  • Odd memory configuration

  • 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...

  • Affordable. First-class keyboard. Good array of ports.
  • Could be a little lighter. Screen could be a little brighter
  • The HP Folio 13-1029wm takes $100 off what was already one of the most affordable—and desirable—ultrabooks....

  • The ultrabook has a bright and clear full-HD display that features 10-point touch technology
  • This ultrabook drops Wi-Fi connectivity fairly frequently. Also, the setup doesn't allow you to remove the battery
  • The Sony Vaio Pro Touch is an exceptional ultrabook that is great if you are tired of lugging around a heavy laptop for travel or your daily commute. The new generation of Intel technology gives the laptop an edge over many of the ultrabooks on our lineup...

  • Sturdy
  • Dull, glossy display, finicky touchpad, slightly thicker and heavier than other ultrabooks. Ivy Bridge is around the corner
  • 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...

  • 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....
