Windows 8 in a business laptop: well, it needed to happen sooner or later, but in the case of the Elitebook Folio 9470m, the execution feels premature and expensive. It's a shame, because the 9470m is a direct descendent of last year's HP Folio 13 ultrabook, a device I considered at the time to be among the best in its class and recommended to everybody.

A lot has changed in a year. Thin ultrabooks have given way to touch-screen, often convertible/tablet devices. And among ultrabooks, there are tons more to choose from. Touch isn't necessary to enjoy a Windows 8, but when a laptop lacks touch altogether -- as does the Elitebook Folio 9470m -- it feels like an omission that has to be made up with a superlative touch pad, and this Folio doesn't do that. Granted, this Folio came out at the end of last year, but this expensive albeit highly configurable laptop already feels a little outmoded. The HP Elitebook Revolve, coming out soon, feels like the Windows 8 business travel ultraportable of choice. This Folio is more of a workhorse ultrabook, if such a thing exists.

This 14-inch laptop is larger and thicker than you'd expect, although it does pack awfully impressive battery life. It feels constructed to be a slim road warrior, but its specs aren't incredibly impressive. It's an ultrabook without touch -- and a thickish, expensive one at that. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a lighter, similarly outfitted business laptop, with touch, too.

That $1,349 is a lot to pay for a modern laptop. It makes the Elitebook Folio 9470 a more expensive product than the MacBook Air, and -- let's face it -- most executives would prefer the Air. But it also has a lot more ports and security features, not to mention Windows 8 Pro. Think of its real competition as a machine like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which bears a similar price tag and specs.

That's not to say the Folio doesn't have its charms. Understand, the Folio looks like a business laptop because it is one: an elegantly compact one at that. The two-tone magnesium (silver on the top, black underneath) has a soft-touch finish. Everything from the cleanly inset matte 14-inch screen to the crisp black keyboard and its small set of tiny, LED-lit buttons above it feel part of a just-this-side-of-boxy industrialized-crisp look.

It won't surprise anyone used to a MacBook Air or other slim ultrabook, but this feels nicer than an older, thicker laptop. Unfortunately, the Folio lacks an optical drive, and its internal specs really aren't much better than what you'd find on the smaller Dell XPS 13. At 3.6 pounds, it weighs less than most mainstream laptops, but it's heavier than your average 13-inch ultrabook. It feels like a slightly bigger, more mature version of the HP Folio 13, albeit, also without the same appeal or novelty of that previous machine.

A squared, chiclet-style backlit and spill-resistant keyboard feels very similar to Apple's design in terms of initial appearance, or what you'll find on many recent HP laptops. Tiny dedicated top buttons turn Airplane Mode on and off and toggle mute.

A rubberized concave pointer has been added between the G, H, and B keys, with additional buttons above the extra-large multitouch glass touch pad. Even on touch-oriented Windows 8, the rubber pointer wasn't such a bad way to go. Most would prefer the touch pad -- if the touch pad actually worked perfectly. The glass surface is certainly big and wide enough, but it was unreliable when I navigated around doing everyday work and Web browsing. It's not a click pad, either: separate buttons lie below (that makes four buttons framing the HP touch pad, all told). I wished I could reach up and touch the screen instead. Alas, I couldn't.

The 14-inch, touch-free 1,366x768-pixel display is antiglare, but that's about the only thing it does well. The brightness levels are relatively dim, the screen resolution is low-res for this price tier, and screen size compared with those on laptops such as Apple's Retina Display MacBook Pro and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon. The lack of a touch screen wouldn't matter if HP had nailed the touch-pad experience. It didn't.

Additional bells and whistles include a fingerprint reader (on the right palm rest), a 720p Webcam, and a side docking port. HP also offers a suite of software security features, and the Intel platform includes vPro for enterprise and business use.

Ports and configurations
The Folio has plenty of connections -- a side docking port for business use to connect to sold-separately dock, dedicated Ethernet, an SD card slot, three USB 3.0 ports, and both VGA and DisplayPort. There's no HDMI, since this is a 'business' laptop, but HDMI is so universal at this point I can't understand the omission. Bluetooth is included, and optional 4G broadband connectivity.

Our review configuration of the Elitebook Folio has a 1.8GHz Intel Core i5-3427 CPU, the same as the recently reviewed ThinkPad X1 Carbon. In fact, every other spec is the same as that Carbon, too: 4GB of RAM, Intel HD 4000 graphics, and a 180GB SSD. You can configure the Folio with a 320 or 500GB 7,200rpm hard drive, too (self-encrypting, even), or up to 256GB SSD.

Performance and battery life
In our tests, the Folio 9470m was a little behind the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, but it handled as well as any other ultrabook in its class. That's a pretty big class. There are no dedicated graphics options: Intel HD 4000 graphics are good enough for most everyday use and even some games, but it won't hold a candle to midrange Nvidia or AMD dedicated graphics.

This Folio shines when it comes to battery life: at 7 hours and 3 minutes using our video-playback test, it's well above the rest of the pack. Web surfing or extended video streaming would lower that number, but it's really hard to do much better right now than this in a mainstream laptop.

HP includes a standard one-year warranty, extendable up to three years, plus a one-year battery warranty and toll-free 24-7 phone support.

Conclusion
The Elitebook Folio 9470m is a light, full-featured variation on the business ultrabook, with all the security extras, ports, and solid construction you'd want and a killer battery life. It lacks originality, and has a high price tag. The lower-res screen lacks touch, and the entire laptop feels too traditional for its own good. Traditionalists may love it, but keep in mind that more flexible computers are available, including forthcoming models from HP; the Elitebook Revolve bears serious consideration.

HP updates their drivers regularly. To get the latest Windows 10 driver, you may need to go to HP website to find the driver for to your specific Windows version and device model.

Step 2 - Install Your Driver

After you download your new driver, then you have to install it. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.

How to Open Device Manager

  • In Windows 8.1 & Windows 10, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager

  • In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose 'All Apps' -> swipe or scroll right and choose 'Control Panel' (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager

  • In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager

  • In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button

How to Install drivers using Device Manager

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.

If you are having trouble installing your driver, you should use the Driver Update Utility for HP. It is a software utility that automatically finds, downloads and installs the right driver for your system. You can even backup your drivers before making any changes, and revert back in case there were any problems.

Try it now to safely update all of your drivers in just a few clicks. Once you download and run the utility, it will scan for out-of-date or missing drivers:

When the scan is complete, the driver update utility will display a results page showing which drivers are missing or out-of-date. You can update individual drivers, or all of the necessary drivers with one click.
