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...
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

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...
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

The HP Folio 13 has everything that matters most in an ultrabook: very good battery life, an excellent backlit keyboard, all the requisite ports for mobile use, and a very comfortable feel, along with a competitive entry-level price
The Folio 13 is no looker compared with other ultrabooks, and is a bit thicker and heavier than thin laptops such as the MacBook Air. The clickpad's just a bit too finicky for our tastes, too
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...
