Business Notebook or Tablet? HP Says Have Both

The Apple iPad is by no means your only choice when it comes to a tablet computer. The HP EliteBook 2740p offers small businesses the flexibility of having both a tablet PC and a notebook PC. Our sister site, HardwareCentral.com put the notebook computer to the test and has the full review.
