Source: Computer Shopper Archive.org version
Business laptops have gotten appreciably thinner and lighter in recent years. HP's latest EliteBook is about as slim, light, and attractive as Apple's MacBook, but with more ports, thoughtful business-focused features, excellent input devices, and long battery life. If you need to travel light, it's one of the best business laptops we've tested to date.

The EliteBook Folio G1 is an ideal size for productivity users on the go, providing enough room for a full-size keyboard and a screen that can show plenty of content without making you squint. With strong performance, a colorful display, a world-class typing experience, accurate face logins and a drop-friendly design, HP's laptop also ticks off most of the boxes we'd put on a checklist for making the ultimate ultrabook.

Source: Trusted Reviews Archive.org version
The Folio is light, slim and good-looking, and HP has crammed a superb screen and a decent range of business features into its svelte frame. Compromises have been made elsewhere, though, which means that other notebooks are faster, longer-lasting and cheaper.

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.
