The editors didn't like
Low display resolution
Less internal memory
The average 1280x800 resolution didn't really do it for us
Peripherals are quite expensive
Average processor
Battery life not up to the mark
No built-in USB/ micro-USB port
Not exactly a value for money proposition
No snap mode due to low resolution
No USB ports on the tablet itself
Additional accessories required to make the most of the tablet
Solid build quality, Good battery life, Thin and comfortable to hold, Mobile broadband option
Necessary accessories add to cost, Minimal scope for expansion without accessories, Proprietary charging connector, Lacklustre performance
The HP ElitePad 900's combination of a basic Atom-based tablet and a range of optional extras is an expensive way to build a work-ready system. Without the extras, it's hampered as an office device by its limited connectivity and lack of a physical keyboa...
MILSPEC 810-G tested (should withstand water splashes, dust, and the occasional drop), Sleek, smart design, Comprehensive collection of selection of accessories available, More than seven hours of battery life
Very slow performance with application software, Maximum of 64MB of storage (32MB standard), No USB ports on the tablet itself (only on the dock or optional cases)
A rugged, but basic tablet offering oodles of optional accessories, but only lackluster performance....
Clamshell Keeps tablet in place, Magnets provide additional display stability
Keys often stick, Poor weight distribution
The productivity jacket works, but it never feels like its adding to the user experience. The expansion jacket and HP docking station both managed to make the HP ElitePad feel like a more complete device. That isn't the case with the productivity jacket.I...
Abstract: With the ElitePad 900, HP is making a better case than I expected for the business-grade, Atom-powered Windows 8 tablet. Using roughly the same form factor as the HP Envy X2 (sans the keyboard dock), the ElitePad has been designed from the inside out...

The HP ElitePad 900 is a well-built business tablet with an impressive array of add-ons and accessories
The base tablet starts out expensive, and those docks and jacket accessories add even more to the cost. Intel's Atom performance continues to underwhelm
If someone else is footing the bill, HP's expensive ElitePad 900 and its accessory ecosystem cover a lot of bases, but this isn't going to be a consumer crossover product.

The HP ElitePad 900 is a well-built and nicely designed Windows 8 tablet aimed at business users. It's no great performer, although battery life is decent. If you need an extremely portable Windows PC for around £600, you could do a lot worse. But you...
Versatile Smart Jacket design adds ports, a keyboard, and can extend battery life, Nice-looking screen, Tablet is relatively light
Tablet lacks connectivity without Smart Jackets, which cost extra, Productivity Jacket (keyboard) is expensive and disappointing, Lower-resolution screen than competing devices
HP's latest business tablet is a versatility virtuoso if you opt for the port-expanding and keyboard-adding accessories. But it suffers the same limitations as other Atom-powered slates. And its keyboard dock doesn't feel like it's built for business...
Sturdy build quality, Flexibility via accessories, Longlasting battery
Mediocre performance, No industrystandard ports built in, Cost of accessories
It doesn't really make sense to think of the HP ElitePad as a budget tablet. While the base model without any add-ons is competitively priced, the real strength of this device lies in its flexibility. With a cornucopia of accessories available, it is abl...

16x10 aspect ratio on display. Simple design. Full size HDMI on Expansion Jacket. Enterprise ready accessories. Has NFC.
No ports on tablet chassis, requires Expansion Jacket for USB, HDMI, etc. No alternate charging. MicroSD and SIM slot requires paper clip. Limited multimedia creation. Doesn't work with Wacom digitizer stylus
The HP ElitePad 900 brings Windows 8 slate tablet computing to SMB and enterprise businesses, but unless you're standardized on HP products, there are better choices out there....
