HP EliteBook Folio 9470m

 

Windows 8 in a business laptop: well, it needed to happen sooner or later, but in the case of the Elitebook Folio 9470m, the execution feels premature and expensive. It's a shame, because the 9470m is a direct descendent of last year's HP Folio 13...

The HP Elitebook 9470m has a solid, lightweight design, great battery life, and lots of ports and security features.

There's no touch screen, it has a non-high-res display, and there's a general lack of unique features to justify its high price.

The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m does a serviceable job at being a good thin all-around Windows 8 business laptop, but it doesn’t rise from the pack, and it doesn’t take any chances.

This machine is a MONSTER! Got it for some field engineers and they just complain that the computer has a small disk. The machine is very good, light and work friendly

The best Macbook I've ever owned

 

This is a great Macbook. It has a funny logo on it but it runs Windows extremely quickly thanks to the SSD. The docking station option is great, which is uncommon for an ultrabook. I like that it came preinstalled with Windows 7, since business users...

Good machine, for a home system. I have a feeling that these should be able to last awhile without any hardware problems.

That woudl actually be a four core processor. i7 doesn't even come in oct. Good machine, but for home users. More of an awesome media and gaming rig than for business use.

This computer is a beast. 8 core processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB hard drive. Excellent graphics card. My only issue that I have with this computer, is that the fan kicks on a lot and is very noisy. Going to look at the BIOS and see if I can turn it down.

Core i7-2600 3.4 GHz, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, Win7 64 bit. Paid about $1,800. Loads every program in about 1 second. Outlook maybe 5 seconds. Running multiple VMs for website development no sweat. I love it.
