The $100 HP 7 Plus offers quad-core power on the cheap

If you’re in the market for a new tablet but you’re balling on a budget, the $100 HP 7 Plus might be a contender. This low-priced slab features a 1GHz Allwinner A31 ARM Cortex-A7 quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage space, a humble 2-megapixel rear-facing shooter with a lackluster 0.3Mp front-facing camera. These aforementioned goodies are powered by Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and are wrapped up in a 7-inch 1,024 x 600 IPS display.

The HP 7 Plus’ hardware and software may not compete with purebred Android tablets like the Nexus 7, however Hewlett-Packard’s entry-level slate might make for a decent starter tablet for someone new to the world of mobile computing.
