The Slate 7 Extreme

HP's 7-inch Slate 7 Extreme is a unique Android tablet, featuring front-facing speakers and a stylus. It's also the first Android tablet to get the Camera Awesome app, a camera that has only been on iOS until now.

The tablet has a 1,280x800-pixel-resolution IPS display.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
