What distinguishes the HP Elitepad 900 from the rest of the business tablets out there (particularly Thinkpad tablet) is the availability of an accessory cover, which doesn’t only act as a protection, but also extends the functionality of the tablet through the availability of ports such as full size HDMI and USB. The accessory can also be fitted with a battery to extend the battery life of the tablet. The protective cover also comes with a docking port, which provides the user with convenience when using the tablet for Internet video calls such as Skype.
