The Elitebook Folio 1040 G1 has two USB 3.0 ports and a DisplayPort connector onboard, while VGA and Ethernet connectivity is supported via an included connector. The ultrabook has a great keyboard, nice screen to work with but its touchpad takes getting used to.
The Elitebook 1040 G1 has fast internal hardware, with an SSD thrown into the mix no less, ensuring you don’t feel the performance pinch using most business applications. And while we clocked 3 hours 17 minutes of battery in our benchmark tests, the EliteBook 1040 G1 is still not the fastest ultrabook we’ve tested this year. It’s fast, faster than most laptops you’ll encounter, but just not the fastest.
Definitely worth considering, especially with its 3 year warranty (included in the price).
