HP Elitebook Folio 1020 is powered by Intel's new Core M processors and features a 12.5-inch Quad HD display.

The Intel powered chips gives the new HP machine good speed and its fanless design makes minimal noise while running. The laptop has an integrated "always on" feature that enables device tracking using GPS even when the OS is shut down. Owners of HP Elitebook Folio 1020 can remotely erase all the data in case the machine is lost and bears any confidential data.
Other features of the Elitebook Folio 1020 include a 720p webcam, speakers with HD audio and DTS studio sound by HP along with noise reduction technology. The laptop is equipped with a premium keyboard, which is the first for any laptop by HP.
