Softer pop tunes such as Lana Del Rey's "Ultraviolence" and harder rock songs like the Foo Fighters' "Something From Nothing" both sounded crisp during their softer portions, but became muddy once louder background instruments kicked in.Ĭommon functions such as scrolling through webpages, dragging-and-dropping files and pushing down the bottom right corner to right click felt natural, as did touch commands like swiping between apps and pinching to zoom. The Elitebook's top-facing stereo speakers provide plenty of volume for hearing your co-workers during conference calls, but don't expect stellar music playback. That showing trails the MacBook Air's 2.5 and the 6.5 category average. The Elitebook isn't as color-accurate, however, with a Delta-E rating of 7.4 (0 is perfect). HP's notebook displayed a solid 95.3 percent of the sRGB color gamut, offering stronger color representation than the MacBook Air (63.3 percent) and the 70 percent ultraportable average. The notebook registered an average brightness of 224 nits, which falls behind the MacBook Air (288 nits), the ThinkPad Yoga (324 nits), the XPS 13 (356 nits) and the 259-nit category average. I did find the Elitebook's display a bit too dim, however, and this was reflected on our brightness test. The Elitebook 1020's solid chassis adheres to MIL-STD-810G standards, making it resistant to hazards such as dust, extreme temperatures and 4-foot drops, making it ready for that ever-dreaded slip from the conference room table. ![]() My skin looked paler than normal in my photos, and details like facial stubble and forehead wrinkles became blurred together.

The Elitebook 1020's thin edges pack a Kensington lock and HDMI, USB 2.0 and microSD ports on the left, with a DC-in, HP's proprietary docking connector, headphone jack and an additional USB 2.0 port on the right. Measuring 12.2 x 8.27 x 0.62 inches and weighing only 2.68 pounds, the Elitebook 1020 is thinner and lighter than the Dell XPS 13 (0.7 inches, 3.3 pounds), the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga (0.76 inches, 3.5 pounds), and the 13-inch MacBook Air (0.68 inches, 2.9 pounds).
