The EliteBook 2740p, the manufacturer's first multitouch-enabled tablet for business customers, weighs from 1.72kg depending on the chosen battery configuration. It comes with a 12.1-inch multitouch LED display as standard, although a version with less reflection and higher contrast, intended for outdoor use, is also an option.
An HP 2740p "ultra-slim expansion base" is also available, so customers can dock their tablet with peripherals when needed, according to the manufacturer. The base includes a DVD+/-RW drive, along with an eSata port for connection with external RAID arrays, hard drives and optical drives.
The tablet comes with a choice between the new Intel Core i3, Core 15 and Core i7 CPUs.
The 2740p will go on sale in the US in April at a starting price of $1,599 (£1,075). The expansion base will cost an additional $299.
