Sophisticated New Design
The stainless steel surface, new dual-pointing device (touchpad and pointstick) with scroll zone, jog dial and touch-sensitive controls help it stand up to the heavy demands of business use.

Passes Rigorous MIL-STD 810F Testing
Designed to meet the tough military standards (MIL-STD 810F) for altitude, high temperatures and dust, the HP EliteBook 2730p can operate at extreme temperatures over 60 °C/140 °F and below –29 °C/–20 °F.

Review By Ruggedpcreview

Unlike the innovative tc1100, the Elitebook uses the common notebook convertible design with the rotating LCD case hinge. Gone also are the non-standard chip and digitizer solutions of prior Compaq/HP slates, all replaced with more standard Intel and Wacom Tablet PC fare. As a result, the 2730p is a much faster and entirely more pleasant machine, though some will miss the unconventional yet more purposeful tablet design of the older machines.

Review By Computershopper

The 3.7-pound 2730p is just over an inch thick and clearly built for the executive road warrior. It’s encased in an industrial-looking matte-magnesium chassis and equipped with a 3D accelerometer to prevent hard drive damage in case the tablet is dropped, as well as HP’s DuraKeys to make the writing on the keys last. The system meets MIL-STD 810F standards for resisting dust, the effects of altitude, and high temperatures—though we can’t really see anyone taking it out in the “real” wild. (Sitting in a hot car all afternoon is more likely.) HP also arms this system with QuickLook 2, which lets you load your Outlook e-mail, calendar, and contacts without booting into Windows.

Review By Tabletpcreview

The touchpad is nice and has double buttons. The touchpad is new to the 2730p because the 2710p only had the pointing stick. Well the 2730p has both options, which is nice for users because then they can choose. The touchpad seems a little slower then the pointing stick and the problem with the touchpad is that it gets in the way if you only want to use the nub, so you have to go in your settings and disable it, where is the disable button. It is a little on the small side as well, the design could have been different. I prefer the pointing stick on this model because it is more accurate and doesn’t make you feel cramped.

Review By Geek

The 2730p looks and feels great. When handling the device users will no doubt be wondering why more notebooks are not designed like this one. It is compact and reasonably thin (11.24 x 8.35 x 1.11-in) and feels quite sturdy. The most noticeable characteristics on the exterior is that all the parts look and feel metal, so it’s quite reassuring. There is only a single hinge so the edges of the display flex in a bit when pressed, but past that the 2730p is still solid. A latch keeps the display firmly locked down, whether it is closed or in tablet mode, and there is an stylus silo on the rear, lefthand corner. When pushed, the stylus slowly releases it is ejects about and inch after which it must be pulled out. This means you can’t shoot it out of the notebook and it is almost impossible for it to fall out accidentally.

Everything about the HP 2730p Tablet PC feels strong and sturdy. Its very comfortable in your hand and the keyboard feel good under your fingers. Having the option of using the track pointer or the the track pad means everyone will be happy. Personally I’m a fan of the track pad which is smooth and responsive.

The HP 2730p Tablet PC that I had here was the Core 2 duo 1.86Hz, running Windows Vista Business with 3 gigs of ram. Users have three pre configured base options they can customize to best suit their individual needs.
