At A Glance

Samsung's Android 4.0 tablet is neither the sleekest nor the lightest, but its excellent stylus input and accompanying, though limited, software distinguishes it from the pack.

A tiny touchpad coupled with buggy software makes the HP SlateBook x2 disappointing as both a laptop and a tablet.

If you're in the market for an Android tablet, the new Nexus 7 is the one to get. And if you're got the old one lying around, considering trading it in for this one.
