Reviews for the HP EliteBook Folio G1-V1C36EA

Review: HP Elitebook Folio G1 business class laptop
Source: Bill Bennett English Archive.org version
HP has returned to form in recent months. The HP Spectre is excellent, the Elitebook Folio G1 is as good. It is an unfussy business laptop. HP designed it for companies and corporate buyers. It has corporate features like Intel vPro support which IT professionals use to manage PCs in organisations. There is a dedicated communications button that can link to Skype for Business.

60% HP EliteBook Folio G1 review - the Windows 10 Macbook replacement?
Source: Expert Reviews English Archive.org version
This is such a shame, as the HP Elitebook Folio G1 looks every bit like the ultimate Windows 10 ultraportable. It’s desirable and its premium, lightweight looks should make it the most sought after device HP’s ever made. Sadly, it’s all undermined by its terrible battery life and underwhelming performance, which at this kind of price just isn’t acceptable. The XPS 13 might not be quite as slender, but when it’s both faster and longer-lasting, and has an equally gorgeous display and top class build quality, the G1 just can’t compete.

We’ve been fond of previous HP laptops, so the lack of attention to detail in the HP EliteBook Folio G1 is surprising. From responsiveness, performance and cooling to battery life and ergonomics, HP has fumbled the ball with the design of this ultra portable laptop.

80% HP EliteBook Folio G1 (1080p HD)
Source: PC Mag English Archive.org version
Compared with its 4K-equipped sibling, whose sharp looks and generally compelling feature set it shares, the 1080p HD version of the HP EliteBook Folio G1 trades screen resolution and storage space for more battery life and a smaller price tag. For that reason, we think it's a better buy for most users. That said, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon also has an attractive minimalist design, but increases the screen resolution; adds multiple traditional I/O connectors like HDMI and USB 3.0, a spill-resistant keyboard, and longer battery life; and boasts superior performance that helps offset its slightly heavier weight and higher price, so it's still our Editors' Choice for business laptops.

Review: HP EliteBook Folio G1 offers lightweight business computing
Source: Computerworld.com English Archive.org version
Thin, light and with one of the best keyboards this side of a desktop PC, the Folio twins -- both the touch and non-touch models -- are easy to use and travel with. They are well equipped and deliver the right balance of performance, manageability and security. While the more powerful, long-lasting and cheaper HD model appeals to the left, more logical side of my brain, the right side dominates here and I lust after the incredibly bright, rich and useful UHD touch model.

Ревю на HP EliteBook Folio G1 – елитният ултрабук
Source: Laptop Mag English Archive.org version
Изклюително здрав 12-инчов ултрабук с добра цена и очаквани характеристики. Има добър дисплей (единствено sRGB покритието не е оптимално), добри клавиатура и тъчпад и много дълъг живот на батерията. Всички важни особености за бизнес устройство за налични.
Positive: High mobility; compact size; lightweight; good ergonomy. Negative: Poor display; only 2 USB-C.

Comment

Model: The HP EliteBook Folio G1-V1C36EA is an entry-level laptop built for casual or light usage. With Intel Core m7-6Y75 CPU, integrated Intel HD Graphics 515 (1.2 GHz, up to 3.1 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 4 MB cache, 2 cores), 8 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB) and 512 GB M.2 SATA TLC SSD, the laptop can accomplish various task. Its ultra-slim 12.5-inch UHD UWVA LED touchscreen features a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels for sharp and contrast-rich images.

The non-touch display variant is 29.2 x 20.9 x 1.19 cm and weighs 0.97 kg, while the touchscreen model is a bit higher with 1.24 cm and heavier with 1.07 kg. However, both variants are very lightweight for users on-the-go. The connectivity includes two USB Type-C ports with Thunderbolt support (docking, charging and USB 3.1) and a headphone/microphone combo jack. For wireless connectivity, the laptop features an Intel 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) and Bluetooth 4.2 combo.

Intel HD Graphics 515: Integrated GPU (GT2) with 24 EUs found on Core-m-CPUs of the Skylake generation (4,5 W TDP).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

6Y75: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for tablets and 2-in-1 notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 515 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


12.50":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.

In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.


73.33%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
