Attractive, thin and light design, Docking capability, Impressive ForcePad tech, Promises allday battery life
ForcePad seems superfluous, Full HD display isn't standard
At first glance, the EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 is one gorgeous workhorse, with its magnesium enclosure super slim profile. Once you get your hands on it, it's clear that this ultrabook means business, especially with its fresh ForcePad tech. While the Forc...
Abstract: This unit has USB3 ports although you would only know it by speed of transfer as they do not have the blue middle bar that normally denotes these ports.The screen is 14inches and has a 720P webcam set at the centre above it. The default display of 1920x10...
Solid build quality, Thin and light, Mobile broadband
Some flex in the lid, Poor SIM card slot design
A robust and light build along with mobile broadband will lure executive types to the EliteBook Folio 1040 G1, though if they want access to Ethernet and VGA they'll need to carry a dongle or the HP dock. HP could have done more to protect the SIM card –...

Considerable performance, Well built, Great keyboard, 3 year warranty
Only 3 hours of battery life, Costly
The EliteBook 1040 G1 is smartly designed, well constructed, with a premium look and feel. This slim business ultrabook ticks all the right boxes in terms of aesthetics and build. It is not the fastest ultrabook we've tested this year. It's fast, faster t...

HP hits many of the right notes with its EliteBook Folio 1040 G1, but it's not perfect. It's supremely thin; it has a great keyboard and an innovative trackpad; and it has very good security features that don't require you to pay for features of interest ...
