HP's Elite x2 tablet is gunning for the enterprise throne

HP has created what believes to be the World's First Tablet truly built for business in the HP Elite x2. A 2-in-1 convertible tablet that also has a magnetic QWERTY keyboard and an Active Pen. With an accessory dock, it can become a full desktop replacement. Unlike other similar products that are catch-all solutions for business and consumers wanting to stay productive, the HP Elite X2 is clearly focused on enterprise and BYOD.

The Elite x2 comes with a host of built-in, not bolted on, security capabilities, including HP Sure Start with Dynamic Protection, HP Client Security, TPM, and an optional fingerprint reader or smart card reader, all working together to protect the device, data and user identity. And with an optional Intel Core™ M vPro™ processor, 

“We designed the HP Elite x2 to be thin, light and powerful in a way that captures the simplicity and elegance users will love in a tablet, while creating a device with a detachable keyboard and pen that has the quality, durability, security and manageability that enterprise IT needs to enable true mobile productivity,” said Michael Park, vice president and general manager, Mobility, Personal Systems, HP Inc.

The new tablet is available for pre-order onNovember 23 and ship in January. Pricing starts at US $899.
