  • Abstract:  If you're looking for a Windows laptop that looks like a MacBook Air, you've come to the right place. These systems are fast and full-featured, yet slim, light, and generally long on battery life. A few even sport solid-state drives, and some offer a...

  • Considerable battery life, Very refined materials and workmanship, Good keyboard, Impressive sound for a notebook of this size
  • Glossy display: barely suitable for outdoors, Very stiff touchpad keys, Display isn't edge-to-edge => a sham, Possible performance cannot be completely called upon
  • Even amongst Ultrabooks this device has an exceptional battery life, a stable and very sublime case, surfaces that feel velvety, soft and just great, the backlit keyboard and (if on the right setting) the very moderate, often not even present background n...

  • There's no optical drive either — another defining ultrabook characteristic. The ports and connectors are all full size and mostly ranged on the left edge of the chassis working from the back towards the front, we find the power socket, an Ethernet (RJ45)
  • The HP Folio 13 is a neatly designed ultrabook that's solidly built and has a comfortable keyboard. However, there are only two USB ports, the screen is unimpressive and storage capacity is limited. Something of a mixed bag, then....

  • Long-lasting; good performance, Nice typing platform
  • Busy software installation, Nonremovable battery
  • Thicker and heavier than the average ultrabook, the Folio 13 may actually be a more sensible option for many users....

  • Solid build quality, Attractive, Good keyboard, Above average battery life, Solid performance
  • Resolution could be higher, Glossy display can be annoying, Distracting software suite
  • The HP Folio 13 is one of the best Ultrabooks on the market today, no matter what it’s labeled. The user interface is excellent, build quality is high, performance is solid and battery life is much better than average. All of this is made sweeter by a ...

  • The HP EliteBook Folio features very impressive battery life and a powerful processor
  • The connectivity options are lacking on this business laptop, and the hard drive will fill up quickly
  • The HP EliteBook Folio is an ultra-portable laptop computer. This computing device features a long 9.5-hour battery life and a lightweight design. Although it is lacking in connectivity options, this business laptop offers impressive processing power and...

  • Sturdy, attractive design, Long battery life, Good overall performance, Wellrounded audio, Backlit keyboard
  • Difficult clickpad, Narrow viewing angles on the display
  • The HP Folio 13 is one of the best ultrabooks we've seen so far in terms of performance, battery life, and design. I would recommend it without hesitation if it didn't have that dodgy touchpad. And that's a hard flaw to ignore considering it's one of the...

  • Abstract:  The HP Folio is in the house! We've been excited about this business-focused ultraportable since we got a first glimpse last year and went hands-on at CES. The enterprise version (with TPM) is $999, but the configuration available to consumers costs just...
