A new set of leaked specs of the unannounced HP Envy 8 5000 surfaced online.
The leak came from a German website WinFuture.de. If the leak proves to be true, the upcoming tablet from HP will sport an 8-inch display with a body made entirely of aluminum.
At the heart of the tablet is the Intel Atom Z8300, also known as Cherry Trail, which is a quad-core processor with a reported clock speed of 1.44GHz. The tablet will sport 2GB of internal memory and it will be released in two storage variants; 32GB and 64GB. Users demanding additional storage speed need not to worry since the tablet sports a microSD slot for storage expansion.
According to Window Central, the HP Envy 8 5000 has a 3950mAh battery pack which should be able to power the tablet for up to seven hours.
Additional peripherals include a 10-inch detachable keyboard and a stylus designed by Wacom. The tablet has an app that was developed exclusively for the stylus. It allows user to quickly access several features through a drop-down menu.
According to NeoWin, the HP Envy 8 5000 will have Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac connectivity and a support for 4G LTE networks.
