We check out HP's tablet that means business.
We've just got our hands on HP's ElitePad 900 G1, which runs a full version of Windows 8. While other tablets, such as the Surface Pro, boast a full version of Windows, HP's offering is business-focused. This could mean that it'd be better adopted into HP's bread and butter market of enterprises. This could be an important product for HP, as it recently said that it is shifting its resources from PCs to tablets. Of course, it's relatively modest Intel Atom Z2760 could be a limiting factor, but we'll let you know if it is in a follow-up coming soon.

1anonymous@guest , February 28, 2013 2:22 PMHaving played with one myself, there is no question that the processor lacks some performance against the "Core I" processors, however its certainly very usable and a lot better than the old Atom chips. Definitely competent enough for an exec who wants email and internet access, or someone who is not a heavy user. Also, In my opinion, the Elitepad having DOUBLE the battery life as a "Core I" makes it very attractive.
