HP Elite Pad 900, A Computer Tablet for Windows 8

To give its new computer tablet a premium feel, HP Elite Pad 900 has opted for a good mix of glass and aluminium.

The 10.1-inch 1280x800 p display is sealed behind a Gorilla Glass 2 and aluminium chassis. Everything is military grade and you have to just hold this device to vouch for that.

At 680 grams, HP Elite Pad 900 isn’t the lightest computer tablet, but the 9.2-mm thickness and thin edges makes it convenient to hold. The power key, auto-rotation lock, 3.5mm jack and volume controls have all been placed where they are easiest to access.

There is also a covered flap at the back that holds a slot for a SIM card for 3G connectivity along with a microSD card slot for expandable memory.

Taking a cue from Apple, HP has added a proprietary connector at the bottom for charging the tablet and connecting with the long list of accessories. The HP ElitePad 900 runs on Windows 8 Pro and is powered by 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Atom processor with 2GB RAM.

This takes care of all the regular computing without any complaints. In addition to the Windows 8 features are HP apps like Security Manager, Credential Manager, Password Manager, Device Access Manager with Just In Time Authentication and Drive Encryption.

The 1080p front facing camera can be used for high-end video conferencing. There is also an 8MP rear camera but we doubt if that would be used often. Images captured by this camera can be edited easily using the HP PageLift technology onboard.

The loud and clear audio output works well for videoconferencing and watching videos.The battery is good and lasted close to 10 hours on a single charge. That is good enough to survive a day’s work under normal circumstances.
