Abstract: HP's business-minded Windows 8 Ultrabook is sleek, sturdy, and smartly designedIs it possible to ship a late-model laptop with Windows 8 as a preload (even if it's only an option along with Windows 7) and not include a touchscreen? Given that this HP Ultr...
Light, sleek, and sturdy design, Spacious backlit keyboard with touch pad and pointer, Good array of ports, Removable battery and optional second battery, Choice of Windows 7 or Windows 8
No touch screen, Premium price, Loose-feeling keys and annoyingly narrow power button
HP extends its EliteBook line with a solid ultrabook. The 9470m is sleek and light, with a removable battery and plenty of ports. Windows 8 is an option, but without a touch screen, execs may prefer to stick with Win 7. ...

The HP Elitebook 9470m has a solid, lightweight design, great battery life, and lots of ports and security features
There's no touch screen, it has a non-high-res display, and there's a general lack of unique features to justify its high price
The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m does a serviceable job at being a good thin all-around Windows 8 business laptop, but it doesn’t rise from the pack, and it doesn’t take any chances.
Attractive and durable lightweight design, Long battery life, Includes Ethernet and VGA ports, Wide range of security options
Mediocre screen for price, Poor webcam quality, Inconsistent touchpad
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is a sturdy, business-friendly Ultrabook that lasts a long time on a charge, but we'd like to see a better display and webcam at this price.

USB 3.0 only. SSD-based. Anti-glare screen. Dual pointing devices. Backlit keyboard. Has Windows 7 downgrade rights. Full size Ethernet. User replaceable battery. Fully IT serviceable. WiDi compatibility.
No touch screen. Windows 8 user interface awkward with touchpad, only semi-usable with pointing stick
The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m is one of the first Windows 8 corporate notebooks on the market. On one hand, it's a speedy and slim ultrabook, on the other, you'll probably want to "downgrade" to Windows 7 once you take it out of the box....
Strong build quality, Excellent keyboard, Useful built-in features
Relatively low screen resolution, The price, TrackPoint can get in the way
HP's EliteBook Folio 9470m is a well built, good looking and very comfortable to use Ultrabook, and it's also very fast. All of that good stuff comes at a high price that's perhaps typical of machines aimed at high-end business users...

Because it's a business laptop, it comes with Windows 7 Pro installed, a vPro chipset, and you also get HP's ProtectTools software. This includes a suite of applications ranging from theft recovery (Computrace) to drive encryption, and there is also a cre...
