Despite their capabilities, tablets are still more of a luxury item rather than a necessity. While Apple’s iPad and iPad Mini still sell at good volumes, it along with other Android tablets have seen sales decline, likely due to the higher price tag they carry. The key is being able to offer a solid experience at a price that consumers are comfortable “throwing away” for a luxury item. HP has released a new Android tablet, the HP Plus 7, that hits the sweet spot of an overall decent experience (at least we are assuming from the specs) at only $100 USD. The HP Plus 7 features a 1024 x 600 display with quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor at 1 Ghz with 1GB of RAM, neither of which will knock anyone’s socks off, but still are decent nonetheless. The HP Plus 7 also includes 8 GB of onboard storage with a MicroSD slot for expandable storage and 802.11n wireless connectivity. The tablet does feature both a rear-facing 2MP camera and 0.7MP front-facing camera; again, nothing to write home about but decent enough for the occasional video chat. Unfortunately, the tablet does not include Bluetooth, but HP is throwing in 25 GB of cloud storage via Box free with every purchase. Battery life will also be a trade-off for this budget tablet, as it’s 2800mAh battery will only last for about 6 hours of use. The HP Plus 7 weighs in at about 0.65 pounds.
