Default HP Pro 8 Tablet

During recent years, HP has issued ca. 3 tablets with names similar to
Pro 8. This is about the most recent one called HP Pro 8 Tablet issued
2017 in India thus far.

Tablet News at
https://tablet-news.com/hp-pro-8-tab...rise-features/
describes a few aspects of the tablet, fails to mention resolution,
ratio, operating system and version, thickness, weight, has recently
started to moderate its rare discussion and promptly rejects the
following message, with which I also provide the missing essential
information:


What does "sunlight readable screen" mean - matte or glare?

According to http://gadgets.ndtv.com/hp-pro-8-4383 the resolution is
only 1200 x 800, which might explain the good battery life and, if
correct, means a barely acceptable 3:2 ratio. However, the display
seen on a frontal picture there suggests a totally useless 16:10
ratio. Android 6.0 is a terrible security problem and an unproductive
operating system. Only Indian enterprises might tolerate the
advertisement "designed for enterprises". 11.9mm is too thick and the
weight of 488g is too high for casual use and can only be tolerated
for dedicated ruggedised use.

"Sunlight readable screen" sounds so promising but where is the
Windows tablet with matte QXGA (that is, 4:3) display and thin, light
design for long handholding but good battery duration nevertheless?

The best place to get information, is from HP. It has all the same
information as "promotional web articles".

http://www8.hp.com/in/en/products/la...l?oid=16129873

http://h20195.www2.hp.com/v2/getpdf....mode=bookmarks

"This product has Android 6.0 Marshmallow Operating System pre-installed.
Upgrade to Android Nougat available by the end of 2017."

"Size 8 inch diagonal
Resolution 800x1280
Brightness Typical 500 nits (cd/m2) --- helps in sunlight...
"

You won't know whether it's worth buying, until someone
actually receives a review unit. And does a review.

It's basically an "eight inch SmartPhone for $300".

This is a good value for a tablet.
