HP Refreshes Its Tablet Lineup
HP today unveiled seven new tablets and an ultrabook/tablet hybrid designed for doctors, retailers and other professionals. The personal-computer maker is betting that the eight new products designed for specific industries will give it an edge over manufacturers of general-purpose devices.
New tablets and 2-in-1devices running Microsoft Windows operating system, along with new tablets built on Google's Android operating system, all feature built-in security and can be tailored to meet specific use-case requirements:
The HP Pro Slate 8 and HP Pro Slate 12 are high-definition (HD) ommercial-grade Android tablets. Available in 8-inch or 12-inch diagonal displays respectively, the tablets are powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 series processor, and support a 4:3 aspect ratio. Less than 8 mm thin, these tablets offer business-day battery life with enterprise-grade security and manageability. HP Pro Slate 8 is one of the first tablets to market using Corning Gorilla Glass 4, Corning's toughest cover glass to date.
The HP Pro Slate 8 is available now with a starting price of $449. The HP Pro Slate 12 is also available now with a starting price of $569.
The HP Duet Pen, the first to use Qualcomm Snapdragon digital pen technology on both a tablet and regular paper, is included with the HP Pro Slate 8 and HP Pro Slate 12. The pen is part of the HP's Blended Reality Ecosystem, helping employees create content by writing and digitizing input from the device's screen or via a regular sheet of paper using the HP Paper Folio.
The HP Elite x2 1011 G1 is a lightweight 11.6-inch diagonal 2-in-1 Windows device running Windows 8 Pro that easily transforms from a tablet to a laptop with Ultrabook configurations available. Tested to military specs for durability, the Elite x2 adapts to personal work preferences with an ecosystem of optional accessories that includes a WiGig enterprise wireless dock based on a joint collaboration with Intel, along with a cover, a lightweight travel keyboard and an optional Wacom pen.
The HP Elite x2 1011 G1 is expected to be available in late January with a starting price of $899.
The HP Pro Tablet 408 G1 is an affordable, 9 mm thin, 8-inch diagonal Intel Atom-based business tablet that provides a full Windows 8 Pro experience and the mobile accessories. It has micro-HDMI, up to 64 GB of storage and an 8 MP rear camera with flash.
The HP Pro Tablet 408 G1 is available now with a starting price of $299.
The HP ElitePad 1000 G2 Healthcare Tablet is designed to improve caregiver productivity and enhance patient interaction. The durable and lightweight solution has an antimicrobial treatment to protect the product, can be cleaned easily, and meets IP 5414 specifications. Deployable in any clinical environment, the tablet is using the 2D barcode reader to validate personnel, patients, and catalog and administrate medication.
The HP ElitePad 1000 G2 Healthcare Tablet is available now with a starting price of $1,499.
The HP ElitePad 1000 G2 Rugged Tablet is a solution designed for mobile workers in manufacturing or in-field environments. Features include IP 6515 rated for water and dust and MIL-STD 81016 testing, with up to 20 hours of battery life and a 2D barcode reader.
