HP EliteBook Folio 9470M — 14-inch Ultrabook, No OS
A slim 14-inch business ultrabook with a proven Intel Core i7-3687U processor, 16GB DDR3, and a 256GB SSD. The EliteBook Folio 9470M is designed for portability and corporate durability — shipped with no operating system installed. Buyers install their own OS of choice (Windows, Linux). A solid, reliable refurbished platform for IT administrators, developers, or cost-conscious buyers comfortable with OS deployment. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Features
- Intel Core i7-3687U: 3rd Gen dual-core, 4-thread, up to 3.3GHz — handles everyday productivity tasks, web browsing, and office applications reliably.
- 16GB DDR3: More RAM than many newer budget laptops — comfortable for multitasking, light development work, and running multiple applications.
- 256GB SSD: Fast SSD storage — much quicker OS installation, boot, and file access than original HDD units.
- Slim ultrabook chassis: HP EliteBook build quality in a lightweight, compact 14-inch form factor designed for corporate professionals who prioritise portability.
- No OS — any platform: Install Windows, Ubuntu, Debian, or any compatible operating system. Clean slate, no bloatware, no product key required for Linux.
- HP EliteBook reliability: Enterprise-grade build quality with spill-resistant keyboard and HP's business support heritage.
Performance in Use
The i7-3687U is a 3rd Gen (Ivy Bridge) dual-core chip — modest by modern standards but fully capable for everyday productivity: email, web browsing, Microsoft Office or LibreOffice, light data work, and remote desktop sessions. Paired with 16GB DDR3 and a 256GB SSD, the system feels significantly more responsive than original mechanical-HDD configurations.
Linux distributions run particularly well on this hardware — drivers are mature and well-supported for 3rd Gen Intel. Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian are all compatible. For Windows users, Windows 10 installs cleanly; Windows 11 is not supported by this processor generation.
The 14-inch ultrabook chassis makes this a practical device for portability-first users: IT field technicians, developers needing a lightweight secondary machine, or budget-conscious buyers comfortable self-deploying an operating system.
