Review Update HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G1 (F2R72UT) Ultrabook

[Redaktion]

Business luxury. Our latest Folio 1040 G1 review unit arrived with a 1080p IPS display panel and an upgraded CPU—not to mention a bevy of preloaded security software to make corporate IT life easier. Is this business as usual, or was it worth the wait?

Notebook is expensive, yes. I have the i5 version you reviewed last month, and I find this terrific.

To anyone considering this: Don't be put off by the negative review of the ForcePad. It's an absolutely amazing touchpad. I have not used better in ANY laptop. After the learning curve it's an absolute pleasure to use. Input devices are great on this machine.

Wifi reception is excellent, battery life can be much improved by some tweaks. Overall this is an excellent computer (even with the TN panel I have).

The clicking noise does plague some of the notebooks, though. I had that on mine and got it replaced, it's not there on the replacement.

I am interested in the H5F66EA variation, which is a 4600U equipped model. I am quite concerned about the throttling issues noticed on this 4650U model. Do you know if these issues are also present on the 4600U ones?

Hello,

Does anyone know whether a model with Intel HD 5000 is available in Europe? It seems to be only for North America as far as I can see.

Thanks in advance
