A look at HP's first 8-inch Android tablet (pictures)

On the back, there's an 8-megapixel camera. Inside, the Slate 8 packs an Nvidia Tegra 4 CPU and 2GB of RAM.

Depending on the model you choose, the Slate 8 comes with 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. There's a microSD card slot so you can also add extra memory.

There's a Micro-USB port to charge the HP Slate 8 pro and a Micro-HDMI for video out. The tablet's red speaker grills are a nod to the Beats Audio technology used in the Slate 8 to give audio quality a boost.

There's an optional stand, built by HP, that you can purchase with the Slate 8 Pro to prop it up to watch videos.
