Series: The HP Elitebook 700 series belongs to HP's Elitebook family and consist of three models which are HP EliteBook 725, HP EliteBook 745 and HP EliteBook 755. All of the laptops under this series are running on AMD PRO A-Series processors. These come with different display sizes, which are 12.5 inch, 14 inch, and 15.6 inch. Besides that, all the laptops have the option to choose a touch or a non-touch display. They also comes with various connectivity features including VGA, Display Port, and RJ-45.
This series consists of very lightweight and thin laptops. The HP Elitebook 755 with 15.6 inch touchscreen is the heaviest, but it only weighs 2,06 kg and is 2.06 cm high. Thus, it is very easy to commute around with it. Note: touch models are usually heavier ant thicker than non-touch ones. All other laptops of this series are less than 2 cm high and weigh under 2 kg, which lives up to the claim of being lightweight and thin. Furthermore, you can also select many other options including operating system, processor, internal storage, up to 16 GB RAM and different types of displays. Thus, this series is clearly designed to satisfy a wide range of users.

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.
The same applies to tablets in this size range.
