Design

The HP Elitebook 755 G5 is more solidly built than its predecessor. With a sturdy metal lid and bottom chassis, it’s amazing how it manages to stay lightweight at 1.78kg (about 1.98kg for touchscreen version) when the HP 650 G4 with plastic build, for example, weighs over 2 kilograms.

NOTE: weight could vary according to storage configuration.

If you intend to use this AMD-powered notebook for work, it’s got all the connection ports you’d need: USB 3.0 Type-A, USB 3.1 Type-C, Gigabit LAN port, docking port, and smart card reader. There’s even a SIM card slot. The absence of a micro SD card slot is however disappointing.

The Elitebook 755 G5’s keyboard is decent for a comfortable typing experience. The keys are backlit and there is a rubber TrackPoint in between the G, H, and B keys. HP did well to add some dedicated keys to the keyboard; there are keys for making calls, the Fn key turns on/off the keyboard back light etc.

Display

The top lid houses the 15.6-inch display which comes with a FHD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) resolution and >400 cd/m² brightness. The base model of the HP Elitebook 755 G5 comes with a non-touch display while a higher, and more expensive model with touchscreen display is also available. Both models sport the same FHD resolution.

The display is held firmly by the notch-like hinge on the bottom chassis which allows the screen be moved back to about 145 degrees. Brightness is decent; reading angles and outdoor usage won’t be a problem.
