The unit I tested came through HP’s business channels, which comes with a different default image than Folios sold through consumer channels. By that I mean that there are very few applications pre-loaded by default or that run automatically. One very nice aspect of the HP Folio for customers who do not use a custom image is that the default HP image is very lightweight. Additionally, my performance characteristics will vary slightly as Microsoft’s security policies require different default programs – like antivirus – compared to the programs shipped in HP’s image. Similar to past reviews, my test of a PC is not around specific benchmarks, but personal experience in using the device as my daily work machine for a period of a few weeks and seeing how it copes with a professional workload. If you’re already sold on these specs alone, the HP Folio is broadly available from HP and HP resellers (including the Microsoft Store, of course). The model I tested comes with Windows 7 Professional, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, TPM and an Intel Core i5 processor. All of this comes in a 3.3 pound, 0.7” package that can be found for under $1,000. For play, the Dolby Advanced Audio provides some of the best sound that I have ever experienced on a notebook PC. For work, the keyboard and battery life are exceptional. The HP Folio has some great user experience aspects for both work and play. Like other PCs built for business, the HP Folio comes with Windows 7 Professional, TPM, on-board Ethernet, and business-level service and support options. The HP Folio is a slim, business-focused 13” notebook with a rich, glossy display, and incredible battery life. The latest Ultrabook in my collection is the HP Folio.
