HP EliteBook Folio 9470m 14" i5-3437U 16 GB 256 GB SSD laptop

Business ultrabook for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is a 14.0-inch ultrabook built for business users who need a thin, light machine with a fingerprint reader and Windows 10 Pro. It weighs very little and measures 18.95 mm thin, so it fits easily into a briefcase for travel between offices or client sites. Integrated graphics and a dual-core processor handle email, documents and web apps without fan noise in quiet rooms.

Dual-core Ivy Bridge processor at 1.90 GHz

The Intel Core i5-3437U runs at a base frequency of 1.90 GHz and reaches a turbo frequency of 2.90 GHz on two cores. This specification decides whether the laptop can keep up with your workload; it suits single-threaded office tasks and light multitasking but will not sustain heavy rendering or compilation jobs. Buyers who need more cores or higher sustained clocks should look elsewhere.

16 GB DDR3 memory and 256 GB SSD

Sixteen gigabytes of DDR3 SDRAM gives comfortable headroom for dozens of browser tabs, Office suites and virtual machines. The 256 GB solid-state drive boots Windows 10 Pro in seconds and holds a large working set of files, though media libraries or engineering datasets will fill it quickly. Users who want more storage or a second drive bay cannot add one internally.
