HP EliteBook Folio 1020 is Another MacBook Air Rival


HP has just revealed a new business laptop that once again is trying to compete for the MacBook Air market just like Toshiba’s Kira and Lenovo’s Yoga Pro 3. The upcoming HP EliteBook Folio 1020 is scheduled to launch by early 2015 and thanks to Intel’s new Core M processors, HP is able to keep the weight and thickness of the laptop in check.


The laptop will be offered in two flavors, a QHD (2560 x 1440 pixel) model and a Full HD variant. There will also be options for touchscreen and non-touchscreen displays for both models. The device’s body will be made from magnesium-lithium while carbon will be the material of choice for the bottom of the product.

HP has also gone to great lengths to ensure that the Folio 1020 will be durable. In fact, the machine is MIL-STD-810G certified, which means that it is drop resistant, shock resistant and can withstand extreme temperatures.


The Folio 1020 is said to have a battery life of up to 9 hours and comes with HP’s Client Management Solutions and optional LANDesk and Intel VPro technology to easily help the device fit in into a business’s existing IT infrastructure. Other notable features include improved enterprise-class security such as TPM 1.2/2.0 (Trusted Platform Module), pre-boot authentication and a fingerprint reader.

No word on pricing yet, but as it will be an enterprise machine, we expect its price to go beyond the $1000 mark.
