Verdict
According to HP, the HP 8 is 'big on performance, slim in style, and small on price.' The device arrives with a high quality display, marginally larger from regular 7-inchers, making it an apt gadget to play, watch and surf. A powerful configuration complements the display pretty well. A great tablet to go if a great camera is not your priority.
