HP launches the bezel-heavy 7 Plus for $99

How low can quad-core go? HP's answering that question by launching the HP 7 Plus, a 7-inch Android tablet that features four Cortex A7 cores. Leaked earlier this month, the 7 Plus is the most affordable tablet offered by HP.

In terms of hardware, you're looking at a 7-inch display with a resolution of 1024 x 600, an Allwinner Technology A31 SoC that features four Cortex A7 cores clocked at 1 GHz along with a Power VR SGX544MP2 GPU. Although Allwinner isn't a well-known brand in the US, its products power a lot of budget smartphones and tablets in China.

It isn't the fastest tablet in the world, but remember it does only cost $99. If you're interested, head over to the source link to buy the tablet direct from HP.
