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)
The HP Folio 13 is a neatly designed ultrabook that's solidly built and has a comfortable keyboard. However, there are only two USB ports, the screen is unimpressive and storage capacity is limited. Something of a mixed bag, then....
Solid build quality, Attractive, Good keyboard, Above average battery life, Solid performance
Resolution could be higher, Glossy display can be annoying, Distracting software suite
The HP Folio 13 is one of the best Ultrabooks on the market today, no matter what it’s labeled. The user interface is excellent, build quality is high, performance is solid and battery life is much better than average. All of this is made sweeter by a ...

Abstract: The HP Folio is in the house! We've been excited about this business-focused ultraportable since we got a first glimpse last year and went hands-on at CES. The enterprise version (with TPM) is $999, but the configuration available to consumers costs just...
Good backlit keyboard, Solid aluminum construction with plenty of ports, Good battery life,
Average, overly glossy screen, Default clickpad settings are horrible, Fan gets noisy at times,
We have a number of great things to say about the HP Folio 13 after spending a few weeks using this modestly-priced ultrabook.
