HP 7 Plus Tablet: “Big Name But Less Fame”

August 25, 2014 by Tablet Guru Leave a Comment

Hewlett-Packard (HP) has came up with a tablet in India market named HP 7 plus which is to be criticized. The tab has got nothing new to offer other than its brand. The tab cost Rs 5,999 and it comes with outdated features and hardware configuration. Many other tab making companies are offering better options at lower price.

HP known for its high quality and latest laptop & tablet. The name is enough for a person to create a logo in their mind about their performance. But in order to target the budget segment they seems to have compromised with HP 7 plus quality.

HP 7 plus is totally outdated and it is not recommenced by My Tablet Guru team.

This tablet has came with few features but the price is also an important factor. The price charged are comparatively higher than other tabs with same or better features . The other manufacturer are coming with less price to fulfill the needs of that segment .

There are also complain from the user are that the sensor are not performing good for racing games and the battery backup is not meeting the standard.

Lenovo A1000L : Less For More

February 14, 2014 by Tablet Guru Leave a Comment

Lenovo A1000L is their latest addition to A1000 series at a price tag of Rs 6999 as currently listed on flipkart. The A1000 series is the introductory and affordable line-up of tablets available from Lenovo. It runs on Mediatek’s 1 GHz MT8317 Dual Core Processor with Android 4.1 Jellybean. For now, black colour is the only available option. It has 7 inch capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. There is only one camera which is front-facing at 0.3 MP. Internal memory is around 8 GB with microSD slot for memory expansion. Other features include front-facing speaker, accelerometer, wi-fi, microUSB connectivity with USB OTG compatibility etc.

Under the Rs 10k bracket for tablets, Micromax has been the frontrunner for quite some time now. Players like Karbonn, Lava, DOMO, HCL, Lenovo or Datawind (of Aakash’s fame) have been trying hard to pose a worthy challenge to dominance of Micromax, but in vain.

The Downside :

Its predecessor, Idea Tab A1000, sports a number a features that are not there in A1000L given the fact that it is available for nearly the same price. A few are listed below :

2. IPS display with 5 point multi-touch

3. GSM SIM slot (2G)

4. 1 GB DDR2 RAM

5. Bluetooth connectivity

6. Dual Front Facing Speaker with Dolby Digital Plus sound enhancement

It is difficult to comprehend as to what drove Lenovo to market a tab with comparatively inferior configuration at this price. Nevertheless, if you are not a hardcore user and someone who just wants use a tablet without much hassle and complicated functionality, these configurations will be fine.
