While it won't be available til August, today we're getting up close and personal with the new Tegra-toting tablet. With a Transformer-inspired design, Android 4.2 and more you'll want to take a peek below.

The folks from ASUS might have revolutionized the way we use and enjoy tablets, mainly Android tablets, but today HP is the first to offer it with NVIDIA's brand new and impressive quad-core Tegra 4 mobile processor. Just like the popular Transformer series, the HP Slatebook x2 will be an Android tablet that docks into a keyboard for that full laptop experience.

Toshiba Excite X10 Hands-On

This is undoubtedly Toshiba's best tablet to date, and has a great thin form factor. There was no lag while operating the device on the showroom floor, but there weren't many strenuous programs preloaded on it to give it a true test. It comes in at .3 inches thin with an aluminum backing, and is running Android 3.2 (Honeycomb) - it will be updated to Android 4.0 after release. We saw earlier that the Excite X10 had a generous 10.1" 1280x800 display, 1GB RAM, and ran over a 1.2GHz TI OMAP 4430 processor. There is both a 5MP rear camera, and a 1.3MP front facing video cam. As you can see, it runs perfectly smooth in the demo, so the final model will likely be even better. It will launch at $529.99 for the 16GB, and a definite release date is not yet determined. Until now, Toshiba's tablets haven't been quite eye-friendly. But if this new style continues and they drop the price a little bit, they could have a great selling product. [gallery]

Another tablet, the G-Slate, is soon to be released by LG. This device will be 4G capable and also run Android 3.0 Honeycomb optimized for tablet computers. No hardware information has been discussed concerning this tablet thus far, but it will be interesting to directly compare it to the recently released information concerning the Motorola XOOM. Information on the pricing and date of release is extremely thin, but we suspect it will be a first quarter release. T-Mobile's YouTube account luckily posted a video showing off Honeycomb running smoothly on the G-Slate: [youtube 7fiZt6Hws0s] [Via SlashGear]
