The tablet will be fairly light (0.68 kg), not thick (9.2 mm), with a 10.1-inch screen clad in an aluminum case. It is also reported that the device will have a pretty good battery life - about 10 hours.
Sales of the first HP tablet on the WebOS operating system - the 9.7-inch TouchPad - have completely failed. "Tablet" entered the US stores in July 2011, but after a few months, the company said that it would stop producing products based on its own operating system. To get rid of the remnants of the TouchPad in warehouses, HP lowered the price of the model from 16 GB of memory from 499 dollars to 99 dollars. After the failure of the TouchPad (as well as two WebOS-smartphones Veer and Pre3), the head of the company Leo Apotheker announced his resignation. Meg Whitman, who became the new CEO of HP, refused to put an end to the tablets, and decided to install the Microsoft system on them.
