![]() You can imagine that a Haswell processor would help battery life, much like it has with most laptops we've seen. The Helix, in tablet mode using one battery, matched what the Revolve 810 provides in a larger form. The included six-cell battery is removable, but the ThinkPad Helix, similarly sized, had two batteries providing far better battery life (7 hours, 37 minutes). In our benchmarks, this Revolve 810 with its slightly different Core i5 processor came out slightly ahead of the similar Lenovo ThinkPad Helix, and was faster than the IdeaPad Yoga 11S.īuilt-in Intel HD 4000 graphics combine with the Core i5 to provide a suitably zippy environment for everyday computing: the Revolve is quick to start up and launch programs, and feels fast enough.īattery life is another story: we only eked out 4 hours and 45 minutes in our video playback test. ![]() That doesn't mean much for overall speed, but it could be a factor in the unimpressive battery life results. The included Core i3 and i5 processor options aren't part of the latest fourth-gen Haswell family of Intel processors. It still looks like IT department-issued equipment, but sports a clean-cut industrial profile. The Revolve is clearly a laptop that can pretend to be a tablet. The HP ElitePad 900 is an example of an Atom-powered tablet with laptoplike extras the EliteBook Revolve 810, on the other hand, is a more expensive, ultrabook-level performance device on par with the Surface Pro and a host of other laptops like the Yoga 11S and the ThinkPad Twist and Helix. It also happens to transform into a multitouch tablet, unlike other hybrids that are more like tablets that add separate keyboards to pretend to be laptops. The EliteBook Revolve isn't the Folio reborn, but it has a bit of that feel in a smaller 11.6-inch laptop. I remember the HP Folio 13 fondly: it was a compact business ultrabook that felt rock-solid and surprisingly comfortable.
