All the requisite ports for mobile use
And a very comfortable feel
Along with a competitive entry-level price
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
Montée en température faible, Bonne performance générale du trio processeur / Ram / SSD, Autonomie de 6h, Fin (1,8 cm) et léger (1,5 kg)
Faibles capacités dans les jeux, Connectique chiche, Dalle de brillante aux couleurs fausses et faiblement contrastée, Bruyant quand fortement sollicité
Si l'Asus UX31E garde l'avantage du look et d'un écran mieux défini, le Folio 13 lui oppose, à prix équivalent, une meilleure autonomie et une partie audio plus soignée. La puissance de calcul est équivalente. ...

Le Folio 13 de HP prend la tête de la course au meilleur ultrabook, grâce à son autonomie record. Il reste cependant en retrait face aux MacBook Air 11 et 13 pouces d’Apple dans le tableau de notre comparatif permanent. Plus lourd que le Toshiba Porté...
HP était le dernier des grands constructeurs à ne pas avoir sorti un ultrabook. Le Folio 13 vient donc combler ce manque. Ses principaux atours sont un prix mini et une autonomie maxi. Si ce n’est sans doute pas l’ultrabook le plus séduisant, il s’agit...
Il Folio 13 è il primo tentativo di ultrabook da parte di HP, e secondo noi ha colpito nel segno. Lo schermo è un po' deludente, ma questo notebook elegante offre delle buone prestazioni e continua a funzionare per ore. Si è classificato secondo nel nost...
Autonomia della batteria considerevole, Materiali rifiniti ed assemblaggio buono, Tastiera buona, Suono impressionante per un notebook di queste dimensioni
Display lucido: scarsamente adatto all'esterno, Tasti del touchpad molto duri, Il display non è edge-to-edge => è una finzione, Possibile che non vengano sfruttate tutte le prestazioni
Nel settore Ultrabooks questo dispositivo mostra una autonomia eccezionale, un case piacevole e stabile, superfici vellutate e morbide, tastiera retroilluminata e (con i giusti settaggi) la rumorosità moderata, in alcuni casi quasi assente, pertanto ci...
Porta HDMI; Autonomia; Elevata protezione dei dati; Design; Webcam HD,
