HP ElitePad 900: The Windows 8 tablet with smart jackets launched at Rs 43,500


HP today introduced the HP ElitePad 900, a tablet that balances a beautiful design with enterprise-grade features, functionality and support.


Designed for business and government, it features HP ElitePad Smart Jackets, which add connectivity options and an additional ultra-slim battery for longer runtime, along with specific add-ons that customize the tablet for specialized uses.
The HP ElitePad is an ultrathin, lightweight tablet designed for Windows 8 that delivers features to keep IT managers happy and touts a design that employees will crave. It offers the full serviceability, enhanced security and manageability found in HP Elite PCs, and military-grade durability for drops, vibration, dust, temperature extremes and high altitude.

The unique, productivity-enhancing ecosystem of HP Smart Jackets and additional accessories designed specifically for the HP ElitePad expand the tablet’s potential, turning it into a total enterprise solution: 
  • HP ElitePad Productivity Jacket—includes an integrated keyboard, connectivity ports, SD card reader and adjustable viewing angles for a complete computing experience. 
  • HP ElitePad Expansion Jacket—adds USB, HDMI and other connectivity to get more done on the go. Adds even longer battery life when bundled with the optional HP ElitePad Jacket battery.
  • The HP ElitePad Rugged Case—provides military-grade reliability and enhances the stylish profile of the ElitePad for added protection.
  • HP ElitePad Docking Station—delivers an enterprise-class desktop experience with an added keyboard and monitor and also charges the tablet. Or, use it to set the tablet up as a secondary screen for phenomenal multitasking.
  • HP Executive Tablet Pen—lets customers write messages and notes in their natural handwriting directly on screen and then save or convert to typed text for use in other applications. 

The biggest advantage the HP ElitePad 900 has over the Surface Pro is the fact that it is currently available through official channels in India. The Surface Pro retails for $900 for the 64GB version, which roughly comes out to anything between Rs. 48,000 – Rs. 51,000, depending on the dollar rate. Even if you do decide to get the Surface from the US, besides costing just a tad more than the ElitePad 900, you would also not be eligible for any warranty or tech support in India. If peace of mind is something you value a lot, the ElitePad 900 is definitely a much better option as it will come with HP’s standard 1-year warranty.
What’s more is that HP also has a bunch of accessories available for the ElitePad 900 such as a sleeve which adds expansion options along with an additional battery to the setup, a stylus, various kinds of keyboards etc., to make sure that all your needs are fulfilled. The HP ElitePad 900 can be had for Rs. 43,500 from most authorized HP outlets across the country.
