Bought this from Tesco back in 2013, ended up costing me £80 back then.
I still have it, but I have been looking for a newer, better one for a while now. To be honest I wouldn't spend £50 on it now, I'd go with the chewi one for around £10 more if I was thinking of buying this.
The HP Slate 7 is slow, does freeze and watch out for the wifi cutting out, which can only be switched back on by switching the whole tablet off and on.

HP are an excellent manufacturer (the high end stuff is excellent) However I don't know why they cheapen their name by producing cheap HP branded stuff like this, they should have another brand name for this low end rubbish.

For the same price I got the HP *STEAM* 7! At least it's a windows tablet (upgraded to windows 10) and for the price couldn't really ask for much more

Yup, impressed by our HP Stream 7 (NB not an HP Slate 7). Daughter uses it at school, with Office sync'ing through the cloud to her desktop at home. So, work done at home can be referenced in the class, classwork put on the tablet can be expanded/worked on later at home on Full HD screen etc. With an (extra cost) MS Miracast dongle, she can do stuff like running presentations from it to the Classroom TV. Works well, rugged enough, battery life fine...

Would be better off getting the new £50 Amazon tablet.
