The HP ElitePad 900 is a tough son of a tablet. Designed for business or outdoor use, it is built to survive being dropped, dinged, dusted, and handled roughly enough to make an iPad cry. HP has tested it to the military MIL-STD810G standard for dust, vib...

The HP ElitePad is a tablet running 32-bit Windows 8 Pro, aimed at business users. Running Windows 8 means that it has an Intel rather than an Arm processor - in this case an Intel Atom Z2760 chip clocked at 1.5GHz-1.8GHz combined with 2GB RAM. Often...

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...
