The latest Ultrabook in my collection is the HP Folio. The HP Folio is a slim, business-focused 13” notebook with a rich, glossy display, and incredible battery life. Like other PCs built for business, the HP Folio comes with Windows 7 Professional, TPM, on-board Ethernet, and business-level service and support options. The HP Folio has some great user experience aspects for both work and play. For work, the keyboard and battery life are exceptional.

For the past few weeks I’ve been mentioning that you’ll soon need Windows Phone 7.5 installed on your phone to buy, download, or update apps from Marketplace. (This applies to both the phone and web storefronts, by the way.)
