HP Inc. announced that it has delivered on the promise to reinvent the PC by bringing premium consumer design into a commercial-grade device with the HP EliteBook Folio- the thinnest and lightest notebook HP has ever created. 21% slimmer and up to 15% lighter than the award-winning HP EliteBook 1020, the EliteBook Folio is the company's sleekest business-class notebook to date, at only 12.4 mm - thinner than a AA-battery and under 1 kg. The EliteBook Folio is a 12.5-inch diagonal notebook, featuring premium craftsmanship with a polished diamond-cut CNC aluminum body to deliver an ultra-thin design that provides strength and durability.

Like the Elite family of devices, the EliteBook Folio is designed to pass MIL-STD tests, undergoing 120,000 hours of HP's Total Test Process3. As work becomes something accomplished in different locations throughout the day, the 145-degree angle of a typical notebook can be restrictive to productivity. To address this, the EliteBook Folio has a 180-degree piano hinge, allowing the device to open completely flat, giving users greater flexibility and the ability to easily share and collaborate with others around them.

The device also comes with the full-size, highly acclaimed HP Premium Keyboard, a Windows 10 gesture-enabled clickpad, and two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 3 for fast data transfers and 4K displays. Users can ditch the dongles with the optional HP USB-C Travel Dock. The edge-to-edge glass display of the EliteBook Folio also has an optional Ultra HD (UHD) 4K display, which provides a paper-like display with stunning detail, made possible by an incredible pixel density of 352 pixels per inch.

The UHD panel enables 95% of the Adobe RGB gamut to make images more vivid and life-like. For people who require all-day productivity and performance, the company worked with Microsoft Corp. and Intel on the development of the EliteBook Folio, tuning device drivers and the design to optimize performance and battery life.

The device includes Windows 10 Pro and is built with an optional 6th generation Intel Core M vPro processor4,5, optimized for high performance and efficiency. This gives the EliteBook Folio the optimal blend of beauty, power, fanless operation and up to 10 hours of battery life. The design and materials of the device also allowed HP engineers to maximize space for an HP Long Life Battery, built to last more than three years 7.Built to Connect with Others People are using their notebooks to connect with colleagues, friends and family more than ever before.

Customers shared that using their notebook for calling and conferencing with others still has its challenges. That's why HP and Microsoft's Skype for Business team worked closely on the development of the EliteBook Folio to create the first notebook purpose-built for collaboration 8.
