HP has officially launched the HP Slatebook x2 on their web site for U.S. customers. The convertible tablet device is listed as being available in August 2013 with a starting price of $480. The Slatebook x2 is an Android tablet that comes with a detachable keyboard similar to the ASUS Transformer line of devices. The Slatebook x2 is also one of the first devices to hit the market with NVIDIA's new Tegra 4 processor.

The keyboard will benefit buyers beyond making it easier to create content on a tablet device. It also adds an extra battery pack for extended life, a couple USB ports for peripherals to be added, and a standard SD card reader. The tablet portion itself has its own microSD card slot to go with the 10.1-inch full HD 1080p screen and Android 4.2.2 operating system.
