HP EliteBook Folio 9470m first look

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m first look – business and enterprise features

The EliteBook Folio 9470m is designed for business users first and foremost, and that means two things – connectivity and security. Because offices are cluttered with vintage kit, the 9470m is kitted out with an array of legacy ports. So as well as the expected Ethernet and three USB 3.0 ports, you get the vintage delights of a VGA port, SD card reader, DisplayPort and Smart Card reader. Although HP promises multi-display support, it's been so busy stuffing the 9470m with legacy ports, it's forgotten to include an HDMI socket on this prototype – bad news if you want to connect to a modern display. HP does stress that the legacy ports are optional, so you may be able to swap one out for an HDMI.
