A new Windows 10 tablet has been revealed and it's making all its competitors green with envy.

HP Commercial Mobility and Software Business Personal Systems Vice President and General Manager Michael Park said in a statement, "The HP Envy 8 Note combines the portability of a Windows 10 optimized tablet with a nearly full-size premium keyboard that doubles as a protective case for the tablet."

HP Envy 8 Note, the newest Windows 10 tablet, has an 8-inch screen, weighs 0.8 pounds, and is sleek at 7.7 millimeters. It is available with a 10-inch aluminum Note Keyboard Folio, a Bluetooth accessory that allows owners to use the tablet in landscape or portrait mode. The said keyboard has 1.5 millimeters deep buttons.

Additionally, the device has a dock at the back for easy storage that is perfect for traveling. It also comes with a stylus pen that activates a preinstalled HP Instant Note that can be used for easier note-taking and Microsoft Office for productivity.

HP Envy 8 has dual cameras —  one in front with two megapixels and one at the back with five megapixels and autofocus feature. Images are displayed on a 1920 x 1200 resolution HD screen, layered with a strong Corning Gorilla Glass. The tablet runs on an Intel Atom x5-Z8300 central processing unit (CPU) and has battery life of up to 6.25 hours. Its 1080p HD quality is great for those who love watching videos or playing games on their tablet.

The HP Envy 8 Note supports 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) connectivity, which Verizon plan holders can take advantage of. The tablet uses a micro subscriber identity module (SIM) and has a microSD card reader. A micro USB 2.0 OTG port is also available for charging and connecting accessories.

HP Envy 8 Note will be available for retail sale on Nov. 8. The tablet and stylus pen cost $329, while the HP bundle that includes the Note Keyboard Folio is priced at $429.
