HP EliteBook Folio 1020

HP EliteBook Folio 1020
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Hp laptop battery
The smaller size is due to the EliteBook Folio 1020's 12.5-inch display, which boasts 2,560-by-1,440 resolution, a big step up from the 1,440-by-900 resolution of the Apple MacBook Air 13, but not as high as the Dell XPS 13 Touch$1,349.99 at Dell, with its 3,200-by-1,800 3K (QHD+) screen. The display offers pretty good viewing angles as well, with minimal color shifting even at steep angles. The screen is covered with edge-to-edge glass, which is a bit reflective—enough so that working near a window or under fluorescent lighting might cause some serious glare.
The keyboard uses HP's usual tile
design, with square keys and half-size keys for the arrows and function buttons with like Hp dg103a battery, Hp PB994A battery, Hp PB991A battery, Hp HSTNN-DB36 battery, Hp Pavilion G60 battery, Hp Pavilion dv4 battery, Hp Pavilion dv5 battery, Hp Pavilion dv6 battery, Compaq Presario CQ70 battery, Hp Pavilion ZT1200 battery, Hp XH260 battery, Hp Pavilion N3200 battery, but it offers decent feedback and key travel. Backlighting on the keys makes it easier to type in a dark or dim room, while a spill-resistant design means you can eat lunch at your desk or take the laptop to Starbucks without living in fear of spills.
More intriguing is the touchpad, which uses HP's ForcePad, a glass-surfaced touch sensor that registers the pressure of every touch and swipe to give you all of the usual point-and-click and multitouch gesture support you expect, but without any moving parts. The right and left buttons don't actually click, but are merely touch zones along the bottom of the sensor. The lack of physical and audio feedback is noticeably different from the usual touchpad, but it takes almost no time to get used to it. Above the keyboard are two built-in speakers, with DTS Studio Sound enhancement. The speakers offer solid sound quality, with minimal distortion at high volumes.
The aluminum-and-magnesium-alloy construction isn't just for looks. The EliteBook Folio 1020 is built to MIL-STD 810G standards, which include a range of semi-rugged capabilities, like surviving four-foot drops, functioning in spite of shock and vibration, and withstanding pretty significant temperature fluctuations. It's not the laptop to carry into a warzone, but you can travel with without worry.
There's a better selection of ports in
this ultraportable than the MacBook Air, with an HDMI output, two USB 3.0 ports, a microSD card slot, a headset jack, and a Kensington lock slot. There's also a docking port (more on that in a moment), with a dongle that uses the docking port to offer VGA and Ethernet. Wireless connectivity abounds, with dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, WiDi, and Miracast wireless display streaming, and our review model offers NFC ($19 extra on the standard model).
Office users will also appreciate that the EliteBook Folio 1020 is compatible with the HP 2013 UltraSlim Docking Station (sold separately for $159). Connecting through the laptop's integrated docking port, this docking station is ideal for desktop use, adding VGA output, two full-size DisplayPorts, an Ethernet port, four USB 3.0 ports, and audio-in and -out ports.
HP has also baked in all sorts of security features, like HP Touchpoint Manager (a mobile-device management service), HP BIOSphere (which offers self-healing from malware or failed BIOS updates), and File Sanitizer (which securely deletes files, folders and identifying information). HP also has built-in, always-on tracking capabilities—part of HP Touchpoint Manager—which lets IT managers track down lost and stolen laptops with ease. This is on top of standard security features, like a TPM chip, Intel vPro management, and the aforementioned fingerprint reader for biometric security.
The system boasts a 256GB solid-state drive (SSD). It's the same size storage found in both the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro and the Dell XPS 13 Touch, and twice the size of the 128GB of storage found in the standard Apple MacBook Air 13-inch.
HP may put several security tools and business utilities on that drive, but of all the preinstalled stuff, very little could be considered bloatware. Most are tools, like HP Sure Start, Absolute Data Protect, Foxit PhantomPDF Express, and Microsoft Security Essentials. There is also a 30-day free trial of Microsoft Office, but most companies already have a group license for its office solution of choice. With purchase, HP covers the EliteBook Folio 1020 with a standard one-year warranty, which is a little short for a business product likely to see three to five years of use. Extended protection plans are available, but at an additional cost (prices vary by plan).
