HP unveils its first business Ultrabook

MANILA, Philippines - HP has unveiled its first business Ultrabook, which features a thin and light design, strong security options and a responsive solid-state hard drive for the ultimate mobile experience.

The HP Folio13 also delivers up to nine hours of battery life, the highest performance available among Ultrabook devices currently on the market.

With battery life to get you through the workday, users are no longer saddled with carrying power adapters to charge their notebook PC. Plus, a wide array of ports, including Ethernet, eliminates the need to carry cumbersome dongles. Mobile professionals can now stay productive and get through their entire business day - from home to business and back home - with only the HP Folio13.

“This category of product breaks new ground and will be a likely choice for businesses to offer to employees looking for a more consumer centric experience,” said Albert Mateo, general manager of the Personal Systems Group of HP Philippines.

“We expect Ultrabooks will re-ignite interest in the small form factor PC category, and by 2015 we expect 95 million Ultrabook will be shipping worldwide annually,” Mateo added.

Measuring less than 0.75-inch thin and utilizing an ultra slim 13.3-inch diagonal high-definition (HD) BrightView display, the HP Folio13 weighs just 1.5 kilos. 

Powered by the latest Intel Core processors, the HP Folio13 also includes Intel Rapid Start technology which gets your system up and running fast to help you save time.

The HP Folio13 includes a backlit keyboard for mobile users who work in low-light conditions. A full array of ports, including RJ-45 and USB 3.0, allows users greater flexibility to connect to the information they need.

The HP Folio13 also includes a solid-state drive (SSD) with 128 GB of storage for fast response times and increased reliability.

The HP Folio13 features HP CoolSense technology, which uses advanced hardware and intelligent software for a noticeably cooler notebook. It also includes an HP Imagepad for highly accurate, advanced multi-touch gesture support.

Additional features include an HP TrueVision HD Webcam for brighter, cleaner HD images, and Dolby Advanced Audio.

Users who need a desktop-like environment or additional audio, video, network and USB connectivity can connect the HP Folio13 to the HP USB 2.0 dock.

The HP Folio13 is expected to be available from January onwards with a starting price of P55,990.
