HP is jumping into the ultrabook market with the introduction of the HP Folio. The $ 900 portable packs a lot of power in its small, light form factor, but is it enough to handle business computing on the go?

Don’t confuse the ultrabook with the netbook–they are two entirely different machines. The netbook may have paved the way for the ultrabook concept with cheap, tiny laptops, but netbooks were always underpowered, handicapped versions of their notebook relatives. The meteoric rise of the netbook was cut short by the advent of the iPad and other tablets, and has fallen from grace more or less.
