HP doesn't plan to offer a panel capable of pen and finger inputs at this point. The X200T allows for finger input and the XT has a capacitive screen that is capable of multitouch finger gestures. The 2730p's LED-backlit resistive (passive) touchscreen display recognizes only the input of a stylus, unlike the ThinkPad X200T and Latitude XT, which have more advanced touch functionality. We appreciated the small button on its spine for left-clicking on the desktop. The stylus, which slides into the right side of the chassis, is very light and comfortable to hold. For $150 extra, you can outfit the notebook with an outdoor-readable display.

When using the convertible while lying in bed we wished the screen was a tad brighter, but we enjoyed good viewing angles. Its 12.1-inch (1280 x 800-pixel) Illumi-Lite antiglare display served up minimal reflections or grayness (typical of tablets, due to the digitizer over the display) when we watched Hulu or YouTube clips. While the concave trackpoint is more recessed than those found on Lenovo's ThinkPad line, it was comfortable and allowed us to navigate the desktop smoothly.Ĭlick to enlargeThe lightness of the 2730p was even more apparent when we held it as a tablet in the crook of our arm. While we like the choice of the two navigation methods, we preferred using the trackpoint and the mouse buttons below the space bar the 2.7 x 1.0-inch touchpad is incredibly cramped and the second set of mouse buttons, carved out of the deck below it, require too hard of a press to make selections. Similar to many Dell Latitudes, the 2730p opts for a trackpoint-and-touchpad combination. Above the keyboard is a responsive touch-sensitive strip containing shortcuts for raising, lowering, and muting audio, and a button that launches HP's presentation settings menu.

Similar to that of the keyboard on the HP Mini 2140, the EliteBook 2730p's full-size, spill-resistant keyboard is coated with HP's DuraKey finish, which makes the highly responsive keys comfortable to type on. One of the 2730p's strongest features is its keyboard.
