Great performance in a reasonably slim and quite sturdy package. Good pricing

The editors didn't like
The connectivity options are lacking on this business laptop
And the hard drive will fill up quickly
This ultrabook drops Wi-Fi connectivity fairly frequently. Also
The setup doesn't allow you to remove the battery
Dull
Glossy display
Finicky touchpad
Slightly thicker and heavier than other ultrabooks. Ivy Bridge is around the corner
Thicker and heavier than the competition
Meh display with distracting bezel
Stiff trackpad
Distracting fan noise
Difficult clickpad
Narrow viewing angles on the display
Average
Overly glossy screen
Default clickpad settings are horrible
Fan gets noisy at times
Could be a little lighter. Screen could be a little brighter
Dull design
Dim display
Clickpad is stiff
Relatively dim screen
Bottom can get very warm
Heavier and thicker than other Ultrabooks
Not-so-bright screen. A few ounces overweight
Busy software installation
Nonremovable battery
Half a pound overweight. Screen a little underbright
Narrow screen viewing angle
Slightly high price
Only one USB 3.0 port
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
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
Sparse I/O capabilities
No optical drive
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)
Resolution could be higher
Glossy display can be annoying
Distracting software suite
Stiff trackpadDim display with narrow viewing angles
Barely suitable for outdoors
Very stiff touchpad keys
Display isn't edge-to-edge => a sham
Possible performance cannot be completely called upon
An affordable combination of Ultrabook luxury, great battery life and classy looks, with only a few compromises...

Excellent build, Lovely backlit keyboard, Great SSD storage, USB 3.0 port, Decent battery life
Not as sexy as some Ultrabooks, Very poor screen, Mediocre CPU, Odd memory configuration, Irritating touchpad
Much of the explanation for the HP Folio 13's features and configuration is that this is an Ultrabook designed for the business market, and that means it has priorities other than raw CPU performance. Stability, reliability and security therefore feature...
Stylish and well built, Excellent battery life, Competitively priced
Trackpad takes some getting used to, Powerbrick reduces portability
The HP Folio is generally an excellent Ultrabook, marrying consistent design to good build quality, thoughtful features and class-leading battery life. The flipside is that Folio can be noisy under load, the touchpad buttons are stiff and it has yet to se...
The HP Folio 13 is a solid effort from HP that, instead of blindly shedding features and usability in the name of thin-and-light, strikes a reasonable balance. It may be a tad pricey for some shoppers, but including a solid-state drive always drives up...
solid built, excellent illuminated keyboard, good performances, huge battery life, all the needed ports, punchy speakers
dull design, a bit heavy and thick, dim display, stiff touchpad
Slightly heavier and bulkier than the other 13.3 inch ultrabooks, the HP Folio 13 also feels more solid, better suited for life on the road. It also offers the best battery life among its competitors, good performances and a proper backlit keyboard, all f...
Abstract: HP has long impressed us with the build quality of their notebooks, and its ultrabook, the Folio 13, is no exception. Granted, there are certainly thinner ultrabooks out there, but not nearly as many that feel so solidly built and well put together. O...
