Some laptop makers opt for ultra-thin, ultra-light, and ultra-sleek when making an ultrabook. With the $999 Folio 13, HP has taken a more utilitarian and practical approach: As Samsung did with the $949.99 Series 5 14-inch Ultra, HP provides more by way o...

Windows 7 Professional and BIOS-level security make this ultrabook a good fit for business, while a comfortable backlit keyboard makes it a good fit for typists. Our main quibble: The screen's viewing area is far too narrow. Read More...

The HP Folio 13 is a sleek 13.3-inch Ultrabook that comes in a slim profile measuring just 18mm thick. HP positions it as a business-grade laptop that eschews an optical drive for portability and crams in a battery that the company says is good for up...
The HP Folio 13's slower mobile processor and lack of upgradability means that it is not an ideal machine for power users who need a faster processor and ample storage capacity. However, there is no sign that HP has sacrificed functionality in any way...

It comes down to a matter of ounces. At 3.25 pounds, the HP Folio 13-1020us ($899.99 list), available from Wal-Mart, weighs a little more than the category-inspiring 2.9-pound Apple MacBook Air 13-inch ($1,299 list, 4 stars), the super-skinny 2.5-pound To...

The initial bum rush of ultrabooks resulted in, with limited exception, a lot of designs that took most of their cues from Apple's MacBook Air. Even Dell's XPS 13, otherwise very different from what came before it, still maintained that wedge shape...
Of the ultrabooks I've tested so far, the ones I've personally liked the best have been the Dell XPS 13 and this one, the HP Folio 13. Both have fairly good keyboards and both deviate from the norm a little bit, displaying some ingenuity and thought in th...

Wal-Mart has hung a "Price Rollback" sign on the HP Folio 13-1029wm?(one guess what the wm stands for). The ultrabook is available at the discount superstore for $798 (list), an even $100 less than the mainstream HP Folio 13-1020us model. The big differen...

At 3.3lbs (1.49kg), HP's offering isn't the lightest around, nor is it the thinnest at 0.7in. In fact, it's toward the upper limits of both attributes with most ultrabooks weighing 2.4-2.9lbs and measuring 0.51-0.67in thick. However, I wouldn't apprec...

This is the man in the dull gray suit. He goes to work dutifully and gets the job done. He's tireless and reliable but not a standout. The Folio 13 isn't a looker and it doesn't ride with high class materials like some Ultrabooks, but it's sturdy, has...

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...
