HP Elite Pad vs Apple ipad 4

The debut of HP's (Hewlett-Packard) ElitePad 900 tablet in led many to believe that the American PC maker made a late entry in a market that is already dominated by Apple, Samsung and other low-cost  tablet manufacturers.

Apple had released the 9.7-inch fourth generation iPad way back in December 2012, and has made strong sales.

HP ElitePad 900 and Apple iPad 4 are high-end tablets, with the latter being a popular choice. With the launch of HP's new tablet, consumers are wondering if it packs enough ammunition to take on its American rival. 

Here's a breakdown of specs between HP ElitePad 900 and Apple iPad 4:

Display:

HP ElitePad 900 sports a 1280x800p resolution display, but it's still no match to iPad's retina display which is rated as one of the top display features in the tablet industry.

Processor:

Apple's fourth generation iPad runs on the company's latest A6x chipset with 1.4GHz CPU speed. HP ElitePad scores a few more points with a faster 1.8GHz Intel Atom processor.

Camera:

HP ElitePad 900 is one of the very few tablets in the market to a feature an 8.0-megapixel camera in addition to the 1.2-megapixel front camera. Despite having a 5.0-megapixel camera, iPad's main camera is no less superior to its rival's camera. The iPad 4's iSight camera comes packed with five element lens, hybrid IR filter, face-detection and many more features.

Operating System:

In this aspect, Apple once again trumps HP tablet. iPad runs on one of most secure and biggest operating ecosystem -Apple iOS. The Apple OS holds largest collection of more than 700,000 apps in the industry.

HP ElitePad 900 runs on the Windows 8 Pro OS which was released only a few months ago in the market. It only holds a little over 150,000 apps.
