The price of ultrabook Folio 13 of HP, which should compete favourably with the Toshiba Z830 to (almost) equal equipment is finally known.
A few weeks ago, HP announced its first ultrabook: Folio 13, oriented to professionals. A portable computer that does not exceed 18 mm thick, all aboard a battery that provides 9: 30 of autonomy on paper and that starts in a few seconds only. In short, it was only missing a detail - weight: price.
It is now made, because HP has to communicate sales begin for the Folio 13 with an interesting model sold from $ 899,99. It is therefore well below $ 1000, and it was right for this price slab LED 13.3 "in 1366 x 768, a Core i5-2467M running at 1.6 GHz (with Intel HD 3000 graphics circuit) supported by 4 GB of DDR3, and a 128 GB SSD. The equipment includes a HD Webcam, Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi n, Bluetooth, a memory card reader, HDMI output, with Dolby Advanced Audio and compatibility WiDi.
