redefine mobility and security for business
BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 23, 2014 — HP today announced two additions to its leading
business tablet lineup, both of which are available with a broad set of accessories to
help transform tablets into total business solutions that increase mobility and security.
• The HP ElitePad 1000 has been upgraded with a brighter and more durable touch

go along with its world-class design and HP Smart Jacket accessory ecosystem.

Tablets have taken a central role in business with 21 percent of employees requesting
a tablet from their IT managers.(3) The changing nature of work—including an
increasingly diverse, tech-savvy workforce and the evolution of the traditional
workplace—has led to growing demand for light, flexible, powerful mobile devices such
as HP tablets that both support a work/life blend and lock in to an organization’s IT
infrastructure for manageability and increased security.
“Our tablets and mobile ecosystem continue to evolve to meet the growing
transformation of the workplace,” said Enrique Lores, senior vice president and general
manager, Commercial PCs, HP. “The line between work and life has blurred to the point
that it’s now a true blend, where employees increasingly require stylish, business-ready
mobile devices that don’t make any sacrifices to productivity, reliability or security.”
