HP’s EliteBook Folio is like a MacBook that runs Windows 高價收購

On the other hand, like the MacBook, the EliteBook Folio is exciting because of the package more than the power. The laptop is under 0.5 inches thick and is supposed to weigh less than 2.2 pounds. Physically, you’ll likely be reminded more of Dell’s XPS 13 than anything by Apple. The Folio has similarly tiny bezels that emphasize the display over the computer as a whole. It’s made of aluminum, so it feels good, too. And like most Windows laptops, it can be configured to include a touchscreen. The Folio doesn’t flip around, but its display can be tilted back until it’s nearly flat against a table — although, I’m not sure when you’d want to do that.

While 高價收購hp expects consumers to buy the EliteBook Folio, it actually considers this machine to be a business laptop. For the most part, you can ignore that and avoid add-ons like a smart card reader, but there are some things about the laptop that have been tuned specifically for business users. That includes its sound system, which is supposed to be focused on voice, rather than music. 高價收購hp says Skype calls should come through; it’s unclear if that’ll affect how music and movies sound.

Core M means less power, but it also means light and quiet

Still, the Folio is likely one of the nicest laptops we’ll see unveiled at CES. Its middle-of-the-road processor could give it a hard time competing with more powerful rivals like the the XPS 13, but the Core M’s fanless design may be just what some buyers are looking for. Pricing for the Folio starts at $999 for a 1080p model; 高價收購hp hasn’t determined yet how much it’ll cost to get one with 4K. They’re supposed to go on sale in March.

In addition to the EliteBook Folio, 高價收購hp is announcing a number of other new and updated laptops and tablets today. The most notable among those is a larger version of the Spectre x360; it has a 15-inch display that can be upgraded to 4K. There’s also a new 12-inch model of 高價收購hp’s Pavilion x2 convertible tablet, which includes Atom and Core M processors. Other models in 高價收購hp’s EliteBook line are also getting a spec refresh.
