Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Hp Laptop Battery
Business users shopping for an Ultrabook want more than a sleek design and fast boot time. They need a chassis that can take a beating, strong security, and full docking capabilities. Oh, and don't forget Ethernet and VGA ports. HP's Elitebook Folio 9470m ($1,049, $1,349 as configured) with battery like Hp CGR-B1870AE Battery, Hp DD880A Battery, Hp DM842A Battery, Hp DP390A Battery, Hp DP399A Battery, Hp EF419A Battery, Hp EG417AA Battery, Hp EV087AA Battery, Hp EV088AA Battery, Hp EX941AA Battery, Hp EX942AA Battery, Hp F1739A Battery offers all of the above, along with a Core i5 CPU and SSD. How does this 3.6-pound machine stack up to the competition?
With its 1.8-GHz Intel Core i-5 3427U CPU, 180GB Intel SSD, 4GB of RAM and integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics, the HP EliteBook Folio 9470m provides solid but not spectacular performance. On PCMark7, a synthetic benchmark that measures overall performance, the 9470m scored 4,496, comfortably above the 3,208 ultraportable notebook category average, but behind the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with the same CPU (5,297) and the 1.7-GHz Core i5-3317U-powered Toshiba Portege Z935-P300's score of 5,486.
The 180GB Intel SSD booted into Windows 8 in a fairly swift 21 seconds, which is much faster than 32-second category average, which includes many Windows 7 systems. However, the Windows 8-powered ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch booted in just 16 seconds.
The drive took just 43 seconds to complete the LAPTOP File Transfer Test, which involves copying 4.97GB of mixed media files. That's a rate of 118.4 MBps, much faster than the 78.7 MBps category average, but not quite as fast as the Toshiba Portege Z935's rate of 164.2 MBps or the MacBook Pro's mark of 195.7 MBps.
The HP EliteBook Folio 9470m is definitely fast enough to crunch video, as it took just 20 seconds to transcode a 5-minute HD video to iPod touch format using Cyberlink Media Espresso. This time is three times faster than the 1-minute and 6-second category average, but a bit slower than ThinkPad X1 Carbon (12 seconds).
The 9470m was not quite as fast as its peers when it came to crunching numbers on the OpenOffice Spreadsheet macro test, where matches 20,000 names with their addresses. The notebook took a mediocre 8 minutes and 29 seconds to complete the test, a bit slower than the 7:12 category average and a couple of minutes behind the original X1 Carbon's time of 5:37.
With its default battery, the HP EliteBook Folio 9740m lasted a strong 7 hours and 4 minutes on the LAPTOP Battery Test, which involves continuous surfing over Wi-Fi at 40 percent brightness. That time is nearly an hour longer than the ultraportable notebook average (6:10) , but more than a half hour behind the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (7:45) and the MacBook Pro with Retina Display (7:38).
Unlike the MacBook or the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, the Elitebook Folio 9470m has a removable battery so you can always carry a spare. Even better, you can purchase a $199 slice battery that HP says will add up to 10 additional hours of endurance.
