HP's EliteBook line is all about business. That often means design that's less about sleek lines and more about packing in the ports and battery life. This is why many of HP's business laptops look like they came from a time capsule buried in the sands ab...

Pleasingly thin and light, the HP Elitebook Folio 9470m delivers several business-friendly extras, and its solid-state drive makes it speedy on many tasks. But it's a bit short on storage and system memory, and it's pricey for a 14-inch laptop...
