HP Folio 13 vs. Lenovo IdeaPad U300s: Battle of the two Ultrabooks

Lenovo had debuted in the Ultrabook market in India with the launch of the IdeaPad U300s in November last year.

This year HP also joined the Ultrabook fray with HP Folio 13. We bring to you a detailed comparison between the IdeaPad U300s and HP Folio 13...

HP	Brand	Lenovo
Folio 13	Model	IdeaPad U300s
	SPECS
Intel Core i5-2467M	Processor	Intel Core i5-2467M
1600	Clock Speed (MHz)	2000
4 GB	RAM	4 GB
	Quite clearly, the Lenovo IdeaPad has more power available, thanks to the faster processor. Same amounts of RAM though.	Winner!
Intel HD Graphics 3000	Graphics	Intel HD Graphics 3000
Tie!	Ultrabooks arent meant for gaming. At the moment, the focus is on power, sleekness and good battery life. However, we do think that gaming will be the focus of manufacturers soon.	Tie!
Solid State Drive (SSD)	Storage type	Solid State Drive (SSD)
128 GB	Storage capacity	128 GB
Windows 7 Premium 64-bit	OS	Windows 7 Premium 64-bit
Tie!	Solid State Drive means you can resume Windows from the Sleep state within seconds. Startup time is down to a dozen seconds. General OS performance will be snappy as well. No need to envy the MacBook Air users anymore!	Tie!
13.3	Screen Size (Inches)	13.3
LED backlit	Type of Panel	LED backlit
1366x768	Screen Resolution (Pixels)	1366x768
Tie!	Again, it is a tie. These displays are HD, and will be quite good for multimedia playback.	Tie!
Aluminum alloy	Chassis	Aluminum
0.7-inches	Thickness	0.59 inches
1.5 kg	Weight (kg)	1.33 kg
Too close to call!	Grudgingly, we have to agree with the spec sheet and give the award to the IdeaPad, more so because it is available in multiple colours. But cant discount the fact that the Folio looks stunning!	Too close to call!
69990	Price (Rs)	67990
	We wouldn’t really attach too much significance to the Rs 2000 price difference between the two - market forces will ensure that the final price at the store will be almost similar.
