“upgradeable to 8GB”

Are you 100% positive that it supports 8Gb as the Repair manual states 4Gb max! Also if you want to replace the mSata hard drive a person would have to remove 16 screws (FYI)

Dear SlashGear,

Can we expect the above-mentioned, longer post-CES review soon? It’s much anticipated.

@Andrew Lee – if it had a better screen, it would not cost 900 bucks. It’s all about tradeoffs… I’d rather take the good build, future-proof processor, SSD and backlit keys over a screen that, for office work (for which this thing will be used anyways, since it’s not strong enough for graphic work). You can, of course, find a no-compromise ultrabook, the MacBook Air – but it does cost you almost 50% more.

I agree with Prevacator.
I think if this hp folio had a brighter, better screen it’d be a perfect ultrabook/ thin laptop.
I guess this hp has done well with exception to 1 deficiency – screen.

I’ve still yet to find the perfect 13″ Ultraportable. They all seem to be lacking in something, while excelling in others. The Folio has the best number of ports, the Portege has PHYSICAL mouse buttons, the Asus UX has the best screen resolution, the Lenovo U300s has the best build quality and premium feeling.

They all seem to excel in one area, but lack in other areas that the competition then ironically excels in. Who knows, maybe the Ivy Bridge Ultraportables will bring some real choices.
