HP, the giant of the PC industry that recently made its first forays into the world of Android, has unveiled today a new device that is sure to turn some heads – the HP Slate 21, an Android-powered all-in-one computer. As its name suggests, the device features an expansive 21.5-inch display of HD (720p) Full HD (1080p) resolution, IPS LCD with wide viewing angles.

So far, details on the specs are skimpy, but we do know that a beefy Tegra 4 processor from Nvidia is humming inside the Slate 21. HP is apparently planning to sell the device as a home entertainment device, with a heavy focus on gaming, and the Tegra 4 processor should provide plenty of power for such applicati

ons.

The Slate 21 was conceived for desktop use, though we’re sure that more than a few users will be hauling it around as a mobile device . Update: the device does not contain a battery. The tablet features a kickstand on the back that allows it to recline for comfortable use.

While we’ve seen large devices such as the Slate 21 before, HP’s product may be the first AiO powered exclusively by Android. Other products, such as those from Asus or Toshiba, run Windows and Android simultaneously, and switch between the two operating systems depending on the fly.

It’s not the first time we hear of the Slate 21. The first clue about it was a benchmark result that surfaced in April. Back then, the 1.8 GHz processor managed a good, though not impressive AnTuTu score of 23584. We’ll see if the commercial version of the device is faring better.

HP hasn’t released any details on the price and availability of the Slate 21 AiO, advising Chinese media that details will be shared on a per country basis.

Update: We are attaching a press release we sourced from Engadget, which appears to be machine translated.
