The HP Elitebook Folio Notebook PC (W8H05PA) is slim, light weight and sleek. It comes with Windows 10 Pro 64 OS, an Intel Core m7-6Y75 with Intel HD Graphics 515 (1.2 GHz, up to 3.1 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 4 MB cache, 2 cores) processor, 8 GB LPDDR3-1866 SDRAM memory, 256 GB M.2 SATA MLC SED SSD hard drive, Intel 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (2x2) and Bluetooth 4.2 Combo wireless, integrated Intel HD Graphics, and a long life 4-cell, 38 Wh Li-ion polymer battery.

The HP Elitebook Folio Notebook PC (W8H05PA) gets it's sexiness by taking advantage of two Thunderbolt 3 ports to channel all the digital connectivity you could ever need in two slim USB Type-C ports that gives the notebook its ultra slim form factor.  No more fat ugly connectors for power, data, or video.  With Thunderbolt 3, you can get 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt links, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gb/s), Display Port 1.2, and USB Power Delivery to both charge the notebook as well as provide power and quick charging to other peripherals.
