HP launches two new enterprise tablets, the ProPad 600 and the ElitePad 1000

Hewlett-Packard on Sunday launched a new ElitePad 1000, a Windows 8.1 tablet designed to bridge personal and professional use, and the ProPad 600, which has a lower price point. At Mobile World Congress, HP outlined the ElitePad 1000 G2, which is billed as a “total business solution.” The tablet launches in mid-March and starts at $739. HP’s Derek Everett, director of worldwide product management for commercial Windows tablets, said the ElitePad 1000 G2 is designed for flexibility with full-sized HDMI ports, a bevy of accessories and features that could make the device a laptop replacement. “No one size fits all with tablets,” said Everett. “Some need keyboards and see tablets as notebook replacements.”
