HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 review: Thin, light laptop makes business a pleasure |
April 11, 2014
HP set out to make a corporate notebook that handles the basics and travels well. And the company’s EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 pulls it off—for the most part. The Folio’s file storage is tighter than the overhead bin in a puddle-jumper, and its display panel feels flimsy, but it does a good job of covering the rest of bases.The non-touch Folio is surprisingly thin—0.63 inches—considering that it weighs nearly a half-pound more than Lenovo’s 0.77-inch-thick X1 Carbon Touch. That said, you won’t break a sweat hoofing it to the next gate with this computer in your carry-on. (Note that we're not calling this particular SKU an Ultrabook. Intel controls that standard, and one of its baseline requirements is that the machine have a touchscreen, which this doesn't.)To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
