The editors didn't like
No touch screen. Windows 8 user interface awkward with touchpad
Only semi-usable with pointing stick
Skimpy storage
Only 4GB of memory
Pricey for a 14-inch Ultrabook
Mediocre screen for price
Poor webcam quality
Inconsistent touchpad
There's no touch screen
It has a non-high-res display
And there's a general lack of unique features to justify its high price
No touch screen
Premium price
Loose-feeling keys and annoyingly narrow power button
Display resolution and quality is too low
Small keys on right edge of keyboard
Uninspiring performance
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m may be an ultrabook
But HP has done the right thing and provided an accessible battery. The long
Wedge like 52 watthour fourcell battery provides up to 8.5 hours of life with a hard drive or 9.5 hours with a lowerpower SSD
Attractive and durable lightweight design, Long battery life, Includes Ethernet and VGA ports, Wide range of security options
Mediocre screen for price, Poor webcam quality, Inconsistent touchpad
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is a sturdy, business-friendly Ultrabook that lasts a long time on a charge, but we'd like to see a better display and webcam at this price.

The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m is one of the first Windows 8 corporate notebooks on the market. On one hand, it's a speedy and slim ultrabook, on the other, you'll probably want to "downgrade" to Windows 7 once you take it out of the box....
Strong build quality, Excellent keyboard, Useful built-in features
Relatively low screen resolution, The price, TrackPoint can get in the way
HP's EliteBook Folio 9470m is a well built, good looking and very comfortable to use Ultrabook, and it's also very fast. All of that good stuff comes at a high price that's perhaps typical of machines aimed at high-end business users...

The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m does a serviceable job at being a good thin all-around Windows 8 business laptop, but it doesn't rise from the pack, and it doesn't take any chances....

Because it's a business laptop, it comes with Windows 7 Pro installed, a vPro chipset, and you also get HP's ProtectTools software. This includes a suite of applications ranging from theft recovery (Computrace) to drive encryption, and there is also a cre...
Design and manufacturing, Matte screen, Good processing power, Responsiveness, Battery life (5 hrs 30 min without the optional battery)
Mediocre display, No HDMI out
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m falls into the same trap as so many other laptops: it has good processing power, the body is well built and the battery life is more than sufficient, but the screen is of such terrible quality (despite its matte surface) that ...

The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m is a very decent laptop. It's easy to upgrade, has a nice chassis, a good keyboard and touchpad, and relatively powerful hardware with a good CPU and SSD. It makes this a good business Ultrabook, but also interesting for any...
Stylish and rugged, removable battery, supports desktop dock
Heavy for an ultrabook, no touch capability for Windows 8
Although a little heavy for an ultrabook, the EliteBook Folio 9470m redeems itself with a removable battery and desktop dock support, plus other features to appeal to enterprise buyers. However, the lack of a touchscreen means that it is not ideal for ...
