(amazon) - HP Slate Android AIO, $357

[Tocsin_786]

the price is hidden till you add it to cart. its 160 bucks off original MSRP, it runs android kitkat. i have no idea what this can be used for. maybe for someone who just doesn't need a slow PC in that price range because all they do is browse the web. or a good thing to put in a kitchen instead of a normal AIO. it looks quite clean and beautiful. its a HUGE tablet basically, for that price you get 1080p, a 17 inch screen. its a nice deal for sure. 

 

• 2GB DDR3 RAM
• 32GB Solid-State Drive
• 17.3-Inch Screen, Intel HD graphics
• Android 4.4 KitKat, 7.45-hour battery life
• Intel M-Celeron N2807

Wait wat

 

How can it run ARM programs if it's using an intel celeron processor...  I though that was x86

 

Please inform me

It doesn't. It's running an x86 version of Android, like other Android phones and tablets with x86 chips (but most you'll find are Atom rather then Celeron).

According to someone who works with Intel SOC-based devices on Reddit

 

I work with Intel soc based android tablets.

Most major applications are compiled with both the arm and x86 native libraries so there is essentially no performance loss.

For other smaller apps, a library called Houdini is used to convert all applications from the arm instruction set to x86 on the fly. I estimate this causes about a 5% performance hit. For 99.9 % of tasks you wouldn't know the difference, especially because the processor is faster to begin with.

The cases where an application crashes are usually application issues to begin with and are able to be replicated on a nexus device with the same OS version. So this isn't really an Intel specific problem

The Intel soc really shines in CPU benchmarks as you noted, however the GPU marks may not be as high as the latest and greatest arm chip. Battery life is also great, I don't know specific numbers but bay trail is highly praised

I don't think you can beat Intel tablets at the moment from a price/ performance standpoint.(so long as the other specs of the device are up to par) Intel is selling the chips at cost or a loss to gain market share, so I would take advantage now, as the company usually sells their chips at a 40% margin.

A lot of people, really. Android devices powered by X86 Intel chips are becoming increasingly popular very quickly, due to their great price-to-performance ratio, like the Asus Zenfone 2. 

 

X86 and ARM versions of Android do use different apps, however most newer and popular apps are available on X86. I have an Intel Atom-based tablet (Asus MemoPad 7 ME176X) and even a while ago when I bought it on release, when low-cost Atom based tablets were only starting to bloom, there weren't any apps that I use regularly that weren't available due to not having an X86 version.

i would also say that, but this cant be compared with anything else. its a huge portal AIO. not a tablet.
