Bluetooth is included, and optional 4G broadband connectivity. There's no HDMI, since this is a "business" laptop, but HDMI is so universal at this point I can't understand the omission. The Folio has plenty of connections - a side docking port for business use to connect to sold-separately dock, dedicated Ethernet, an SD card slot, three USB 3.0 ports, and both VGA and DisplayPort. The lack of a touch screen wouldn't matter if HP had nailed the touch-pad experience. The brightness levels are relatively dim, the screen resolution is low-res for this price tier, and screen size compared with those on laptops such as Apple's Retina Display MacBook Pro and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

The 14-inch, touch-free 1,366x768-pixel display is antiglare, but that's about the only thing it does well.

I wished I could reach up and touch the screen instead. It's not a click pad, either: separate buttons lie below (that makes four buttons framing the HP touch pad, all told). The glass surface is certainly big and wide enough, but it was unreliable when I navigated around doing everyday work and Web browsing. Most would prefer the touch pad - if the touch pad actually worked perfectly. Even on touch-oriented Windows 8, the rubber pointer wasn't such a bad way to go. Tiny dedicated top buttons turn Airplane Mode on and off and toggle mute.Ī rubberized concave pointer has been added between the G, H, and B keys, with additional buttons above the extra-large multitouch glass touch pad. A squared, chiclet-style backlit and spill-resistant keyboard feels very similar to Apple's design in terms of initial appearance, or what you'll find on many recent HP laptops.
