  • Sober, understated brushed metal chassis, Excellent battery life, Reasonable performance for an ultrabook, Backlit keyboard
  • Mediocre integrated graphics, 128GB SSD is on the small side

  • Low heat, Good overall performance from the CPU, RAM & SSD, Battery life: 6 hours, Thin and light (1.8 cm, 1.5 kg)
  • Low gaming capacity, Could use more ports, Glossy screen with inaccurate colours and low contrast, Loud during use
  • The Asus UX31E may have the advantage when it comes to look and screen resolution, but the Folio 13 has a better battery life and audio, for the same price and processor power. ...

  • 9/10. Overall the Folio 13 ticks just about all of the boxes for what Intel has set out to achieve with its Ultrabooks. Aside from a few minor niggles, we would definitely recommend the Folio 13, whether for business use or otherwise. With smart good ...

  • The HP Folio 13-1020us was unveiled this past January. Many a months have since passed, without negative effects on this laptop. Which fully deserves all the Editors' Choice awards it can get from any blog, forum, online magazine and so on....
