent the last couple of days launching a very wide choice of tablets and ultrabooks. As much as 9 of them altogether, ranging from 7-inch Android tablets with integrated stylus pen, to 13.3-inch Windows 8.1 ultrabooks.
The choice of processors also range from the latest Intel and NVIDIA processors to AMD and Marvell processors.

The release of these HP tablets and ultrabooks will begin on October 16 in the US, and continue throughout November. Some of these devices have not been priced yet, but will be closer to shipping day.

HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook
13.3-inch Windows 8.1 ultrabook. With a Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB of SSD memory, and 4GB of RAM.
HP’s tagline: “Unbelievable performance into unprecedented design.”
But they might be right. To start off, it features a sleek aluminum construction with a backlit keyboard and a HP Vivid HD touchscreen that can be tapped, swiped, or driven from the extra wide HP Control Zone trackpad.
The HP Control Zone track pad is available for the first time with the new HP Spectre 13 Ultrabook. It adds an extended area to the left and right of the touch pad. The thinking goes that by using HP Control Zone, users can more easily access the Windows 8 interface features like Charms, flip and snap, along with a set of custom gestures right from the palm rest.
Battery life is a maximum of 9 hours with mixed use.
Release date: November 4.
Price from: $999.99.
