HP launches two new enterprise tablets, the ProPad 600 and the ElitePad 1000

In addition to the ProPad 600, HP has rolled out the red carpet for its ‘total business solution’ slate, the HP ElitePad 1000 G2. With the ElitePad 1000 comes a svelte design at 9.2mm thin and 1.5lbs, as well as Windows 8.1 Pro and options for enterprise users. The HP ElitePad 1000 features a 10.1-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio and resolution of 1920 x 1200. Under the hood lies an Intel Atom Bay Trail-T Z3795 quad-core 1.6GHz processor and integrated Intel HD Graphics, all of it accompanied by 4GB of memory and either 64GB or 128GB of storage.

Hewlett-Packard on Sunday launched a new ElitePad 1000, a Windows 8.1 tablet designed to bridge personal and professional use, and the ProPad 600, which has a lower price point. At Mobile World Congress, HP outlined the ElitePad 1000 G2, which is billed as a “total business solution.” The tablet launches in mid-March and starts at $739. HP’s Derek Everett, director of worldwide product management for commercial Windows tablets, said the ElitePad 1000 G2 is designed for flexibility with full-sized HDMI ports, a bevy of accessories and features that could make the device a laptop replacement. “No one size fits all with tablets,” said Everett. “Some need keyboards and see tablets as notebook replacements.”
