The HP ElitePad 900 is a business-worthy Windows 8 tablet that a consumer could love. The jackets remind us of the grand days of the HP iPAQ and its sleeves: they make the device useful in a variety of scenarios while maintaining portability and augmen...

Abstract: When you think of tablets you probably don't think of the workplace, although some are trying to embrace the technology. Even the ads for Microsoft's Surface tablet, while showing workers using them, are filled with dancing and acrobatics that don't reall...
Solid build quality, Good battery life, Thin and comfortable to hold, Mobile broadband option
Necessary accessories add to cost, Minimal scope for expansion without accessories, Proprietary charging connector, Lacklustre performance
The HP ElitePad 900's combination of a basic Atom-based tablet and a range of optional extras is an expensive way to build a work-ready system. Without the extras, it's hampered as an office device by its limited connectivity and lack of a physical keyboa...
MILSPEC 810-G tested (should withstand water splashes, dust, and the occasional drop), Sleek, smart design, Comprehensive collection of selection of accessories available, More than seven hours of battery life
Very slow performance with application software, Maximum of 64MB of storage (32MB standard), No USB ports on the tablet itself (only on the dock or optional cases)
A rugged, but basic tablet offering oodles of optional accessories, but only lackluster performance....
Clamshell Keeps tablet in place, Magnets provide additional display stability
Keys often stick, Poor weight distribution
The productivity jacket works, but it never feels like its adding to the user experience. The expansion jacket and HP docking station both managed to make the HP ElitePad feel like a more complete device. That isn't the case with the productivity jacket.I...

Abstract: With the ElitePad 900, HP is making a better case than I expected for the business-grade, Atom-powered Windows 8 tablet. Using roughly the same form factor as the HP Envy X2 (sans the keyboard dock), the ElitePad has been designed from the inside out...

The HP ElitePad 900 is a well-built business tablet with an impressive array of add-ons and accessories
The base tablet starts out expensive, and those docks and jacket accessories add even more to the cost. Intel's Atom performance continues to underwhelm
If someone else is footing the bill, HP's expensive ElitePad 900 and its accessory ecosystem cover a lot of bases, but this isn't going to be a consumer crossover product.

The HP ElitePad 900 is a well-built and nicely designed Windows 8 tablet aimed at business users. It's no great performer, although battery life is decent. If you need an extremely portable Windows PC for around £600, you could do a lot worse. But you...
Versatile Smart Jacket design adds ports, a keyboard, and can extend battery life, Nice-looking screen, Tablet is relatively light
Tablet lacks connectivity without Smart Jackets, which cost extra, Productivity Jacket (keyboard) is expensive and disappointing, Lower-resolution screen than competing devices
HP's latest business tablet is a versatility virtuoso if you opt for the port-expanding and keyboard-adding accessories. But it suffers the same limitations as other Atom-powered slates. And its keyboard dock doesn't feel like it's built for business...
