I have used and reviewed quite a few HP notebooks now, and I must say this is by far the best one yet. Being the top tier model of the Elitebooks, the quality and performance from such a small device is outstanding. I am pleased in nearly every way and fi...
The HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 is a solid business computer with some of the fit and finish you'd hope to find on a modern consumer laptop, that much is true. It's thin and light with a keyboard you'll love if you aren't a mechanical keyboard die-hard, an...

Abstract: Many people are eschewing desktop PCs for more mobile choices, mainly tablets and laptops. The portability of these devices is paramount because nobody wants to lug around more weight than they have to. Enter the HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 (that's a mout...
Abstract: If you're in the market for a Windows 8 laptop, you're looking in the wrong place. The HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 can handle Windows 8, but the lack of a touchscreen and the steadfastly clamshell form factor beg for Windows 7. Fortunately, Windows 7 Pro i...
Excellent size for working at home, the office, or when traveling, thin and light aluminum body, built-in security hardware and software for businesses
Comes with Windows 7 Pro installed; Windows 8.1 & its drivers are included on disks but there is no optical drive; I wish the touchscreen wasn't optional; I'm having huge issues with the fingerprint scanner

UltraSlim docking stations are available, truly IT Friendly, feature rich (NFC, Bluetooth, fingerprint reader), 4G option available, and comes running Windows 7 Professional 64 or Windows 8 Pro. Very good performance, very good antiglare display, 3 year w
Touchscreen is not standard, a bit pricey, screen has a bit of flex and not the best battery life. We would like to see a 3K resolution option for the display
The HP Elitebook Folio 1040 is a very robust and capable business laptop. It's also one of the nicest enterprise / business laptops that you can find. To that effect, the 1040 is a system that has been designed with enterprise in mind but is also an e...
Terrific build quality, Professional, attractive styling, Good quality, matte display panel, Very good performance for a ULV chipset, Versatile enterprise security software package, Quiet and cool operation, Great battery life
Questionable touchpad ("forcepad") implementation which requires relearning the basics in terms of clicking and drag/drop operation, Throttling under load, Mediocre speakers, High price, Eleven Torx screws secure the bottom panel instead of a simple maint
The HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1So, what does it all add up to? At least in context with the business market, a premium piece of hardware with a suitably premium price tag (again, $1,979 at the time of this writing) and just a few notable drawbacks. Compare...
Very thin, Excellent trackpad and keyboard, Competent tech support available any time
Short on storage and USB ports, Screen panel exhibits too much flex, Battery life could be better
This slim back-to-basics enterprise Ultrabook is easy to travel and work with, and you'll like its pressure-sensitive touchpad. But it's a little shy on battery life, storage and connections....

Slim form factor. Anti-glare screen. MIL-SPEC 810G rating. Good solid-state drive (SSD) capacity. Bundles Windows 7 Pro, with Windows 8 Pro license.
No touch screen. VGA and Ethernet on dongle. ForcePad is novel, but requires learning new touch gestures. SIM card slot is unprotected
The HP Elitebook Folio 1040 business ultrabook features forward-looking tech, like a pressure-sensitive trackpad, and eliminates bulky features, like dual pointing sticks and built-in Ethernet. Demanding, highly mobile sales/executive power users should ...
First-rate build, Classy yet restrained, Light, Very thin, Very good battery runtimes, Quiet, Cool, Fast enough for business and more, Extensive security bundle
Expensive, TN screen, Touchpad will not suit everyone, Only 180 GB SSD, No DP-HDMI adapter, Only middling sound, Very limited gaming
HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1The high-priced 2000 Euro (~$2749) ultrabook is immense, but we can fortunately confirm that HP has not suffered shipwreck with its EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 flagship. We were presented with a well-built ultrabook from the uppermos...
