HP positions it as a business-grade laptop that eschews an optical drive for portability and crams in a battery that the company says is good for up to 9.5 hours. The HP Folio 13 also includes a number of business-centric capabilities ignored by other computer makers.

You can use the Pavilion dm1 for basic office work, social networking, as well as for watching videos on your TV.
