how does it compare with the hp folio

I was also deciding between the folio and this laptop. For the price I paid, $700, I find it better than the folio. The keyboard is good, no flex. The mouse pad is good as well. The battery life isn't as good, but the design is much better. Overall it is comparably better than the folio if you can live with a shorter battery life.

I have not used HP Folio. I have used many other laptops. This is something outstanding, I can tell. Very nice and anyone will be satisfied, unless super-picky.

Hello, I have used HP and Dell in the past. I use wireless keyboard and mouse at home while connected to a 2nd monitor, that way I can choose the best fit for me. When traveling I take only my laptop. The mouse pad is able to be set to individual preferences. The keyboard is comfortable for my larger hands which slows me down a bit but otherwise it is adequate. This computer can be set for touch transfer from other devices and is very fast in downloads and general processing. For the price, the quality is great and so far very dependable. Windows 8 was a bit of a learning curve but now it makes me even faster shifting between applications. Hope this is helpful.

It keeps all my papers crisp. I use the pockets mostly for scantrons. I can fit a few, not a bunch of papers in the pockets, but that doesnt bother me because the folio itself will protect the pages without having to put them in the pocket.

For Financial, the HP 10bii is tops. It has big display, comma separator (very few calc have this), and easy to use TVM functions. I'm an accounting major and I've been using the HP since day one and never looked back. I don't know about TI but I'm not fond of them. I have a TI graphics calc but the display is too small, they try to pack too many functions and with the new iPad calculator apps I think scientific calculators are on going the way of the dino. JMHO

I do not have the Pro. Check the description for the folio. I believe it stated it did not work with the Pro version.

Scrolling feels pretty smooth to me. There is some friction but its scrolling is smoother than the Kensington expert that I got a few years ago where you can feel bumps as you scroll.

According to HP, the Platinum editition is 6X faster than the regular one. While this might be true, it is however not worth to pay 50% more. The traditional one exceeds my expectations anyway. After all, at least for myself, an average user of this calculator would not notice the speed difference under normal circumstances. So, my suggestion would be, stick to the older one and save about $23.

I believe the touch cover is more sensitive, allowing you to type faster ... at least that's my take on it. The claim is that it is 2 times faster which I doubt. However, if you do a lot of typing or data entry, it then may be worth getting a touch cover.

If your asking about dragon touch, if its any good, not all that great. I would just get the kindle 8gb. That's what I plan to do.

Not at all! I've owned it a few months and absolutely love it. I'm usually HP loyal, but I'm so glad I bought this machine. Very fast and very cool.

The cover is much sturdier than a notebook. We used last year's version last year and it held up really well.

Go to the HP website. You can do a side by side comparison of the two models. There are a few slight differences that may or may not made a difference to you based on your usage. When I bought mine in Jan through amazon the price was $749. So prices must be coming down or amazon was able to get a good deal, because it cost more at HP.

Absolutely. Not sure about exact specs for it but i believe its 10 points. I notice no difference in touchscreen responsiveness between it and my nexus 7, evo3d, or hp touchpad. In fact i really dont have the 'fat finger' issues that i have with all those others with this laptop. To me its like a really powerful tablet just with a keyboard attached to it.

I would still buy the Nook HD+, the screen is better, the operating system isn't as locked down (IE I can install regular android on it and use it as a normal tablet, it had a microsd slot and even the native ebook software is superior. I use mine with the free Calibre on the computer (which can convert any ebook file to any other ebook file and am able to read books from anywhere. If you aren't just using it as an ebook and are unwilling to learn to put a normal operating system on it I would probably look at another tablet as an option. I will say this has far better specs ( screen /processor/memory) at a lower price than any almost comparable tablets!

I agree, this is SO much better than the Tab (I had a 2/7). I can't speak to the current Tab but the difference in battery life is remarkable and the S-Pen is terrific. If you want something for productivity as well as fun, go for the Note! I use my Note all the time, particularly for marking up PDFs.

There are only small differences in the two such as the idea pad having more memory but slightly less processing power. Overall the two are very similar both in price and performance which makes user preference the real deciding factor.

395g the new ultra thin folio is 285g but is also slightly larger and bulkier. I like this one a lot better and weight makes a big difference to me. even with the extra 100g the compactness of this model makes it worth it.
