Companies in CES 2021 are ready to impress. HP continues to bet on the segment it knows well and despite having made several launches today, the highlight is the Elite Folio, a portable computer with foldable parts. The HP Elite Folio is a 2 in 1 (laptop + tablet) has a 13,5-inch 3: 2 aspect ratio, with Full HD resolution.
Focus on battery life
HP used the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 processor, which has low consumption, to the point that HP officially promises a 24,5-hour battery life with the following conditions:
- Full HD video playback with brightness set to 150 nits,
- Loudspeakers at 16% of maximum volume,
- File stored locally (that is, do not test this autonomy with a 24-hour video from Youtube or another streaming service)
- No Modem, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth activity.
With this autonomy, all HP journalists and users want to know: how big is this battery? HP "hid the game", but revealed that it will be possible to charge the battery from 0% to 90% in 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Storage
RAM, depending on the notebook model, can reach up to 16 GB.
The SSD can reach up to 512 GB.
Chamber
The device has a 720p webcam, obviously HP did not want to waste time on this detail, but in a time of pandemic and the fever of video calls and live streams, it might be better to rethink.
Extras
For those who need to draw, there is a touch-sensitive pen that can be stored inside the keyboard.
The device comes ready to accept 5G connections, but HP promises a model for 4G (which will probably be cheaper).
