Android monoblocks - upcoming trend? upd
While CES 2014 is preparing to launch the masses of geeks into its pavilions, already on day zero a squall of premature announcements and news comes from there.
The new remote and smart home from Samsung, thinner laptops, tablets, transformers and fitness insoles. But all this is quite predictable and of little interest from the point of view of innovations. But there is something that caught my eye. Several companies rolled out desktop-oriented Android devices, namely, all-in-one computers. Look under the cat, if you wonder what it is and what it is eating.

HP introduced the HP Slate 21 Pro. The computer has a 21.5 "IPS touch screen (1920 × 1080) and runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, but it can also be used as a touch monitor for a Windows computer via an HDMI input and a USB cable for transmitting touches.
Works Slate 21 Pro on a 4-core processor NVIDIA Tegra 4, has 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of flash memory. In addition to these, the following communication tools are available: Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, Ethernet, three USB 2.0 ports, SD card reader, 720p webcam, microphone. Users are also provided with 50 GB of cloud box space. The cost of HP Slate 21 Pro complete with a wired keyboard and mouse is $ 400, which is quite good for such a universal solution.
The device is positioned as a solution to simple business problems, as well as for training. For the convenience of users, applications for emulating Windows programs are preinstalled on it.
upd. 07.01. 15:13 In pursuit of HP, Lenovo showed its Monoblock Tablet on Android.
Lenovo N308 is a 19.5-inch monoblock with a screen resolution of 1600 × 900, an NVIDIA Tegra 4 processor, 2 GB of RAM, an adjustable stand, a multi-format card reader, Bluetooth support, two USB ports and a 720p embedded webcam. It all works on Adnroid Jelly Bean 4.2.2. The weight of the device is 4.6 kg with a thickness of 3.3 cm; The stand allows you not only to tilt the screen, but also to position it horizontally. The initial price of the Lenovo N308 will be $ 450 on the US market in February.
Unlike most similar devices, this device does not know how to act as a monitor for a desktop system or laptop. Lenovo's strange solution, which significantly reduces the attractiveness of the N308, turning it essentially just into a stationary 20-inch Android tablet. However, the device is endowed with a battery that provides up to 3 hours of battery life.
What do you think, will this trend (which so far, of course, not) be supported by a mass audience and encourage Google to create its own ecosystem, with a full response of Windows and OS X or is it a very narrowly focused product that can “not shoot”?
