HP is introducing a new 2-in-1 convertible with an ARM processor at the CES 2021. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 of the HP Elite Folio offers not only improved performance compared to its predecessor, but also an X 55 5G modem for fast data connections on the go.

The display of the Elite Folio offers a 3: 2 ratio and, together with the integrated stylus, is reminiscent of a Microsoft Surface device. The resolution is 1. 920 x 1. 280 pixels, Gorilla Glass 5 is also used. In addition, there are up to 16 GB LPDDR4x main memory and an NVMe M.2 SSD with a capacity of up to 512 GB. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0 are available for wireless connections. A highlight is the battery, which should allow a runtime of up to 24, 5 hours with local video playback. The quick charge function should also be able to charge 90% of the battery in just 90 minutes.

In addition, the notebook has two USB-C and one headphone connection. The device is about 16 millimeters thick and weighs around 1, 29 kg. In times of home office, the webcam should of course not be missing. HP uses an infrared webcam for the Elite Folio, which enables a quick login via Windows Hello. The convertible also has four speakers with tuning from Bang & Olufsen and several microphones with support for Cortana Far Field Premium.

Delivery is expected to start in February 2021. HP has not yet commented on the prices.
