“Enterprise workforce has to be extremely mobile today and hence they need a device that can help them to be more productive, while ensuring security aspects. The HP Elitepad is that perfect device for today’s mobile workforce as it combines great style and user experience along with manageability and security features”, said Sunish Raghavan, Head, Commercial PC Category, Printing and Personal Systems Group, HP India.

The ElitePad’s thoughtfully designed accessories ecosystem allows the tablet to work as a primary notebook or a customised vertical solution to meet customer needs.

A Tablet That Is Made For Business
Ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, the HP ElitePad offers a 10.1-inch diagonal display, weighs just 0.63-kilos and measures 9.2 mm thin. The 16-by-10 aspect ratio maximises the display area for ideal viewing of traditional business applications, as well as video content. Precision crafted, with an eye toward fit and finish, the HP ElitePad uses stylish, premium materials such as CNC-machined aluminum and Corning Gorilla Glass 2.

Powered by next-generation Intel mobile processors, the HP ElitePad delivers PC productivity for those on the go and Intel x86 compatibility for existing business application support. It is optimised for Windows 8 and supports touch- and pen- input. The HP ElitePad also provides power efficiency and smartphone-style convenience with compatibility for familiar Windows applications, as well as easy integration into existing IT environments.

Loaded With Tools For Mobile Work Or Play
The HP ElitePad tablet’s 1080p front-facing video camera and 8 megapixel (MP) rear camera with an LED flash and included CyberLink YouCam software help users easily communicate face to face, create high-definition web videos or record training videos without high production costs.

Powered by technology from HP Labs, the company’s central research arm, new HP PageLift is an application that automatically trims, and correctly lights and orients a captured image of a whiteboard, paper contract or other document so it is ready to use or share without requiring manual editing.
Users can easily print directly from their HP ElitePad to any ePrint enabled HP printers with the preloaded ePrint driver, or to a networked HP printer without the need for downloading drivers.

The HP ElitePad also helps small workgroups connect with HP Wireless Hotspot, a desktop application that allows users to share a wireless internet connection and network bandwidth.

Additional user-experience software includes the CyberLink Media suite, which enables users to manage and create audio and video content with the same easy-to-use interface as other HP business PCs. Users can also record and listen to audio with a stereo microphone and headset jack that feature the richness of SRS Audio.

Manageability, Deployment And Security For IT Environments
The HP ElitePad offers a long life cycle, stable image, and HP Global Series Support, all of which IT managers expect in an enterprise tablet. It also features a one-year base warranty, with the option for a three-year warranty via HP Care Pack services in select countries. The HP ElitePad is fully serviceable with an optional, industry-unique service tool for HP Self-Maintainers that allows customers to access the panel, battery, motherboard and unibody chassis, helping reduce downtime and keep sensitive data and devices in-house.

HP has also announced a new HP Multi-Tablet Charging Module, which quickly and easily charges and stores up to 10 tablet PCs with just one power outlet. Suitable for a range of different work environments, the module secures all docked tablets with a locking mechanism and a keyed lock on the fold-back doors. The HP Multi-Tablet charging module helps areas like nurses’ stations, classrooms and other workspaces stay tidy while keeping tablets charged and secure for when users need them.

It works with any tablet device up to 10.1 diagonal inches, and is ideal for use with the HP ElitePad tablet and the HP ENVY x2 notebook— which doubles as tablet—whether the notebook is being used standalone or with an HP Smart Jacket or keyboard.
