The HP Slate now available in the States

The HP Slate is now available in American markets for $799. It is without doubt designed for business use, but the specs suggest it could perform well for most uses. Windows 7 is the brains behind the unit, but you also get solid state storage, USB 2.0, an 8.9″ WSVGA screen and up to 5 hours of battery life which sounds good when you consider the processor is running at 1.86 GHz.
