Beautiful Androidlaptop with a few quirks

I have seen the offer at Amazon.com too late and therefore bought at Amazon.com namely the variant offered there with US keyboard and 16GB eMMC 32GB place here. Whether the unit has a German keyboard here, I do not know. The direct purchase at Amazon.com, incidentally, was not possible, but a "package forwarding service" no problem.

The national keyboard layout is set as desired. Because I write blind me the US-keys do not interfere much. Otherwise, the keyboard makes sense adapted to Android, that is, there are special keys for Androidfunktionen (Home, all open apps, search, PrtScrn for a screenshot). I immediately can write well on your keyboard because it is suitable for 14 "device just relatively large. USB mouse ran immediately.

The highlight is the loud sound (for a laptop) and the colorful full HD display, which is very dependent on the viewing angle, however, but just touch. And without Android Touch makes m. E. also no fun. What bothers me a bit, is that the screen does not rotate. This has been given up the HP Android version. My PDF reader, however, can turn the page itself, the Kindle can be switched on 2spaltige display.

The device is fanless, therefore makes no noise.

As a device for the holidays and the children otherwise I think it's very fine. For the price you get current m. W. still nothing with Windows, fanless and Full-HD display.

My Apps run so far all, the device has short after start of Android 4.3. updated to 4.4.2, which could not be prevented. Firefox with desktop view (add-ons: Desktop by default, Adblock Plus, Cleanquit) and nachinstalliertem Flash allows for normal Web browsing. TomTom Europe looks on such a device (with GPS!) From already great because of all the large screen is used. Also, some other apps do not use the entire screen, unfortunately, all. In particular, the apps in portrait orientation are angry because, so they can not be adapted to the screen by rotating.

I use even a 64 GB SD card. Although one must know that the rights management for SD cards was tightened massively with Android 4.4.2. Ie., An app can write only in their own directory, albeit read in all. Decoded, 1: 1 copied DVDs can be in any case with the Wondershare player (from the Google Play Store) easily from SD card play. With Total Commander for Android should be the connected by a via the USB 3 and 2, let external hard drive in the directory Total Commander write on the external SD card, I could not test, because I so far the micro SD card have loaded on an SD card adapter to a Windows PC.

Meanwhile emerged problems that would annoy me in continuous use, described in the HP forum:
Slate book 14 Deep Sleep problem - HP Support Forum - 4924154 [Internet]. [Cited 2015 Mar 10]. Available from: [...]
If the link in the review should not survive: The point is that the unit per hour in standby loses approximately 5-10% battery capacity currently under Android 4.4.2, because the latest version of Google prevents play services that the processor Deep Sleep comes. Even devices from other manufacturers with Android 4.4.2 and the Tegra 4 processor are affected. I manage myself so that I intalliert all apps, and then have the Google Play services back to the factory version. Then the device behaves as each tablet, or about 1-2% battery loss overnight.

But a comparable Windows device (Touch, Full HD, or eMMC SSD) starts 3/2015 until about 500 to (but GPS?). And Windows should it for the kids no longer be ...
