The HP Slate is designed as a computer. Not so for the iPad, so I guess we're still comparing Apples to oranges... :shrug:

Hardly. The HP was intended as a tablet device with full laptop level abilities. The main comparison is on the interface more then anyting (the multi-touch) and it fails. At that point it becomes an overpriced Laptop without a keyboard.
What do you want an HP slate or sightly more powerful (and likely better coolded) laptop? At this point I'd still take that Windows laptop over a multi-touch one, at least until Microsoft puts some serious work into a multi-touch system.
Slates, tablets and laptops are computers with a different user interface. The iPad has the possibility of being a computer but is limited by its OS. That was my point.
