Hewlett-Packard has officially introduced a new tablet aimed at business consumers, the HP ElitePad 900. A Windows 8 OS tablet, it has an Intel “Atom Z2760” processor which is also known as the “Clover Trail” powering it.
Key features of the tablet include:
• A 10.1-inch diagonal display, and the tablet is 9.2 mm thin.

Tablets that use both the Atom and Windows 8 will be able to run widely used software such as Word and Excel, and connect to peripherals such as printers thus making them ideal for business users.
It also lengthens battery life, enabling tablets to run 10-plus hours of streaming high-definition video, said Intel applications processor division chief Eric Reid at the official launch of the processors last week.
