Posted: 24 Aug 2013 12:40 AM PDT Editor's Rating: User Rating: Good: The HP SlateBook x2 tablet includes a physical keyboard hub, dual batteries, full USB and HDMI ports, and two storage expansion slots. Bad: The screen has a constant yellowish tint, apps take their time to load, the keyboard is cramped, and the tablet's ridges are distracting when you attempt to hold it in one hand. The price feels high given what you get overall, and there's no GPS hardware. Bottom Line: Though it boasts plenty of ports and a physical keyboard, the SlateBooks x2's offerings don't quite match its $480 price. [Read more] |

Bad: Some interface elements are slow to load or missing. The process for creating playlists is unclear. The app crashes randomly. Bottom Line: Radical.FM is good for streaming radio, but suffers from low server capacity and user interface issues, making it hard to recommend at this point. [Read more] |
