Elite Folio highlights the premium qualities of HP's Elite lineup; comprising a 3:2 aspect ratio, an always-charged garaged pen, magnesium chassis, and compact design. Folio design incorporates an articulating touch-display that "pulls forward" and transitions from laptop to an "up-right" tablet for viewing and "lay-flat" tablet for writing and drawing. We used recycled magnesium for the enclosure, and wrapped it in vegan leather to evoke the feel of a traditional paper notebook. The leather doubles as the hinge function.
