EliteBook have a reputation for toughness, and the 2760p is no different. At a glance, it resembles last yearâs model, the HP EliteBook 2740p, complete with the same silver and black color scheme. HP refers to the chassis as a magnesium-aluminum hybrid as it features both materials. The magnesium elements include the back of the display and bottom, while the brushed aluminum can be found surrounding the keyboard and touchpad, as well as on the sturdy display hinge. The black bottom half is slightly rubberized and easy to grip. The display panel is also grip friendly, with a segmented chunk of the back sporting a slighter coarser grain than the border. The aforementioned screen hinge protrudes slightly from the rear of the device, but not enough to function as a comfortable grip point. The display rotates 180-degrees to the right and folds back over the keyboard to engage its tablet mode. One slight design flaw is that while the display snaps into place, there is a small amount of space between the keyboard and the screenâs back panel. It should be flush and the 2760p should function as one solid unit when in tablet mode, instead the display slightly âbouncesâ when pressed. Overall, the 2760p feels solid, and though I didnât test it, I gather it can withstand a few drops. In fact, HP claims it was tested to withstand 26 drops from 30 inches. The body displays very little creak or flex when stressed, with only the screen panel lid giving in slightly when pressed. Turn the EliteBook 2760p over and youâll see a flush battery and large access panel secured with three screws, which remain attached when the panel is removed. Underneath is the hard drive, RAM slot, and the Wi-Fi and WAN card. My review unit only had one accessible RAM slot, though there is another, factory-set RAM slot under the keyboad.
