Chassis / Design / Build quality
Already the
first glance at the Folio 13 reveals that HP built a high quality Ultrabook. The
materials they've used - aluminium and plastic in this case - have been
exquisitely processed and the result is very good haptics. The aluminium used for
the cover has been hairline brushed and give the Folio 13 it's HP typical looks
whereas the trim list at the top edge shows some more HP understatement. The
plastic, which frames the display and can also be found at the bottom of this
ultrabook comes with a matte valvety finish, which is very comfortable and
offers good grip. Going a step further and opening the lid reveals that it's
possible to provide even such a slim design with good stiffness.
Looking at
the connectors shows that HP hasn't been saving here. Wether or not a slim
notebook where manufacturers have design ambitions should offer many connectors
that's what people can argue about. But on the other hand there is the fact that
a RJ45 connector, an HDMI port, one USB 2.0 as well as one USB 3.0 connector and
a card reader are convinient no matter if you're at home, at work or on the go.
