Everyone has an laptop based on Intel’s Ultrabook spec these days, and if they don’t already, they showed it off at CES last week. Just being thin and light isn’t enough to stand out in the crowd now, and HP knows that. To that end, they’ve produced th...

The HP Folio 13 has everything that matters most in an ultrabook: very good battery life, an excellent backlit keyboard, all the requisite ports for mobile use, and a very comfortable feel, along with a competitive entry-level price
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

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
In the nascent but rapidly maturing Ultrabook market, the new HP Folio 13 faces some very stiff competition. On paper, it gets off to a slow start thanks to a number of rather mediocre specifications. The Intel Core i5-2467M CPU, for instance, isn't exact...
Abstract: HP’s the newest arrival to the Ultrabook party, claiming its Folio 13-1008tu is ideal for power users who need performance on the move. Based on our testing, we definitely agree. The Folio has a 2nd Gen Intel Core i5-2467M processor and 4GB of RAM ba...

Great build quality, phenomenal battery life and a lovely keyboard/touch pad combo make HP's Folio 13 one of our favourite ultrabooks....
