The maker of expensive printer ink, HP has out designed Apple and created a much thinner notebook that Sir Jonny Ive could.

For years Apple has been “king of the thin” producing ever more anorexic designs, for ever more dollars. But now it appears that task was not as difficult as the Tame Apple Press claimed, and even HP can do it.

HP’s EliteBook Folio will be in the shops for $999 in March and will be $300 less than Apple's status symbol and will co-operate better with business networks because it runs Windows.

HP EliteBook Folio Piano HingeMeasuring 11.5 x 8.2 x 0.47 inches for the non-touch model and 0.49 inches thick for the touch version and weighing less than 2.2 pounds.
It’s slim body is made from CNC-machined aluminium. Jobs mob’s MacBook weighs more and is fatter at its thickest point (0.14 to 0.52 inches).
