Great performance in a reasonably slim and quite sturdy package. Good pricing, yet it's clear that corners weren't cut in either specs or build quality. Exceptional battery life up to an hour longer than competitors
Very dim screen. At 3.3 pounds, it's less “ultra” than the rest of the market. Too much preinstalled junk on our test unit
Good backlit keyboard, Solid aluminum construction with plenty of ports, Good battery life,
Average, overly glossy screen, Default clickpad settings are horrible, Fan gets noisy at times,
We have a number of great things to say about the HP Folio 13 after spending a few weeks using this modestly-priced ultrabook. For starters, the build quality is second to none in the ultrabook category. The aluminum construction makes the Folio 13 extremely solid without making it too thick or heavy. Not only that, but HP didn't sacrifice something important like a media card reader just to save

Everyone has an laptop based on Intel’s Ultrabook spec these days, and if they don’t already, they showed it off at CES last week. Just being thin and light isn’t enough to stand out in the crowd now, and HP knows that. To that end, they’ve produced th...

When it comes to Windows ultrabooks, the HP Folio 13 is the best of the bunch in terms of performance, price, and ergonomics, provided you can live with a less-than-razor-thin design. This laptop is targeted at small businesses but it's really for any...

Picking the right laptop isn't an easy choice, especially if you are ordering online. It's my job as a reviewer to point out the flaws in the product and it's not always an easy job. Thankfully, the HP Folio 13 hasn't provided any serious issues to re...
We didn't expect HP's latest Ultrabook to deliver a knockout blow for only $1126, but the Folio 13 punches well above its weight. Great build and looks go hand in hand with all-day battery life; the ergonomics are good, if not great; and only the display...
