Review HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook

 

Compact business. Full connectivity, almost 8 hours of battery runtime, perfect input feedback and a noble aluminum-magnesium chassis. A challenge for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon and the gathered premium ultrabooks? ...

Catchy, significant materials ; Sturdy chassis ; First-class maintenance ; Removable battery ; Business ports ; Strong feedback of the input devices ; High system performance ; Fast SSD ; Long battery runtime ; Low operating noise

Low contrast, small viewing angles ; Very low brightness with battery use ; HD resolution, no panel options ; High price without IPS panel, 3G modem ; Standard setting "Fan Always On When AC

Why the manufacturer repeatedly reduces the brightness. This decision should be made by the user

HP Elitebook Folio 9470m Ultrabook

 

IT folks are just starting to evaluate Windows 8 for use in business, whether they support a 20-person shop or a 20,000-employee enterprise behemoth. The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m ($1,349 direct) is aimed at the corporate shop, where tens or thousands...

USB 3.0 only. SSD-based. Anti-glare screen. Dual pointing devices. Backlit keyboard. Has Windows 7 downgrade rights. Full size Ethernet. User replaceable battery. Fully IT serviceable. WiDi compatibility

No touch screen. Windows 8 user interface awkward with touchpad, only semi-usable with pointing stick

The HP Elitebook Folio 9470m is one of the first Windows 8 corporate notebooks on the market. On one hand, it's a speedy and slim ultrabook, on the other, you'll probably want to "downgrade" to Windows 7 once you take it out of the box.
