HP Pro x2 612 G1

The new 12.5-inch business tablet HP Pro x2 612 G1 will release week 34, which means in August somewhere. http://www.amazon.com/Pro-612-Tablet

The business tablet HP Pro x2 612 G1 is very similar to the new Microsoft Surface Pro 3 which release with the Intel Core i5 processor on June 20, and the i3 and i7 processor options on August 31, which may explain why HP's model is released after Microsoft's latest Surface tablet.

The HP Pro x2 612 have a different design though, as a 2-in-1 tablet with keyboard, and also have a certain level of enterprise security. Either way it's not a typical consumer tablet, so we will rarely see this tablet in the wild.
